dcr, No worries mate, the plan (so far) is to make the trip regardless of weather - as we fully expect the weather to be of the non-biking variety - probably by car. This means we can take all the time we want in the exhibition, have a pub lunch (and a beer or two for those who won't be driving), and head home safe in the knowledge that the wipers can be switched on, heater turned up, big headlights to see ahead and not have to worry too much about the operating temp of our favourite super stickies. It also makes sense since I hope to have a few of our good friends join us from Aberdeen, and that would be a long sore day in the saddle. Stay in touch mate, and I'll let you know how things develop. Cheers! Scott |
