Yes. Nice one.
thought Iād give this one a little bump as the day is getting a little closer now. In case anyone needed reminding or missed it.
Booked.
Thanks for organising an escape route from the Charlie the turd festival.
I have
Looking forward to it.
Reminded me to check my insurance, Iām covered which I thought I was but I remember a lot of chatter about a āgreen cardā do I need one of those?
Dunno what that is but for our Euro road-trip last year we needed bike insurance, v5, euro bike recovery, and travel insurance. We didnāt need an International Drivers Permit, but bought them anyhow to avoid bother as theyāre only a fiver. Obviously never got asked for them.
The breakdown cover, we paid for the PAYG option with RAC, i.e. cover for a specific trip as that was most cost effective (we get free UK breakdown with BMW). Bank provided travel insurance already so nothing to pay there.
Cheers Jay, insurance and breakdown all covered already. Bit of googling the Gov site recons Iām good and donāt need the IDP.
So bring on the chocolate and kwak!
Okay, last minute dot com. Iām booked and coming
Took their 12 quid offer of euro roadside recovery up. Nice and easy.
So Sat is looking good. Only issue, I am probably at best 70:30 to go.
My Dad is at end of life stage at a care home, palliative care. So thereās a chance he could pass away this week, which will likely mean my headās not good to be riding.
Suggestion is someone plans a route just in case am not there to lead.
Fingers crossed I will be, but worth planning in case I 'm not
BL
Sorry to hear that BL. All strength to you
Very trying times. Remember to look after yourself as well.
Sorry to hear about your father fella. Hope things go as well as can be expected.
Thanks for the heads-up.
So my Dad passed away last night. Will see how I feel Friday and post up.
But defo someone should prepare a route.
In fact, even if I go would be nice not to have to lead/stress.
Cheers for the supportive comments. I put as āNotMyKingā sign up in his room, as he was very much a republican to his dieing day
Iām very sorry for your loss BL. Take care of yourself.
Sorry to heae that mate. Yeah see how you feel on the day. Iām on the fence as itāll be my first ride of the year.
Sorry to hear that BL, look after yourself
Sorry for your loss mate. Hope we see you on Saturday all the same.
Oh mate, sorry to hear that! Hope to see you on the ride.
So any volunteers to plan the route? Iāve never been a ride leader and not sure id want to start with an overseas as a first.
Iāll do it. Iāll plan a route and be prepared to lead if necessary.
Feel for you mate. He did a good job on you.
