Rideout of the Stuartyboy 2009

[stuartyboy]

Yo dudes.

I am planning on doing a repeat of the above rideout towards the end of Sept/Beginning of Oct.

It's the same route as last time. Kinross to Aviemore via Dunkeld, Blairgowrie, Spittal, Braemar then Aviemore.

Return leg is Aviemore , spean bridge, glencoe tyndrum, lochearn then everyone else heads back east or west.

This should be more or less the end of season finale (excluding ice cream runs)

Anyone interested? I'll be doing it anyway.

[svdemon]

I'll be up for this providing i can make it, sounds like a quality route!

[aarond]

yeah im hoping to do this even if its just meeting at aviemore!

[Sally]

I will be in. :)

Is this a Saturday Sunday job, or Friday and Saturday?
More likely if its Saturday Sunday..

[gerbrox]

Providing I'm not working I'm in

[JamesMio]

I'm in! Are you actually going to grace us with your presence this year Mr Boy?

Last year's was a great run, albeit through some of the most horrendous weather I've ever ridden through!

[aarond]

we went on a ride as well.....lol nah but luckly we did get it dry on thetomintoul roadwas it?

[shonadoll]

I will come along depending on when it is.

[Tiger 55]

I'm mad for it.

I have no memory of it being dry at any point last year, but the beer and the dancing were excellent. :-)

Didn't a certain someone get ****ed off with you're technique for warming tyres? ;)

[kitkat]

stuartyboy's aviemore run is always a "flaming" success lol

Maybe, but he's still going to get 20 people committed to going, then bugger off before route or accommodation need to be sorted and Kilted Ginger and Northy will end up finalising all the arrangements. Maybe I'm getting confused with last year ;)

The first Rideout Of The Stuartyboy was the best rideout ever- fact. It had everything- random track bikes, fires, police interventions, turnip juice, Stuartyboy's moves proving irresistable to the young boys, Glenshee By Cloud, the Lecht in a rainstorm, "Where's my bag" and "HAVE SOME RESPECT!" Quality.

Last year I decided it was going to be bad weather and didn't go. I've decided this year it's going to be nice. But, not 16th and 17th October please as I'll be in Kirroughtree.

[Tiger 55]

not 16th and 17th October please
+1. 3rd and 4th of October please. :)

definitely hard to top that rideout lol. had a great time despite having to leave early to go home to balloch to get into car to drive to perth to get kids to drive back to balloch. nearly 1000 miles in one weekend. my bum was on fire (nearly literally)

[haggis]

Count us in, but will probably be late arrivals on Saturday evening.

Anyhow, this may well be the first proper run of the season on the SV for me so it HAS to be attended. :rolleyes:


Please remember to leave space in tankbags to pack yer Air Guitars. :smt035 Mandatory requirement.

[Tiger 55]

Only the very young and the very beautiful can do the knee slide. Timing is everything.

[aarond]

hmm.... all depends on who is judging i suppose ;)

[combatfred]

I'm in depending on the date. Me & MrsCF got a week in Spain end Sept start Oct so will see what date is picked. MrsCF's pillion season is over, so just me.....:smt010 or is it :p?

Gutted I missed last year's. By missed, I mean set off and turned back after 20 mins. The weather was brutal so I bottled it, shat it and wimped out. It sure sorted the men out from the boys!

[Cumfy]

I suppose it's time I have to face my fears and try to conquer ......:smt027....




..the BOB.:reaper:

Will stop eating now so I might have a chance!
(or maybe I will order something a tad smaller)


So I guess thats me saying I'll be there!!

The weather was brutal so I bottled it, shat it and wimped out.

Meanwhile the rest of us were riding over Glenshee and the Lecht at 45 degree lean angles in a straight line, with sideways rain and gales ;)

I'll never forget stopping at the top of the steep hill up to the Lecht to wait for everybody, and watching a string of bike headlights bobbing about like corks in a swimming pool coming up the hill. I laughed my head off.

I don't think I've been wetter on a bike since my teenage days riding in jeans and a leather jacket with no waterproofs, up Blackpool prom, with the waves coming over the sea wall and spraying everybody (my god that wee Honda's exhaust rusted quick!).

On the ride back down on the Sunday, I've never had such cold hands as my gloves were still soaked through from the Saturday and it was about 5 degrees going down past the Laggan dam, my hands actually went through several different levels of pain. After we split up at Callendar late afternoon/early evening it went dark and started to feckin' snow and the roads turned slippy. Tiger55 in his Spada textile gear stayed dry as a bone, I'll never forgive him for that, it's just not tennis (It's actually just jealousy and when I get round to replacing my textiles, they will be Spada)... Poor old JamesMio still had to get 100 miles back to Dumfries after we'd ridden all day on the Sunday wet and frozen.

It was a good laugh watching you trying to eat that. In fact all the Aviemore runs have been a good laugh.

Why am I having stupid thoughts about riding up to KG's on the Friday afternoon, working from his broadband connection on the Monday, and doing another 1000 mile weekend?

As you never put your kit in the bunkhouse drying room you mean? ;)

Because it'll be a bloody good laugh? And because maybe you fancy your chances at the Org Air Guitar Championships...

[JamesMio]

Pah! The fool has no chance!

A high/lowlight for me from last year was watching Ralph pull out of the junction in Tomintoul and just about scrape his right knee on the deck. "What the ****'s he playing at?!" thought I, as I rolled up to the junction, pulled out and was almost blown horizontal by the Huuuuuuge gust of wind that'd obviously almost turfed him over too!

Good times!

[Sally]

This should be good :)

[wulfie]

Well if its anything like last year *judging by the hangover we all had the next day:smt030 and how stuffed cumfy was after that burger* Im in!! and im sure mr haggis is as well :rolleyes: lol it would be a good test run for the new bike's :D

[gerbrox]
