With regards to the AR...

Personally for me, i would only choose one to go to, due to work commitments (its a pain getting time off) and i think having one event makes it just that little more special...more people make the effort to get time off for the one main event each year...if you see where i am coming from.

I camped (thanks to Mr & Mrs Big Ape) on the weekend and enjoyed every minute of it, so i think a long weekend would be really good, a chance for everyone to get together and have a good time.

Name tags..afew people mentioned this on the day that it would have been useful and i agree, i did notice afew peeps who just stayed beside there bikes and didnt socialise.. maybe having name tags will make interaction easier...or a few pints lol

As for the actual ride...well i felt, either it was a tad too long or there was not enough stops, at some points, i couldnt feel my right hand or my backside and i was hurting badly that i considered pulling over. The pace, well this was down to each individual, and as i think Greg mentioned, those who wanted to have alittle more of a challenge kept dropping off for the marker system and then making their way back up the pack (Big Ape or Sid Squid for example)...but i must say that riding with 70 bikes was fantastic...and hearing everyones engines ticking over...and the look of villagers faces as we rode through.

This rideout is becoming not so unoffical after all lol

Great weekend...look forward to next year!
