It's not a closed shop chap, you can play catch-up anytime, book a ferry, tell her indoors, buy a tent, and get your stomach ready for quite a lot of scoops and your in.

Agreed. An RTT would not be complete without Marky Mark turning up out of the blue somewhere in Europe
With that bloody great big Marquee...

Yes - taking the 900 - probably its last major outing. It has a bit of cam chain rattle at the moment - I may risk it - or I may try fettling with the tensioner and guides just to see if it will tighten up a bit.

TD here - just had a curry with furrycomfybum and we been nattering about routes
can do the usual route planning in the evening, but dont fink we'll have time on the ferry as its an 11pm sailing
our ferry gets into Le Harve at 0800, so we will already be fueled up with breaky and ready to rock the moment we hit French soil
so should get a decent full days riding in, i doubt we'll get much past Dijon but this looks like a decent route
what say ye folk?
