Yeah I'd been checking that, was looking doubtful yesterday with 20-30mm of rain but its all but dissipated now. Awesome as I'd have been gutted to not go.
http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/...code=congleton metcheck has a more detailed guesstimate, shows it being OK most of the day.

Looking forward, gonna give my bike some attention today so make sure its presentable for tomorrow. (or at the very least, noticable that its blue ) Must remember to clear my card for taking pics too, I think it will be quite a picturesque day.

ooh cool, look forward to seeing them, just been putting together my kit of camera goodies, taking my macro lens aswell just incase I see anything.
Takes a good portrait too. Even packing my tripod so I can look like the complete photo nerd (wanna try some longer exposures)

Sorted my bike out, glad I'm last (and I don't have any epileptics behind me) my second set of indicators didn't have the resistor so its gonna be a bit blinky tomorrow. the seller is sending out some but won't be here till tuesday.

its now clean (by my standards at least)
has had the chain tensioned, cleaned and oiled,
tyre pressures checked and rectified.
oil checked, should be good to go for tomorrow.

you could get a resistor from J and S tomoz at end of ride

I picked up a replacement today from HG but it doesn't seem to work right, so will return them and await the ones from the Oxford kit, I don't mind being a bit flashy for the weekend

I have had a major set back today & I'm hoping to get it rectified by the run. I have been for a run today & stopped at a pub for a drink. I came to start it & the battery is flat. I have just got back thanks to my race bike battery & help from my son.
I can feel the heat on the side panel where the regulator is, I have one, but off the newer model, so need to have a shufty at it. I am doing it in the morning as I've had a bit of a long day
I am hoping that it is this & I will see everybody in the morning.

I've got that (currently superfluous) curvy sat in my yard if you need me to take a bit off and bring it over early doors I can do so (you will have to explain which part though as I'm unsure off the top of my head)
