Hope so, that was my wishful thinking (hence not bailing). It's higherspeeds I need to work on I get a bit uncomfortable 70+ .

Normal leader? Binky's not leading it then?

And yes there will be different paces. Fast, very fast and supersonic.

if I do come, I need to find some serious confidence, some serious practise, and someone to leads me down there. My riding sucks right now, and I kinda getting fed up with holding people back, which isn't like me.....but since falling off I have left the balls part of my brain laying on the roadside somewhere The higher gearing on Dave(plus the lack of faith in the bike I fell off) just isn't inspiring my riding. NOT like me at all

Suzy hopefully has been fixed(again)

I think I just need someone to kick me in the head! Its like I said earlier, I just haven't got out like I usually do at this time of year, not like me to be off road for 2 weeks never mind 4 months. I seem to have reverted back to being a noob.....five years ago

If anyone wants leading over to the start in Ashbourne, I could do it from J28 of the M1 if that helps.
