Just back at HQ after a conference with our builder, architect and Uncle Tom Cobbly ... looks like you're still sleeping it off John!

See you in the bar when you wake up - go on, you know it makes sense! :)

Off tomorrow riding the TET From Carcassonne with 6 riders, including John & Jayne Speight. Will be linking up with Simon on the HISS in La Pobla at Camping Collegats.
Bike is all packed and ready to meet 2 other CRF250L forming the "Red & White Trio" on the TET / HISS.

Have a good ride. See you at the campsite on Sunday night.

If any of you breakdown badly and need a van, I just MIGHT be able to help because I'll be driving from mine in Limousin, via Toulouse, via St Gaudens and Vielha to La Pobla. Some of that might be on or near to your route. I'll be driving down on Sunday 13th during the day (will have tools etc. on board). It would be a tight squeeze (I will already have 3 enduros on board) but theoretically I could rescue a stricken bike.

PM me for my mobile number if you want to keep it with you on your trip...

Those lovely CRF's seem to be de rigeur for the TET, we saw one yesterday at Sort, evidently totally lost by the way s/he was riding up and own the main drag. But neat, minimal luggage seems to be the business ... :)

Have a great trip chaps and chappesses! :)

Willy Spray!!!.......Great stuff!!!......You've been off the radar!!.........Good to see you've ditched that old heavy upside down Portugal BMW in favour of the Jap stuff for your ride outs these days...... :D

Enjoy your ride out on all of those free Spanish trails.


Looking forward as usual to your ride report and ride videos. Don't forget if you want to ride to Maroc again, this year, the invite is open...Ken too!!!.... :D


All the best.

:D

Last few jobs done so it's time to load the van and set off to Dover, see you all there in a few days all being well.

@ WillS, we are also travelling a relatively direct route down through France and could squeeze in a small bike like the CRF so if you have problems phone me, I'll PM you my mobile number. However it's a Honda so it should be fine :-)
