Glencoe Massacre rideout spam, dates poll:

[northwind]

Summer's coming, apparently, so that means I have to run another rideout :rolleyes: Dizzyblonde will shout at me if I don't. So, here is the dates poll for the 2009 Glencoe Massacre

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=124589

The exact location isn't yet set in stone- while we do have the option of running out of the same campsite/hotel/wigwam/b&b setup of last year I'm hoping to find somewhere to improve on that already high standard. So, I can't yet tell you exactly where we'll be, but the campsite should be within an hour or so of Glasgow or Edinburgh, so it'll be within one day's ride of most of England.

The format will be the same as last year, meaning there'll be one long rideout on the saturday, and there should also be a second rideout on the sunday. The saturday ride will be designed to be accessible to all- It'll not just be a short roll around the block, as there's no point in riding all the way to Scotland to do a quick run after lunch, but at the same time the route will be one that anyone can ride, perhaps with more difficult sections as alternative loops like we did last year.

Last year's was a huge success, or so I'm told ;) This year will be better!

So, before we can finalise anything else we need to know when it's actually going to be. We're down to one of three weekends in June, so, vote away

Maybe a field without slopes/rocks/bogs for camping in? :-P Heeehee just kidding, not fussed really :-D

Bring on the Massacre, looking forward to it already!

The most important bit is that June is NOT midge season :mrgreen: It's also drier than august in scotland, though the nice days are less nice.

:cheers: You don't know how happy that makes me (and no doubt the rest of the potential Massacre attendees) to read that :notworthy: :D

I love midges, I'm disappointed that we're going to miss them.

They didn't bother us at all. Skin So soft really works, and I've got loads left:D

[Lissa]

It must be true, Fizzwheel said so, and he wouldn't lie:smt083

[missyburd]

Fizz said it? Oh right in that case! My apologies Lissa I had no idea midges were so hungry for muck ;-) :-D

[Lissa]

Not many people have voted so far:(

Come on, you 'orrible lot, get fell in!

This is going to be a fabulous weekend, so vote for the dates and lets get this up and running!

[fizzwheel]

I've voted, but I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to go, trying not to make plans at the mo till I know that my wrist is healed properly.

I want to go, if its like last years, it'll be fricken ace.

[yorkie_chris]

Yeah, but it's no good watching but not telling him, just so you can laugh!:p

Yes, anyone who'd do that is an utter barsteward. Someone who would take the pi$$ just as the filler cap clicks shut is even worse.

You're just worried that you're going to end up walking round a petrol station with Pete trying to get rid of 16 litres of diesel again:D

The strangest thing was how hard it was to give away! The locals were incredibly suspicious of something free.

[Jdubya]

I may be up for this as it doesn't infringe on my leave too much:rolleyes:

The locals were having a mass brawl over it just out of sight. The people you spoke to were tourists.
