Gotta wait until mid Sept...

Don't have to wait unless you want to.

Read in a petrolhead mag ther other day that the cops are either doing it or thinking about making repeat drivers with 'reg on hold' cars having to surrender their plates.
They were worried that they might not get their black plates back when they rereged.

Must be lovely down there for a ride nowadays.

I'll be in for CCC loop, Mc Donalds roads will be fine on the way home too.

**Peeteey** · 15th July 2011, 00:55

I'm keen, so long as I can find a) some fuel hose to hook up my big tank b) my big tank c) new bearings (I think) for the back wheel ...
Anyone good at changing bearings and keen to show a newbie how?

I will have to try and convince my boss to let me start really really early on Saturday so that I can do my 9 hours and still make it to the ride.

Is there a map of the CCC ride? If I could be picked up somewhere along the way instead of having to ride all the way into town that would be handy.

If you trawl through the threads mentioned in cooneyr's post you may find a map, I'm not sure of that though.
Generally the route starts with a SHW1 ride up to Gretta Valley so it may be convenient for you to pick up with us somewhere like Amberley.

I guess 15 to 20 minutes after our Belfast departure time.

Do it man, it'll be fun!
I'm getting my more road orientated rear wheel fixed at the mo so will be all set, will also finish off the front tyre on the road probably, it's been needing a new tyre up there anyhoo so may as well finish it off in style

Map of the route below. Culverden back may be different as previously mentioned.

Re timing - knowing how things go we probably won't leave the Peg till 9.45, meaning about 10.15 though Amberly.

was wondering weather (see what I have done there) to take the Prado in comfort or take the KLR for my own ChCh adventure ride this morning - but then bugger it all old bill has told us to "stay off the roads" so I had to go out and play in the snow with the rug rats - two eldest loved it - youngest is not so keen (read massive melt down) about a foot of the white stuff here

- might go for a play on the bike later
