Sleeping under the stars or sleeping in a real bed????
 

OK so I guess we also need to sort out accomodation. So another poll. :wink:

YES I know we do not have a venue yet. It's coming real soon so hang in there and wait for it. :wink:

If you need accomodation please state the type of accomodation that you will want. Please vote on the poll carefully as we will need numbers to be more or less correct so that the we can organize properly and make sure that enough space / rooms are found to accomodate everyone.

Closer to the date we will look into the poll results and source accomodation accordingly.

If there is not an option in the poll that suits you, then please send me a pm and I will add your option.

IF you are still undecided if you can make AR06 then please don't vote

The poll will be open ended so there is no rush to get your option picked. When it comes to the time that we need all the undecided to pick an option so that we can organize accomodation I will notify here.

crikey thought - everyones camping...!!

then I saw only I had cast a vote.!

I've just voted also :lol: So now everyone IS camping. :lol:

good...!!!
I cant drink a 4 pack meself !!

Well I'm glad I've pitched up early, looks like the campsite is packing out!

camping. No way. Like my creature comforts. Warm bed, hot shower in the morning. Breaky, warm comfortable dump and away.

nice to have a warm room to come back to assumming it will be peeing down as per normal in tropical britain.

So hotel close to wherever the aleing is being done to stagger back. But not close enough to be kept up all night by drunken bikers. Unless of course the drunken biker is a she and feeling extreamly amour...... lets not go there I need another shower this time cold

Def camping again

Same here. Might let the missus out if shes good.... :lol:

Now if someone's decided to camp just on the Friday night, do they know that the rideout is actually on the Sunday? :lol:

I'll be there, hopefully with Mrs jonboy and for both Friday and Saturday nights.

I would of course join BigApe in the (now) traditional hair-dying festival but due to technical problems will be unable to do so :lol: .


.

Camping although I will be getting an early night so I can get up early in the morning to go for a five mile run. :lol:

Is it. :shock: :?: That makes my poll a bit of an **** then really. :lol: :lol:

Hopefully not in the same tent :shock: :shock: There is getting close and personal and there is getting CLOSE and squashed. :lol: :lol:

Oh and what would that technical problem be then :?: I thought it was just because your as bald as a billiard ball. :wink: :lol: :lol:

Could always draw some rabbits on his head. :lol:

Technicaly speaking hair dye wont stick to things that aint got no hair ;)

I deffo camping/whatever this year I really wish I had last year. Just one question: Will the drinking etc be taking place away from the site and if so how secure will our kit be? I have never really camped anywhere other than the workers compound at Glastonbury and I had nothing as valuable as bike kit there.

Perhaps this would call for permanent marker pen? :lol:

Well I was merely going on previous years. However DarylB PM'd suggesting that we make it a Saturday (I'd been thinking exactly the same thing). So that would actually be ideal. If most peeps were to come up on Friday, party through the night (though please respect myself and Mrs jonboy will retire to our tent at 9pm - though we maybe back out later :lol: ), then on the Saturday we could have an early afternoon start (allowing those who don't wish to arrive on Friday time to get to the destination), have a 100 mile ride during the afternoon and then back for more partying on Saturday night. Sunday could be a relaxed wake up, breakfast at leisure, then peeps can depart with plenty of time and no pressure to get home.

What do folks think?

Gets my vote

Sounds good. :lol:

Sounds like a plan to me Jonboy.

So will yours & Mrs Jonboy's tent be the one with the 'do not disturb' sign on it then? :wink:

Only between nine and half past ten :lol: .


.

Shouldnt that be...

You stud

:lol: :wink:

I thought that's what was happening this year, anyway.
I was somewhat hungover on the morning of the ride last year.

dunno why!!..
you dropped most of yer ale..in the glass!!!

I seem to remember that also...

sounds like a pretty good plan there JB.

You remember :shock: :shock: Think someone is telling a few :^o :^o

i doubt jimbo cud even remember his name !!!

anyway- back to the thread-----

Jonboy- to me that sounds perfecto!..the bomb- the best idea ever...superb...
kinda what was suggesgted after the last one I think..a gret night after the rideout wud be ace to socialise..and then a lazy morning brekky and whom !! (home as we say round here duck!)

I remember being hungover..... :oops:

Sounds like a good plan - would be good to have a day / half-day either side of the main rideout - and then be able to ride home at leeesure on Sunday.

Also I don't really 'do' mornings when I've been drinking the night before. Sometimes I don't do afternoons either.

Maybe I'll stick to fizzy pop. :?

Anyone that can't eat a Sid Squid fried breakfast REALLY are not good in the mornings :wink:

Just that once, Simon... just that once... :sick: :oops:

I'd be up for camping... but don't know if I'll be able to get hold of a tent. Does everyone tend to bring their own... or are people up for some tent-buddying? :D

Cazza,

I've got a 2/3 person dome tent that you're welcom to borrow. I'll be in a B&B, so I won't be using it.

.

i like the sound of jonboys idea 8)

Thanks Steve - might take you up on that. (Assuming that's a 2 or 3 person, not a two-thirds of a person tent. ho ho).

No it's Greg that has one of those, at least he did last year. :lol:

It's got to do two of us this year :lol: .

On normal camp sites everything as safe as can be. Ive camped on places with bike, and other valuable kit without any worries. Granted they are rural places.

But what I do if ever worried (once!) is have one of those thin curly lock cables and thread it though lid, panniers etc. You can even thread through jacket sleeve etc if your worried. The thin long ones are very cheap.

Ok, not high security, but any camp site theft tends to be opportunistic.

i am going to take a massive tent that i can fit my bike in (i know its sad but true)

8)

Make sure you pop one of those little luggage locks on the zipper :wink: :lol:

will be camping. cant guarantee much sleeping will be going on though :lol:
