Just means I'm £100 down before I start this month, so can't justify a £70+ weekend away. I reckon petrol will be about £50 based on 10p a mile.
Just can't afford it now, gutted, was looking forward to meeting some new faces.
As red says.... next time.
That's what credit cards are for... or at least, that's what mine is going to be for this weekend :|
I don't get paid until next week and there definitely isn't enough money for fuel in my account haha

Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - Red Ceri - 30-07-15
Just checked BBC weather page, looking good for Sunday,
Nick, one question clockwise or counter clockwise?????????
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - Dead Eye - 30-07-15
Nick said we are going counter clock-wise so heading West from Oxford towards Cirencester I believe

That's for future Dead Eye to deal with
Mind you, I'm still blaming past Dead Eye for my current credit bills... what a dick

Youre such an Ass midden
Does this mean you are attending?
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - nick crisp - 30-07-15
A40 still closed at Gloucester. The diversion is easy enough to follow, but long-winded and takes a while.
Route will be done anti-clockwise. As I mentioned, I think it best to do the twisty B road bit while everyone is still fresh.

A40 closed gloucester......oh bollocks!....there goes my simple to remember route consisting of just following the A40
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - nick crisp - 30-07-15
Not much in the way of alternatives unfortunately, unless you motorway it.
Just allow some extra time to get around it - the diversion takes you on a mini tour of (all the worst parts :lol ) of Gloucester before dumping you back on the A40 after the roadworks (bridge repair or summat).

Sounds good Noggy.
If you want to come back on the M4 that's fine with me. I'll get off at J33 or 34.
