I'm sure it'll be fine on the day. Probably not actually fine, but fine, if you know what I mean. unsure.gif

Sorry - not being negative, just nervous after all the anticipation.

although i still want to, i wont be able to make this meet now, sad.gif i haven't ridden my bike since my fall 4 weeks ago my shoulder still has limited movement and i don't think a 350 mile round trip would be a good idea when i can't even manage the 24 mile round trip to work. unsure.gif

maybe next time. cool.gif

You're right. Giving weather for Monday now.

Was hoping to bring the TDM Saturday but with the weather forcast getting worse and the bike having 230 mile before it's next service, me and the misses are going out in a bit to explore the A1101.
