Thank you's etc etc...
 
With only a few days left until the AR I think it is time that Grunty, Stretchie and all the rest of the organisers are publicly thanked for all their hard work sorting out this years AR.



*round of applause* :smt003:smt003:smt003


I would also ask that everyone remembers that the markers for the rideout are doing it to ensure the smooth running of the event. Please don't abuse them or give them a hard time - the weekend is for them as well as you.


Ride safe all, and stay in front of me - I'll be the one at the very back.



Best Wishes to you all for a cracking weekend. See you on Friday.

Even though I'm not attending (this year) I tip my hat as anyone who gives up time & effort to organize something on this scale defo deserves at least a pint or two (no, not on commission).
So well done you lot (hat is tipping as i type), good luck to all attending, have fun & ride safe.

p.s. Looking forward to see some of the pics and no doubt epic stories.

Massive thanks to everyone who has organised this years AR, it's going to be absolutely epic..

just spoken to Cheryl, Drew, DMC and Spiderman in the last half an hour. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to attend the AR for a handful of reasons, number one being that I would be absolutely furious with myself if we missed leedsmatt's wedding service on sunday, and number 2 being that I've been run down with exhaustion for quite a few weeks. Drinking because everyone else is and sleeping in a tent will probably finish me off so I'm gonna take a weekend to have some proper me time with the missus with phones turned off, no internet and no one to answer to :)

Hope you all have a great weekend & sorry if I've let anyone down (preston, I'll buy you a beer on sunday night to make up for it buddy)

Thanks guys!!

As I said before, I know of profiting events companies that dont seem to have put in half as much effort as these guys have.

Thanks to Cheryl & her 'assistants' - for EVERYTHING !!! :smt058

Thanks to Stretchie - for the route :cool:

Thanks to The Markers - for doing exactly what it says on the tin

Thanks to Bellerephon - for taking on the most boring role - TEC

Thanks to KrazyKim - for being the perfect 'accessory' to my GS Adv (and one that Touratech could never even dream of competing with)

Thanks to The Org - for making it successful & wonderful

And finally, I hope that no-one thinks me hypocritical as it's well known that Hovis & I had our run-ins on the forum but . . .

. . . Thanks to Hovis - for getting things going and insisting that we all spend a weekend in Wales :cool:

Not in the slightest mate. Hovis was all things to all people. Some liked him, some didn't but he would do whatever he could for anyone.

Oh and BTW, TEC's job isn't as boring as some would think. I had more than one real good blast...

Ah the thank you thread excellent...

/admin mode on

1. A massive massive thank you to Cheryl for picking up the organising of the site and the AR itself. The site was awesome, you did an awesome job with getting everything into place. Fantastic effort. You've set an unbelivably high standard for next year.

2. To Drew & Lily, MBK and Mr Squirrel Huner, I popped up to the admin office a couple of times, and you all had everything under control, everything organised and sorted out, awesome job.

3. To Stretchie, for picking up the rideout plan from a rough couple of PM's and a google map from Hovis and fine tuning and tweaking it, that was one of the best days riding I've had.

4. Marker team quality job, even the ones you sent the wrong way ;) you gathered back up on got them back on track again.

5. Thanks to Bellerophon for TEC duties.

6. To everybody else for coming, these things just dont work unless you guys turn up, you make the forum what it is and you guys make the AR a fantastic weekend with the atmosphere that you create. It was also great to see so many new faces there, lots of newbies and people I didnt know :cool:

/admin mode off

To everybody that moved over to make my job as a Marker that tiny little bit easier, it was really appreciated :cool:

To the few of you that stopped when there was no marker where there should have been one, again thank you very much.

and lastly thanks to Hovis for the intial idea and groundwork, because without him putting himself forward to run it, there'd have been no AR at all.
