As you may have noticed - Ray has - I've been very quiet over this.
Work, as normal, can and will stuff things up where appropriate, as this should have been on my long weekend, the timetable change in May now the Saturday has a 10 hour Saturday. Grrrrrr....
I've booked the Saturday as leave, but I have no guarantee at the mo.
There's also my back. I'm not happy with how it feels and don't know that a long ride that far would be good for it. It's really not good in the morning at the mo, taking me about an hour to ease it out of bed some mornings. Once I've taken something for the pain and had a coffee, eased it back into life it's ok, just getting to that point is not good.
I do have a back up plan, and a very nice camping bed. Now I know at least one car is going....I have train times for there and back and while work can get in the way, it also means I can get the train there for the price of a tank of petrol! (Remember the 09 tank is bigger...
)And back for another tank... It's gonna take around 6 1/2 hours by train but at least I can walk around, stretch etc. So if I get the day off, me and Jahel can stand, sit etc together!
It's a watch this space at the mo. If I wake up on the Friday and it's ok, I'll ride. If not, then Bristol Temples Meads, here I come.
I'll let you know - I'll know by next Tuesday pm where I'm off.
06 America - missing, presumed in bits. With it's TBS wheel... 
09 America - It's very blue....
