Hi Alastair newbie bloke,

The procedure is that you pay yer dosh £3O for the weekend's accommodation which includes bed linen and towels. Turn up on the Friday evening sometime and buy me lots of beer. Ride out on Saturday and Sunday in great weather with a great bunch of tossers (LOL) and generally have a great weekend. PM me for my address if you're interested - you'll have a great weekend and will meet some great people.

Cheers,

Joe

I'm really interested but a little concerned that I might hold up the group. Only passed my test a year ago, done about 3k miles since and still learning. Saying that I'm hoping to get many more miles under my belt this summer.

Don't worry Bobajob, we accommodate all levels of ability on our rideouts. If you come along, you'll soon find somebody you're comfortable to ride with (insert 900 owner joke here please rolleyes.gif). We decide all routes in advance so you can mark them on a map or enter them in a sat nav and go at your own pace. We also agree meeting points along the route where we all meet up before going further and share mobile numbers in case someone goes AWOL. Go on, give it a go, if you want practice with bends, there's no better place than Scotland good.gif

A wee lesson on the weather up here...................................remember your translation book tongue.gif

The Weather Forecast

A hurricane's blootered Dunoon!
Ilkie reeftap blew aff o the toon!
They flew past Big Ben at a quarter tae ten,
Wi a wife in an auld flannel goon!

A moonsoon's brocht chaos tae Ayr.
A doonpish at a fitbaa match there,
Washed the goalie, the baa, and the players anna
Like wee boaties, awa tae Turlair.

A blizzard as coorse as a vice,
His turned hauf o Lumphanan tae ice.
Ye can skyte throw the shire, like a penguin on fire,
An reach Russia, withoot blinkin twice.

An earthquake his shook Aiberdeen.
Marischal College is noo in the Green.
Three quarters o Torry fell doon Rubislaw Quarry,
And Northfield his flitted tae Skene.

A heatwave his frizzled Braemar.
Aa the towrists hae meltit like tar.
The troot in the burn, hae bin fried tae a turn,
There's fish suppers frae Dess tae Cromar.

The weather cock jetted tae Spain.
Says he'll nae be returnin again.
This terrible weather has broken each feather
And frozen the frills o his caimb.

Snaa, smirr, on-dings mochy an oorie
We thole, forbyes drucht hett an stoorie
Sae, gin ye ging oot, takk yer waukin buits stoot
Yer wellies, bikini, an toorie.
