AR10 itinerary help

[N8te rider]

Hi all. Can someone tell me what the itinerary is for the AR10 weekend i.e. rideouts, eating times, etc

thanks

[BernardBikerchick]

normally tends to be told when we're there when they have a markers meeting etc .... follow the bike in front ! ;)

There are so many threads to read. I came accross one that suggested there would be a saturday morning rideout but no times or route mentioned.

[Messie]

Main ride starts off at 9.30 for the pre-ride briefing. The rest of the day will be filled with riding, stopping occasionally for food/loo/nattering then return to base. Ride will last pretty much all day. No route published but won't be needed as all junctions will be clearly marked by a dedicated and experienced team.

Saturday evening is party time

Sunday morning is recovery time.

For me Sunday pm is ride home time - for others this will be at other times.

Think that about covers it

[Drew Carey]

Messie has pretty much covered it all really.

It really is a chilled out weekend. Cheryl and the rest of us will make ourselves known to all so if anyone has a question ask away.

I believe there are going to be maps available on the day. What if a bike experiences a problem and has an extended stop? The rider needs to know where the run is going to try and re-join it if the problem is fixed.

Cheers guys

Yes there will be maps given out when peeps arrive on site so they can have a good look and ask Strecthie, Cheryl, me or any of the markers if you have any questions. There will also be general tips and contact details on this sheet. So deffo worth folding in your pocket for the ride.

As for breakdowns. TEC will stay with anyone who breaks down. Plus TEC will contact a number of the markers etc who will notify Strecthie and plans can be made to assist. No one will be left alone at anytime.

The main key to help this is for peeps to make sure they flag down a marker / TEC so that we are aware. Pulling over in a layby / petrol station and not telling anyone will mean someone could be missed. So we just ask that people flag it.

On a seperate note. We are all old enough to sort ourselves out so ask people are sensible, don't drink too much Friday etc etc etc.

It really is a weekend of chilling, no worrying etc.

Well I have had to bodge the Reg/rec this week as the connector had melted, so it's always possible :(.

Mind you, if it does breakdown, I know who to blame :smt067:smt067 :D

+1 to Drews post but here ya go...

Arrive, say hello and pay your camping fee or check in to the hotel. Pitch tent, make your way to the catering van whenever you feel hungry, go to the bar to get a pint or find someone doing a beer run. Meet people, walk around, mingle and have a relaxed and informative Friday night.

Saturday morning, up and brekkie when you want, but be ready with a full tank of petrol for a 9.30am pre ride briefing. Rideout will leave at 10 or before and there are plenty of stops for you to have a break, eat, drink and use the loo.
Get back to site, go for a swim, shower, eat when you feel like it, drink as much as you want, go to the bar/nightclub/sit in the field...whatever you fancy.

Sunday, up when you want, brekkie when you want, do what you want and leave when you want.

It's a really informal weekend, the only things we have set times for is the ride itself.

Just relax and enjoy :-)

[FG1]

With a view to having a full tank for the start of the ride, is there a fuel station close to the venue?
Sorry if this has already been covered but it has just entered my mind .....

I think i read on another thread it's right opposite the entrance to the site mate.

Not quite right opposite, but just a few hundred yard further up the road. That one is only open until 7pm, but they may stay open later for us. There is another station on the way to Hay-On-Wye. I'll post a thread up tomorrow or Monday with a map showing these so that if people want to fill up on the way to the site, they'll know where to go :-)

Edit - Post 24 in this thread, it was Quiff who said 'right opposite', trust him to be wrong!
