Glencoe Massacre rideout spam, dates poll:
 

Summer's coming, apparently, so that means I have to run another rideout :rolleyes: Dizzyblonde will shout at me if I don't. So, here is the dates poll for the 2009 Glencoe Massacre

The exact location isn't yet set in stone- while we do have the option of running out of the same campsite/hotel/wigwam/b&b setup of last year I'm hoping to find somewhere to improve on that already high standard. So, I can't yet tell you exactly where we'll be, but the campsite should be within an hour or so of Glasgow or Edinburgh, so it'll be within one day's ride of most of England.

The format will be the same as last year, meaning there'll be one long rideout on the saturday, and there should also be a second rideout on the sunday. The saturday ride will be designed to be accessible to all- It'll not just be a short roll around the block, as there's no point in riding all the way to Scotland to do a quick run after lunch, but at the same time the route will be one that anyone can ride, perhaps with more difficult sections as alternative loops like we did last year.

Last year's was a huge success, or so I'm told ;) This year will be better!

So, before we can finalise anything else we need to know when it's actually going to be. We're down to one of three weekends in June, so, vote away

Maybe a field without slopes/rocks/bogs for camping in? :-P Heeehee just kidding, not fussed really :-D

Bring on the Massacre, looking forward to it already!

The most important bit is that June is NOT midge season :mrgreen: It's also drier than august in scotland, though the nice days are less nice.

I love midges, I'm disappointed that we're going to miss them.
