Looks like nice weather tomorrow but report says severe rain today? Might be a repeat of the Yorkshire Dales ride - nice and sunny but wet/boggy underfoot/wheel?
Retrobike National Series Rd 5: Tweed Valley ~ AFTERMATH pg7
- Thread starter drystonepaul
- Start date
Theres good drainage for most of the route so hopefully just some big puddles 
I think there was only a couple of bits that will suffer and even then that was after weeks of rain. We're on the high ground for the most part.

Best start getting ready for this. Will be bringing some retrobike swag, if anybody wants anything in particular drop me a PM. Hopefully I can sell 30 pairs of socks to pay for fuel
Heading up later, weather looks grand. Think every event since the Downs has had a severe rain warning for the Met Office. At least it looks dry tomorrow though.
Will of course have a load of stuff from our sponsors Bikefood too

Oh, any idea what time we'll be finishing? Assume Innerleithen is a fairly small place? Could do with finding a florist given Saturday is our wedding anniversary, don't think another bunch of carnations from the Esso will cut it this year when I arrive back at 11pm.

About to leave
Hi guys
Just finishing packing and hopefully should be on the road around 4 for the 313 mile drive :shock: route planner says 6 1/2 hours but that doesnt take into account the old VW cruising at 50 - 55, so it will be a late arrival for me tonight, probably just crash in the van in a layby somewhere if its too late.
Hope I put the old van back together properly and hopefully the postie has my temp sensor otherwise I will just have to disconnect the wiring so I dont see the warning light, Whats the worse that could happen? :roll:
Not a great week, I ordered the spokes for the new wheels for the Surly on monday with next day delivery only to still be waiting, so its still on V's.
Looking forward to it.
Jamie
