Haha, thanks both. Wasn't convinced I'd get the larger bung off without cutting it but persevered.

Taken my stand off today ready for powdercoating.

Did you guys remove the rubber bungs?

I know I'm very late to respond but I hope you all had a decent trip, I'm gutted I missed it.
I returned from a trip to the Pyrenees at the weekend, had to go as a pillion! Monday morning post arrives with my renewed licence after a long 9 months off the bike.
Hope to see you all on the next one.

Tim, myself and Orca The RT have booked to stay here on Thursday 29th May.

If anyone else ...

I believe that's where most folk are staying, with the next biggest continent a stone's throw away at Fourways. Very close by is a Wetherspoons and other watering holes. The Golden Fleece and Fourways seem perfectly situated amongst this bustling metropolis!

Hi David

I have just booked the Premier Inn at Alnwick, NE66 2PF on Thursday 29th and have changed my Thirsk reservation from the Fourways Guesthouse to The Old Oak Tree, South Kilvington, YO7 2NL. My awareness of UK geography outside of my local area is rubbish but The Old Oak Tree gets a 9.4 ...

Looking forward to this. Haven't ridden with another RT before and it's great to see the list of names stacking up so far.

Thanks, I expect I'll book accommodation next week. On the Thursday I'm working an early in Brighton and will leave straight from.there, hopefully around 2pm.at the latest. If you're already under way then I'll meet you at your stopping point for.the night.


Sullivj I've booked my accommodation ...

Just need to book a kennel/dog sitter for the dog now

I have also booked Fourways. Very reasonable price

Thanks for organising Dave.

Tim and I have booked rooms for Friday and Saturday at the Golden Fleece Hotel.

Looking forward to another 'DC TOUR'.

Orca the RT Tim and I will likely ride up on Thursday 29th May and stay somewhere en-route. You're very welcome to join us if you like.


Thanks, I ...

That would work out very well...I'm at the tail end of the A22 in Polegate

Sounds good. I've put it in my calendar. Will be riding up from Sussex if anyone else wants to join up.

There's a slim chance I could make it for the Ardennes stage.
Do you have accomodation in mind for 23rd/24th?

Love this idea!
I have my somfy door remote cable ties to handlebars...I thought I was pretty smart doing that but your install is next level. Bravo!

Thank you...they make it look so easy!

I managed it in the end getting my arm behind the panel and using a tea spoon to pry the velcro apart...after that the tabs came out easily.
