All true - twice for a sizeable number of people. Three times in the case of some of us.

True - but if you're trying to put me off, you've failed because:

Anyway the 2013 plan looks like a hopelessly half assed and entirely unachievable figment of some fevered imaginations, however I do sincerely wish to witness the whole sorry business die on it's ****, so:

S'pose.

Really, which bit?

Bare minimum we've got you a free campsite with toilets by a pub a petrol station and a biker cafe in the centre of our regions best biking roads.

Anything else is just a bonus.

I'm not worried about him coming or not, I was wondering if there was really something we'd missed.

It wouldn't help, how would we know if the manual was serious?

All you northern nancies who are thinking of giving it a miss, consider this; in 2010 I finished work at 6pm, got on my already loaded bike and rode from Bedford to mid-Wales to get ratar5ed in the bar, then spend the night comatose in the main compartment of Shelly's tent, followed by a ride home early the next afternoon. This was inbetween two kidney operations.

Man the f*** up, the lot of you.

^^^ This.
I went to last years after work, 120 mile motorway blast to Essex, vaguely 'knowing' 2 people there and that's it! Had a great time, met some great people and got some fantastic memories from that weekend.
The GM has been woken up since the early part of this year and has become a very active riding group. We have a group ride out at least once a week, and even on a cold November day we had a group of 15 out for a blast!
The only cost you'll incur personally on the weekend is fuel to get there, fuel to get around and then food and drink. It's a bargain of a weekend in one of the best biking locations in the South.
