Late Summer Ball - Lower Lode 14th / 15th September

[becker]

Hope to make it - not sure what I'll ride yet - might be ZRX

[markgb]

Hi Guys sorry not going to make this one hope you all have a good time and hope to see you all soon

[becker]

So roughly how many are going? weather on Sunday looks an absolute shocker - rain and gales

don't mind a bit of rain and getting wet - decided to ride to work on Monday – Oxford to Birmingham and back – bloody weather tested my water proofs – suit was ok, but looks like I might need some new boots – tell-tale sign is when you get off, put you foot down and water squeezes between your toes inside your boot!!

.... but packing a tent in wind and rain is one of my pet hates

[Padders]

Not going to make this now we have a batch of new Merc units just arrived that need to be on the road early next week.

Have a good time all.

Soon as i pacify the wife , hopefully looking at aroumd 1500 is this late or early ?

[coldsummer]

My intention was to pop up late lunch time ish or thereabouts as I have to be in Gloucester for about 3.30. Unless of course nobody will be there then.....?

[becker]

Was going to try to have lunch there around 2ish - if I can drag my ass out of bed early enough to sort stuff out.

Then need to pop back to Gloucester for 3:30 - and no, I'm NOT meeting Coldsummer need to pick my youngest and drop her at her home - should be back at Lode by 5ish.

Hi PJ

When I've booked the TAXI

[zedrider]

its a tad wet here at the moment the forecast looks better for tomorrow . I aim to be there about lunch time .

[becker]

Not long back from the Lower Lode - was another good night at the beer festival - lots of great banter with all who turned up lots of the usual suspects, plus a few new faces I'd not met before.

A good selection of bikes there in the evening - hopefully someone has some photos? PJ's Harris looked great in the flesh.

Sam and her team did a great job of hosting and provided a quality breakfast this morning for those brave enough to stay over and face todays weather on the ride home hope you all got back safe and not to wet.

I managed to escape the worst of the storm - once I left Gloucester there was no more rain and the further east I rode the dryer the roads got - after about half-way to Oxford the roads where completely dry

Looking forward to the next one in the spring but I really need to get a bigger tent - I'm too old to for my cramped "wind sock" of a tent

What Becker says and more great time just kept ahead of the rain but the bloody wind me and all big thanxs to Sam again and already booked for next May
