I can do TEC

White multistrada, white helmet, dayglow - should be easy to spot and not too easy to confuse :)

So it seems we have 2 rideout leaders (SteveT & RH) and Tec (Glider65)

No problems , between the 3 of them they can come up with a plan .

Thanks for helping out .

Dubber the roads involved don't allow for much speed. Apart from main road in and out of ullapool, the route is slow and steady.

Van van will take it in its stride.

RH has handed the reins of this ride to me.

Those that are intending to follow me on Saturday please keep an ear open for the briefing on the Saturday morning - it will be part of Austins general brief - I'll just ID myself (dead easy to spot - Fed lookkyy likey :woohoo: ) and declare the start time for this ride.

Safe journey north to all attending

Aye, didnt want to fight over hand bags at dawn... and I believe there may be a requirement for a TEC on another route. So I shall avail myself to LWR on Friday and see what help is needed.

Still at work though......
