I'm pretty much certain I'll be there. But you never know what's around the corner...

I think we had 75 ish bikes on the rideout, some had pillions, some did not. Some people attended but didnt ride on the rideout.

I reckon it has to be around the 100 mark.

Its worth making the effort, they are always cracking weekends.

lol I was going to say the same until I saw your location.
Reason I probably won't is my navigation skills are absolutely awful, me let loose on my own trying to find something miles away is a recipe for disaster. Only way I'll end up coming is if some other penine massivers do that I can share the ride down with or possibly if my experiments with phones with satnav and gaffa tape are a success.

None. The AR rideout is much more social so its run at a slower pace and it never covers a huge distance. Also every junction is marked so theres no need to rush for fear of getting left behind which also keeps the speed down to.

I'm sure someone from your area will be going and you can tag along with them. If your experiments work out, you could even lead the rest of the massive down.

Maybe, maybe not, depends if I can still afford to go Switzerland, if I can't I'll be there. On a bike, just not sure what bike.

All are welcome, regardless of type of bike and experience of riding. Its more of a social event than a ride now.
