So....it's was that time again......a gathering of a certain group of the usual misfits and weirdos for a ride out to Maroc...along with some new ones. It was to start on a Friday before the weekend.
The first two would arrive at my house with a van and and their motos from Scotland and another would arrive on his moto from Jersey.....I know.....he can't help it.
The next, a French rider, was asked to arrive the next morning at 0900hrs from my next village.
In true Scot fashion they arrived with beer and we had to dander up to the pizza shop after they arrived to stuff our boliers. A couple of pints whilst waiting for the order then some wine didn't really assist to any great degree once we thought about it the next day.
Upon our arrival back at my house, the Scot from Jersey.....he'd arrived too..... 40 bottles of beer later and off to bed at 0330hrs....that's handy we all thought.
Bertin, the French rider arrived promptly the next morning to get us up citing surprisal that we'd been on a late bender before we were to ride all day to Valladolid in Spain......I know...we just couldn't help it.
We leave over Col du Poutalet bound for our hostel that I've booked.....we'll be later due to leaving not at 0900hrs but at 1100hrs......baaaa.
Of course after 30mins the first goat incident occurs resulting in riders breaking off to return to my house to bring their money and passport that they'd forgotten......baaaaaaa.

We have a great ride in good weather over the Pyrénées stopping for a fatboy special at Mc Donalds in Huesca..............all at about 90kph......you don't have to lower your gearing to go to Maroc..........keep it as high so as you can ride plus 115kph all day....on an autoroute all through Spain

The others go to bed and I later greet the others upon their arrival......they were cold and tired after their delay. Up to bed and we'll hook up in the morning over breakfast.
Someone did ask me the next morning if a sachet they were holding was sugar or salt......blank stare ensued as described in Page One of the Invite under Tips and Tricks.......
Note to self....don't go an a 0330hrs bender then ride 680kms.....baaaaaaa
