You might be able to help me out with some photography! ;) I like to think I'm a photographer, have a gander at my fb page 'lewspeight visuals'. I can't linky I'm on my phone :

Edit: erm, please help me out with some photography? :)

I doubt I can help you as it looks like you are a far better photographer than me!
I will bring along the camera and lenses as space allows so you are welcome to have a look at gear and see how mine compares to yours. I only go up to a 200mm but this can be extended to 400mm if you know how! (Wideboy that is not sexual)

I don't know anything but I'm surprisingly literate and have read several of your posts on this forum referencing forgetting stuff.

The routes we've been considering have a few interesting high speed (optional!) bits, but there are at least 3 GM members who should be restricted too. ;)

I don't know. Close call. We may have to organise some sort of youngest whippersnapper competition. Loser gets a jailbate jersey. :D

The rule with the AR is that it's a community event. Family are allowed without being members of the forum but anyone else would be expected to join and get involved in the community. If they're not interested in that then they're not welcome. If they are and they join in then it doesn't matter what bike they ride. :)

Ok fair enough, one of them is my dad, loves doing this stuff, but personally can't see him ever joining a forum...As for the other couple of lads, i'm sure they could be convinced :D
