John, will be there fri onwards, bringing the kona,a 89 stumpy and hopefully a muddyfox courier comp.
Are us back up riders[ joe& myself] officially allowed to ride should we be needed, or do we have to dress up like either James/Neil/Russ or Gus.
Also is anyone riding modern at all :?:

 

[john]

Heathy,

Glad you can make it.....

Not sure on the backup front. If we can get another two riders together maybe we should look into getting another entry from somewhere ???

[gump]

another entry would be cool, though not that I need it in the elite team

:?

Anyway...

I will be riding new and old, depending on conditions and my biorythms..
2005 Yeti ASR-SL (main race bike)
2000 Rocky Vertex Sc (is this old or new? I class as new, but built with an old school flavour, and backup/main race bike depending on how sore my arse is :shock: )
1996 Rocky Altitude (er, another race bike)
1991 Ellison or
1997 Fat Buckshaver (old schooled up)

depending on room in car too.. :?



oh, probs there Fri, but staying back home and deffo there Sat/Sun (unless it rains)

 

[Joe]

I'm not going to be able to make it

Boys,

Mrs Wu and I will be there Thursday afternoon onwards. Probably leave later on Sunday.

Will be riding the Merlin I'm afraid. Might have a go at the Mrs' DeKerf as it looks older than mine (but only pre-dates it by 18 months), but can't face riding my '93 Rockhopper comp I'm afraid - 2 miles a day to the station are enough.

John - regarding help holding fort at the stand on the Friday Mrs Wu and I will be more than happy to take some shifts. Presume it'd make sense to have at least two at a time and for a few hour spells at a time.

Are we all camping together as it were? And if so, close to the stand? Or is that just going to be a noise nightmare at 4am?

 

[Augustus]

Should've said...

will need someone to bring a ghetto blaster (as mine is more of a grotto blaster) in order that I can leave the tent for each lap to the music from Rocky (an integral part of my psycing out the opposition).

(this may be a joke).

:roll:

 

[tintin40]

I'll be there in sprit but not in body/bike :cry:

 

[mrkawasaki]

Stuff and nonsense

I plan to race a couple of pre-91 e-stays and an FSR for when it all gets too painful - if you need a show bike (and I don't think you will...) I'll bring the Buck Shaver garage queen... Don't bother with the ghetto blasters - I have some DJ equipment which, married to the jenny, will pump up the volume... wannabeedeejays - dontcha just hate 'em...!
