If an Almax Series IV isn't a big enough chain then we've got issues boy

Looking forward to this mate... So what's the head count this year.?
Friday hotel eta.?
Got any good bike security.? and
How's Bigyin fixed.?

Good work.

Thanks for asking mate.

Dad is showing progress at hospital so i am in for the weekend and will be riding down as normal on the Multistrada as i quite enjoy it.
As for security i will have a big lock and a disc lock in the top box just in case

In relation to fuel i see the gates will be locked all day at the event so i assume we wont be able to nip out at lunchtime to top up the fuel tanks on the road bikes so do we need to chip in for petrol to be brought along in weeksy's jerry can to share about or will we be able to nip out ??

I'll chuck some extra cans in the van just in case, so we'll have plenty and you definitely won't need to go out during the day, unless you want to

That covers that then, cheers

[Alan PBTD]

Hiya
If you want to nip out at lunchtime you can - between 12.30 and 1.30pm. Nearest petrol station is a mile and a half away.

Last day off today as training the next 2 days so had some time to sort out what i need

Leathers obviously instead of my usual textiles so had to dig out waterproofs i havent used in years. I always need a brew or 6 during the day so got my little camping gas stove out and the fold down chair which handily enough fits into the topbox along with some clothes for the weekend and the shorty screen (Tricky might want to try it for comparison as well on his big red couch).

2 locks for the bike, long one and disc lock

You lot with vans will have any tools i might need in addition to what i carry under the seat so apart from a couple bottles of water, a pot noodle for Saturday lunch and a sense of humour if it rains, what else have i missed as we have already covered fuel.

And yes i am looking forward to it

Take chocolate and energy bars. It's hard work and a pot noodle won't give you energy.

[weeksy]

We'll do a supermarket sweep when everyone arrives mate, it's 2 mins to the Morrisons. I'll have a cold box to keep things nice. We can even throw a post track cool down beer in there!

And you take the kink by pit lane exit (Woodlands) flat stick without shutting off

[Dodgy69]

We don't all need to take a pump n gauge. I'll bring the suncream .

[weeksy]

I'm just hoping to still be alive.

I was planning the Friday and either i sit at home from 9:15am-1pm or i jump in the van with the Whyte G160 and hit Afan Forest or Bike Park Wales for a 2-3 hour ride

SO obviously i'm taking the sensible option and thrashing the MTB down the side of a mountain.

[Dodgy69]

Mr Waze is telling me, 3.27 h and 133 miles, scenic route. ✔

Quickest 3.11 h and 142 miles, non scenic. ✖

Good work.

1. Me, Mrs Weeksy, Tricky, Mrs Tricky, Tomcat, You, Jazzy, Bigyin, GP, IanB, Doug (numbers are down due to PBTD running smaller groups due to Covid, along with people simply not booking for same reasons)
2. 4pm for me, about the same for GP.
3. You can stick bike in van overnight for the Fri, i'll bring a chain for the Sat if it helps.
4. Dunno, i'm sure he'll fill us in when he knows a bit more.

[weeksy]

Well, as long as Tricky brings the ZX6 and the key for it, i think i'm good to go.

I could do with giving the XSR900 wheels a bit of a wipe before loading up, but everything else is good to go !

Van being collected early doors tomorrow and hitting the road by 9:30-10am.

[G.P]

I'm pretty much ready to roll. We're picking up a van for mine, IanB's and Doug's bikes in the morning at 10.30

We will probably hit the road before 1.00pm and then hopefully settle into the beers mid- late afternoon. With no tolls on the bridge and passing through Cardiff before rush hour it should only take 2.00hrs - 2.20 to get there.
