Seeing as there are going to be so many of us, do we need a proper signaling system at junctions? Just imagine if we left Midden somewhere.........

What do you reckon to this...

tail end charlie wears a hi vis or something similar and stays at the back.

At every junction the person who's currently in 2nd place stops at the junction to show the rest of the pack where to go.

Once the person with the bib passes, said waiting person leaves the junction and overtakes the bib wearer making the bib wearer last again

repeat until we get lost........

thoughts.......

Splendid idea! As long as the bib wearer isn't a Splitter or takes bib off *for a laugh* we should be fine

OK people we've got less than a week to go so we need to get a few more details in place..... firstly... while I'm sure the power of the Fazer will powerful enough for us all to gravitate towards each other in Saffron Waldon... WHERE IN SAFFRON WALDON SHALL WE MEET?

Does anyone know the town or shall we just meet here? I thought Tesco would be good because we can all fill up.
TESCO
Radwinter Road Saffron Walden Essex CB10 2JP

Secondly, can you please private message me your mobile numbers so I can do a list of contacts for the day. I'll get them all together and print them off, along with a copy of that route even though I know it's very subject to change it will at least give people an idea of the area should they get lost (Midden).

Thirdly, who actually knows this area and would like to lead us all out? I'm happy to be the tail end charlie and wear the fetching bib for the junction drop off system.

Anymore for anymore??????

Sorry but I will have to pull out of this ride out. All available finance has become a sofa for me to rest my tiered hard working body. That is after wife's instruction

Dead Eye · « **Reply #166 on:** 26 March 2015, 02:11:26 pm »

All in all the weather isn't looking particularly great this weekend

I'll be hanging on until the morning to figure out exactly how bad it is going to be. Off on Saturday morning to get the bike cleaned and ACF treated

red98 · « **Reply #167 on:** 26 March 2015, 07:13:28 pm »

Chucking it down this morning as I left for work so couldn't be arsed to put the trailer in the back of the pick up so the fazer is spending another night at work

....trailers now in the back of the pick up so I can bring the old girl home tomorrow, still didn't want to start when I tryed lunchtime and no fuel pump ticking so iam still thinking ignition switch....hoping I can fix it in time for sunday.......NOGGY, thanks for the offer matey...CHRISTO, how much commission is DEEFER paying you

.....HARRY, if I dont see you sunday I'll catch up with you another time

eddie · « **Reply #168 on:** 26 March 2015, 07:21:46 pm »

Right you lot so is it deffo saffron Walden Tescos 11:00..if so may just find my way there as it's only half hour away from ome

HarryHornby · « **Reply #169 on:** 26 March 2015, 08:23:49 pm »

Yes Eddie, weather permitting and if any of us can actually find the tescos we'll be there!!!!! :-)

If it's some rain for the day I'll still go, if it's chucking it down I think we postpone.

HarryHornby · « **Reply #170 on:** 27 March 2015, 06:34:17 am »

I reckon we will be ok on Sunday, especially in the morning/early afternoon. Sittingbourne gives rain from about 4pm but saffron is showing sun and cloud all day. As the week has gone on the weather has become more favourable so fingers crossed.

Is everyone ok with the plan?

11.00 Saffron Waldon Tesco

For the local(ish) lads is that a sensible meeting place?

If you decide on the day that you're not up for it, please text me or Dazza so we don't end up waiting.

I'll PM everyone my number later today.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #171 on:** 27 March 2015, 09:55:18 am »

All sounds good to me and great work in trying to organise everything Harry

eddie · « **Reply #172 on:** 27 March 2015, 09:06:10 pm »

If val and I are not there at 11:00 please don't wait for us.

Kosmic Kartman · « **Reply #173 on:** 28 March 2015, 10:00:17 am »

Gonna have to duck out of this as I've come down with some sort of virus bug man flu. Feel and look like shite so probably not a good idea to go nutting about on bikes.

If by tomorrow I make a miraculous recovery I will be there but I very much doubt it.

stevie-g1968 · « **Reply #174 on:** 28 March 2015, 03:58:54 pm »

woss goin on...I go away for a couple of days and people start dropping like flies

so paul, any joy?.....bri, are you still going? punkstig, are you?
