Have to say im feeling a bit anxious about this, dont know why, just worried some of the route might be a bit tricky and im not riding my best at the momentfor various reasons. Also I was going to b&b with my OH but we've split so now I have to bring my tent and everything on my own.

I will be there though

Don't worry about the rideout its self its has never been that tricky I'm sure people will be there to help you out. Its never a fast paced ride, remember. Always ride your own ride, who cares what anyone else does right or wrong your in control of your own bike.

Camping is great you will get to meet loads of people, its not as tricky as you think loading the bike up with your gear. I'm sure you will have a great time, I have been to the past 3 ARs, they have all been good. I'm not sure if I'm coming yet, depends on a few things.

THats why my worrying is stupid, ive done the last two ar's and had a blast. I think im just worrying about some of the roads up there, I rode that area on my own and struggled with parts. Something to do with my ludicrous dislike of riding downhill!!

Wouldn't worry about the route KJ.
I've recced it, and the reason for me going up to do it, was because if I found any part difficult, it would be scrapped. This is why part of it is going to be re run by me and Orose, as it wasn't suitable.....it will this time
Riding downhill isn;t my forte either, downhill left hand hairpins to be precise.......there ain't any

I'll most likely to be at the back, not as TEC but perhaps as a guide for any uncertain members, as a bit of a boost of morale, if that makes sense. I won't be marking either.....Leos don't need hi viz vests!

Bearing in mind that with the amount of riders the average speed will be 30 mph
The AR is never a spirited ride, yes, there will be sections to stretch legs, at each and everyones personal way of course.
