I'm in depending on the date. Me & MrsCF got a week in Spain end Sept start Oct so will see what date is picked. MrsCF's pillion season is over, so just me..... or is it ?

Gutted I missed last year's. By missed, I mean set off and turned back after 20 mins. The weather was brutal so I bottled it, shat it and wimped out. It sure sorted the men out from the boys!

Meanwhile the rest of us were riding over Glenshee and the Lecht at 45 degree lean angles in a straight line, with sideways rain and gales

I'll never forget stopping at the top of the steep hill up to the Lecht to wait for everybody, and watching a string of bike headlights bobbing about like corks in a swimming pool coming up the hill. I laughed my head off.

I don't think I've been wetter on a bike since my teenage days riding in jeans and a leather jacket with no waterproofs, up Blackpool prom, with the waves coming over the sea wall and spraying everybody (my god that wee Honda's exhaust rusted quick!).

On the ride back down on the Sunday, I've never had such cold hands as my gloves were still soaked through from the Saturday and it was about 5 degrees going down past the Laggan dam, my hands actually went through several different levels of pain. After we split up at Callendar late afternoon/early evening it went dark and started to feckin' snow and the roads turned slippy. Tiger55 in his Spada textile gear stayed dry as a bone, I'll never forgive him for that, it's just not tennis (It's actually just jealousy and when I get round to replacing my textiles, they will be Spada)... Poor old JamesMio still had to get 100 miles back to Dumfries after we'd ridden all day on the Sunday wet and frozen.

It was a good laugh watching you trying to eat that. In fact all the Aviemore runs have been a good laugh.

Why am I having stupid thoughts about riding up to KG's on the Friday afternoon, working from his broadband connection on the Monday, and doing another 1000 mile weekend?

As you never put your kit in the bunkhouse drying room you mean?

Because it'll be a bloody good laugh? And because maybe you fancy your chances at the Org Air Guitar Championships...

Pah! The fool has no chance!

A high/lowlight for me from last year was watching Ralph pull out of the junction in Tomintoul and just about scrape his right knee on the deck. "What the ****'s he playing at?!" thought I, as I rolled up to the junction, pulled out and was almost blown horizontal by the Huuuuuuge gust of wind that'd obviously almost turfed him over too!

Good times!
