Why not, its great for experience? As long as its light and you can see whats coming? I find after I have ridden in the snow and ice, I ride a heck of a lot quicker in the rain than I first did.

Go on, make it soon. I'm going to really try to make this one. Didn't make any of your rides last year for a variety of reasons, sorry.

But either starting or ending at Red Lodge works OK for me. Don't mind any weather, apart from thick fog and sideways snow!!

I agree that it's great for experience, but when you go into a right hand bend and the bike goes left it's the kind'a experience that says you should of left the bike at home. Also when it does go wrong it costs a small fortune in repair bills.

How you manage to do that? Ice? I try no to ride like a dimlo on ice, mud? Too stiff, mud's not too bad as long as your loose and can ride it out without panicking?

It's not repair bills, it is the latest craze of modification. With all the missing bodywork I save 0.01 kg in weight.

As Mike cannot do the 1st or 8th of Feb we are left with:

15th Feb
22nd Feb
1st March
8th March

I personally can do any of those dates unless any driving lessons get in the way. What about everyone else?
