The Fridays Tour

[rb58]

Sounds like I'd better make some confirmation calls tomorrow. And pack a bag - although having done the last 4 days with the smallest of small rack bags, it shouldn't take long!

Apparently it's Glenbank at Jedburgh - who, when I rang, said that they have two double rooms. One of which has gone to Simon and Susie, the other of which should be ours.

have no fears - you are in Room 1

I've only (re)confirmed two of my bookings, but I'm sure I'll be fine. Mild panic tomorrow, possibly, as I've not yet packed and need to get tough casual shoes cos I'm not used to 'proper' countryside roads . User10571, you'll be missed. I just assumed you'd be there. Thinking of staying overnight in Ed on the Wednesday and train back on the Thursday as I'm unlikely to go to Scotland again

This is really exciting, already I have stood in awe and witnessed with my own eyes The Beautiful Tandem in Dellzeqq Towers. Not to mention the fantastic colour-coded luggage label system. And to do this I had only to negotiate a bit of the South Circular on a Galaxy with 35 kilos of luggage in the London Rush Hour.

Er, I don't lkke to raise this subject so early in the tour, but are we going on roads a bit quieter than that? At all?

I'm overcome with jealousy.

Good luck and have fun all~!

Ta, Wanda - unfortunately other stuff prevails... I hope you all have a fab ride and adventure
EDIT: I know you will.

None of my bookings reconfirmed- I've never done that at any hotel ever. Worst case sleeping in the van Probably ring around just in case...(I assume I'm somewhere on the Glenbank list...).

Viner's been into the LBS today- they gave it the once-over the other day, chain & rear tyre both on their last legs, so got them done just in case. Will pick it up tomorrow. Have the day off tomorrow, shame the forecast's so bad down here, could have got some more miles in. Packing won't take long. Will probably head up to the smoke 7-8 ish, drop the bag off at Chez DZ in plenty of time. Are there any plans for a pre-ride meetup?

Simon, could we have a final roll-call? Been a while since a list has been up.

Why not? Pretty sure you'll want to go back after this- we're not visiting Fort William, or Glencoe, or Inverness, to name but three lovely bits....

 

[slowmotion]

Wishing all you Friday people a wonderful trip.
Have fun.

 

[redfalo]

Is this ride coming up soon?

I don't think so. It's more than 23 hours until it's going to start.

In particular, how many are in this from start to finish?
