No we went the A5 all the way home...don't ask that monkey! Doesn't know what he is on about half the time!

Oi.....I meant we did the majority of it.....I'm not a monkey.....give us a banana.

All sounds brilliant and I`m glad there`s renewed interest, is good of the raft centre to give us a discount. Barbeque and ride sounds good

I've now got to decide whether to get new rubber on my bike before or after our trip. Will be pushing the stock to beyond 7000 if I do. So not sure. But if I change, then will be doing a lot of miles on that sunday 2 up and with new tyres......what people think?

7000 out of tyres?

You're not trying hard enough

Seriously though, if you're worried, get new tyres and try to scrub them in a bit before that weekend.

Drew Carey · 04-04-08, 05:16 PM

Have spoken to the cheque book (lily) decided gonna get them the week before so that I have a week of commuting to work to scrub them in.....yeah. Current milage is 5500, so in three weeks will be just over 6000 miles.....so would rather just change them I think, especially what with going 2 up a lot.

So what time is the rafting starting? I want to know just how early i'm going to have to get up on the Sunday morning

We also may have to change our meet point with Drew and Lilly.

If it's going to be an early, early start, Quatt won't be open. If that's the case, we'll make it the petrol station at Shrewsbury, as we know you can get a coffee and have a pee (without needing to do it out in the open, Drew!)Would that work for you?
