Route and times for Sat 16th

All things being equal, I shall be leaving the house at 6am in the morning. Wohoo!

Arrive in time for the 10am meet, finish the ride probably around 3pm, if I head straight back, that puts me home for about 7pm.

A full 13hour day. Sounds like fun!

Well dont rush and take care If come 8 o clock you look like you running late, text me and i can meet you on the route of the ride,(i will be setting off about then) so we can then meet others. Dont leave it till 2pm else it will be a lot of effort for just an afternoons ride

Nah, Pete & Lissa will probably come up trumps with the bulbs. So subject to the weather, if I can't get bulbs tonight I'll set off regardless in the morning, and just run the risk of no indicators on the back end. Go fast enough, and traffic behind you doesn't need to know what you're doing anyway!

I'll do my best to get hold of some bulbs, but if it doesn't happen, then I'll see what the weathers like. I'm currently sitting here thinking which of the kids toys I can shred to get bulbs...

The route I've got planned (A5 until I trip up over the A38 then south to Bassetts Pole) should take (according to AA Route Planner) 3h 30. Meeting time is 10am, and I'm planning on setting off 6am. 30mins to spare for fuel stops etc, and no doubt I'll be up before that anyway, Harry will make sure of that one. Last time I went on a ride anywhere I was late because he refused to let me out of the house until I'd explained the water cycle to him (he's 2 for frigs sake!!).

The storm that has just gone overhead can only be described as unbelievable.

It is almost pitch black dark outside.

It is now not looking good.

Hey Baph, bulbs purchased. Can you remember if the pins in your bulbs are opposite each other, or in a 'v'? We've got the ones with the pins opposite, as they were a quid.
