The Lost Souls of Retro©™ (10 Man Team)

[misteroo]

Retro-Spud, I did all this last year for the West Midlands team.

My advice; take some blank forms and be prepared to bin the whole thing as people ride faster / slower, have terrible hangovers, miss each other at the changeover, take a shower when they are needed (yes, I did ) and any number of other unforeseen situations. :mrgreen:

Good luck with it, you will be up against The Severn Bores, who will be doing their best to have a great laugh and fun weekend.... and we might end up riding our bikes... a bit.

Oi.....what's this? A bit of team mind games???.....lol

Your probably right though...... :?

I suppose it's good to have some sort running order, even if it's for the first two!....that gives us at least two hours to find the third!!!!

Have you got a logo yet?

Whys there a K at the beginning of my name ?,K=king perhaps

King Nobby

I guess it does have a certain regal ring to it

No mind games, as we don't actually intend to compete... ride, yes, compete, nah, we'll leave that to the RAF, Army and Hope teams.

A running order is good, as it does give a slight idea when people need to be changed and ready, but be prepared for the whole thing to go sideways, especially at night. :facepalm:

You have got your logos sorted haven't you? And flags, you simply must have flags.

Dude don't mind when I ride did three laps last year it's also my fault we finished below Raleigh (met daj & co on the track and decided to go for the photo finish)as I've said before probably not a good idea riding at night/very early because I'll probably be quite drunk
Cheers

Spence, you were a total hero last year for doing that last lap, it was much appreciated by me and the pulled muscle in my left leg.

 

[spencer13]

No worries
Just seen the schedule lap 4 looks good & should have sobered up in time for laps 19/20

Lap 4 & Lap 17 for me.

I would like a night lap too or instead of lap 17 as I have a decent set of lights I'm keen to use.

Hi All

I've been forced to have a little bit of a re-jig in order to get what I think is a fair and even compromise

Mr Cosmic, you had two night rides, I've had to compromise and give you a dusk and Night ride.... however I think if anything your projected start time will slip backwards during the day and perhaps you may still get your back 2 back night rides.

LMTTM. You've got a nightride as requested (hoped for), but your compromise is your second ride is not until Sunday morning

Spence, since you offered to be the rear gunner on Sunday I've put you there, but in return you do get your 1st choice

Feetabix, You only asked for one ride however if this team of fine and upstanding (mainly sober) dudes pull a blinder would you do the last lap ??... if not do we have any volenteers


Should any of you have any thoughts/concerns please let me know, however as NeilM points out the best laid plans will probably go west at some point, and below is perhaps a nieve snap shot of utopic dream
