Well as the feeling seems to be NAH! Please disregard this thread and carry on with the massive amount of riding you all seem to be doing!

EDIT: of course tonyk, FG1, and Sandman will still be welcome!

Apologies Sir Trev, just read back through the thread and realized all the nay sayers are from Essex, In light of this I apologise for my ignorance and once again extend the invitation!

Cheeky scamp.

So far this year I've taken a bike to France, Belgium and Wales at least twice each, Cumbria and Spain once each, Cadwell Park twice, Brands Hatch once, and have Oulton Park, Brands (again) and Silverstone booked in for the next four weeks. 9000 miles on the SMT, another thousand or so on the gixer, plus track time.

Finding anyone else in the TVSF prepared to join me, now that's another matter. But Guildford? Pah. I'd rather stay in bed.

Never ridden to Guildford so don't have an opinion on it but I can't imagine it's too exciting, but next time your to deploy on a mini adventure let the GM know I'm willing to bet you'd have takers for almost any trip, as for miles covered just under 1500 this month and I've been home every night, exept for the Bodmin trip, would love to bimble off round Europe cutting my own shapes but unfortunately I work for a bunch of *******s!

Missed a bit..... so far this year, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Cornwall, Warwick and Norfolk.

Last year I did France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Liechtenstein (plus Luxembourg, Italy and San Marino in the car) so this year feels like I haven't really got out much in comparison.

Very, very judicious use of weekends, bank holidays and annual leave. The trips to France and Belgium are usually weekend raids - evening crossing to Calais, then spend the weekend somewhere.

I'm all out of leave now til the end of the year, so am having to do trackdays at weekends, and that's just a matter of funding.

Oh, and there's the non-riding bike-related trips. A day on trials bikes earlier in the year, and Weston beach race in a couple of weeks. Game on!
