Cake goes on top of the tank bag, to provide the rider with sustinence. :)

[CROcat]

lol don't worry guys, cake will be there, of course that is, if TLW doesn't drop us on the entrance again :D

[Littlepeahead]

I'm trying to decide if I should bring chocolate cake, banana loaf, Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle, carrot cake or cupcakes.

I'm bringing the car though.

[dirtydog]

If you're bringing the car then surely you can fit all of those in?

I'd say, yes. Definitely.

[The Idle Biker]

Lager, Bitter, Wine or Port? mmmmmmm? I think I shall drink according to the weather conditions.

[Littlepeahead]

You think I've got a car big enough to bring all those cakes?

[ClunkintheUK]

Yes, you've got one of them big saloooooons don't you?

[ClunkintheUK]

There's that word "or" again. What does it mean, never needed it when talking about drinking or cakes, and suddenly it's in the thread twice.

[The Idle Biker]

I like your thinking.

[PyroUK]

You think I've got a car big enough to bring all those cakes?

Yes. You don't need anything else. Just cake. Cake will get you everywhere.

Just make sure you save me some for Saturday!!!

[Littlepeahead]

So what you are are saying is that I need to book the Thursday off to bake all day like some crazed Mary Berry on amphetamines? And I forgot to include coffee cake in that list too.

Is Hong coming? If so I can adapt the lemon drizzle to be dairy free using soya milk and margarine instead of butter - it tastes just as nice but won't bring out his odd cow allergy.

[ClunkintheUK]

Well the coffee cake would help with the crazed Merry Berry thing. just triple the caffeine and everything should work out just super.

[Jason H]

+1 for the Coffee Cake

I can't help but feel this is starting to sound like an alcohol fuelled bake sale...

[the_lone_wolf]

This is why I love this forum...

One or two comments can completely alter the course of the "AR13 Chat" thread to "Which cakes are going to be there"

:D

[ClunkintheUK]

Its a very important subject. Not so much a de-rail as a re-rail.

[Littlepeahead]

I hear some people are bringing motorcycles, but most are just turning up with paper plates, napkins and doilies.

[orose]

Paper? What sort of animals do you take us for?

[CROcat]

:smt087 Wait a minute people! Are you telling me this isn't a thread for cake fans?

[Spank86]

I'm struggling not to make any jokes about odd cow allergies.

[Jason H]

For the love of cake I'd suggest keeping the lid on them... [-o<

Yes, the more cake the better!

But seriously, save me some! I missed out last time :(

[Littlepeahead]

Slight change of plan... Job will now be making the cakes and not me. He will answer to the name Mary, or Mrs Berry if you know him less well, from now until the conclusion of the AR.

[jambo]

Babysitter - sorted
Tent - Located (but at another house elsewhere in London)
Sleeping bags - Located but unchecked
Airbed - Oh yeah, that spung a leak, uhm, moving on...
Panniers - Swore blind I wouldn't use them again after last time due to how bad the zips got...
Bike - OK provided I don't want lights & forward motion for any extended period.

Oh and the in-laws are here this week and I'm in Belgrade the week after so no time to sort anything.

Yeah I'm pretty much ready I reckon :D

[rictus01]

got a couple of sets of semi ridged pannier if you're in need Jambo ?

Long range weather forecast according to yours truly is excellent.

[Littlepeahead]

Don't say things like that. The long range forecast for Download this weekend had been excellent. 2 days out it's changed to rain the whole way through.

[jambo]

Thanks Mark,
I've just ordered a replacement set via eBay, as well as a new MOSFET reg/rec after some tests yesterday confirmed that the current one had bought the farm.

We should be groovy :-)

Some of the villages on the route are very postcard and quiet. Can we ask the 90+ attendees to remove baffles and rock their world.

Awww cut yer whinging about giving bikers a bad name, I'm only joking.

Of course I'm not asking, its up to you.

They will if they come to the AR.

Hang on that's not what you meant is it.

Oh yeah, all fine. Just a bit knackered so need a weekend off.

[Jason H]

Well as long as everything's alright...not an excuse though! :rolleyes:

[Mark_h]

I'll be standing in for LPH for mid-ride action shots but if anyone else is bringing any halfway decent photo gear with them we could do with some decent pics before the ride-out to make sure we have several thousand mostly identical pictures to fill the internet with afterwards.

Anyone putting their hand up to be official pre-ride photographer as I'll need a head start to get into position for the action shots on one of the cool right-handers.

We can forget about cakes and bikinis as I'm sure they'll sort themselves out all by themselves.

I'm fairly sure there will be some other girls coming who can complain about the state of the toilet seat and the frequency of farting after dark.

[Littlepeahead]

Depends if I can have a chance to catch up properly with my dad before then. He's going into hospital for open heart surgery 2 days after AR. Though the hospital have postponed it twice already.

[Jason H]

Ah, that's understandable. Best of luck for the man!

Postponed twice before...bloody NHS. It's great; but at the same time rubbish!

[Littlepeahead]

At least my Dad's is planned surgery. Father in law keeled over in his office ten years ago with a heart attack, an NHS ambulance was on it's way to a lesser emergency nearby and re-routed and they got him going again, so while I grumble about the postponement, without them he wouldn't be here today.

If you're bothered about quality of photos, have a gander at my fb page 'LewSpeight Visuals'.

Not sure how much gear im taking down, for transportation reasons but yeh i'm down for that.

edit: I'll probably be bringing down my GoPro too, to either video stuff or put it on the sequence photo thing to take a photo every second to get cool mid-ride shots.

[Mark_h]

Cheers. I'm sure between us we can get some decent shots. Catch up with you Friday night/Saturday morning to make sure we've got it all covered. I'll be the staggeringly good looking bloke next to the immaculately prepared bike. (one or more of those attributes may prove unfounded)

[LewSpeight]

Cool. I'll be the only one with the 'Focus ST Orange' naked SV..
Just come and approach me, i wont throw the first punch ;)

So you'll be wearing the bikini then?

[ClunkintheUK]

Any suggestions for where to mount a gopro. still got a bunch of mounting stickers as well as mountain bike handle bar mounts. Trying to think of some interesting angles.

[LewSpeight]

Swingarm, chesty mount is amazing, facing backwards under the passenger grab rail..?

[ClunkintheUK]

Just stick a mount pad there, or any better options. I'll probably try a couple out this weekend.

[Mrs_giggles]

Looks like hubby is not going on his bike due to a leak, so I think that temperance may be staying at home as well seems much more sense to share fuel cost also haven tgot new tyers yet and still at work till tue.

You have been slacking paul.

Don't tell me you've lost both the list and ALL the money we gave you.

All 90 people wanted them AND paid as well!

Plus you said you'd chuck in free cake.:^o

[Paul the 6th]

I was short on cash for drugs and prostitutes in Budapest man...

[Spank86]

Understandable, forget the Tshirts, bring photos.

I was short on cash for drugs and male prostitutes, ooo I just love Budapest's men...

Corrected for you.

[Davies]

Quick question chaps, I might be coming down in the 4x4 just for the Saturday nights' antics, which means I'll be sleeping in the back of it. Are cars allowed on the field where tents will be pitched? No worries if not, I'll just throw the tent in the back.

[Littlepeahead]

In case anyone hasn't met Fallout before I thought it would be useful to show you a photo so you can recognise him when you arrive. He looks like this.

I can bring mine if you like Mark, I think it runs off 12v so can use the vans batteries to power it up

we do. We just neglected to tell the MET office to update their forecast to an accurate one.

[ClunkintheUK]

No Spank, its part of the plan. I told the met office to say the weather would be rubbish so that no-one else would plan to be out and about, try and keep the roads quiet.
