Meanie's Excellent Adventure (22 February)

[sarahtvet]

Sounds like a great ride Meanie and I would love to do this aloong with Mrs V8 on the rear end however I will be head down ass up trying to complete a course so I can get that elusive promotion which means more money.....

For some reason I have sorted my priortities hence you lot haven't seen me of late... Have no fear though, you might just be suprised on a friday ride some time soon. I hate hate being sensible all of the time..

Doesn't sound like you got priorities right somehow I expect to see you and the Mrs out asap after I get back otherwise I will think the drunken behaviour put you off associating with us

This loop should be great, we shall no doubt tell you all about it and you will have to take it in another time.

What a trip to look forward to when I get back

[Meanie]

Cowboyz is mapping out the route for me so all going well we will have it posted tomorrow

Hey Chanceyy, you could always fill one of Meanie's panniers up with fuel and drain that when ya need some, either that or syphon some outta Cowboyz tank when he's not looking....

[Meanie]

Anyone needing to fill up earlier will be able to
Just need to be aware of where we break for lunch etc and treat gas stops for what they are Gas stops and keep them to a minimum. That means no waiting in a que for lattes
Might have a get together and go over some of the finer details like where we need to stop etc, Maybe after a friday night ride
