My RT doesn't normally see the light of day until 1st April and I try to avoid the wet. I'm available any day of the week, how about you.

That looks spot on with plenty of good parking.

Weekends only these days!

This time last year I worked 4 days a week and had loads of time off but a change in job position means I now work Monday to Friday

How about you suggest a date, Sunday is probably best for the other regular NM attendees.

I know another GS rider who would be up for that.

Now we have a destination and some attendees, weather permitting, how about a date of Sunday 2nd April.

Would you like to propose another date. Last year, I did tax my RT in March, BST begins on Sunday 26th March.

Looking at my diary we have some dates in for racing at tonfanau and olivers mount on the 9th and 16th so the only other date I could commit to is the 23rd

Howdo fellow Simians. It's been a while but any plans for the Northern Monkey 'Hardnuts' this year. Happy to do Peak District or Lincolnshire Wolds (Willingham Woods) if there's any interest or maybe Milky Bar Sherburn in Elmet for the Yorkshire Wolds. Selby or Wetherby also options for start points. Currently have a Honda (thinking about a VStrom), but don't mind riding with BMW's when necessary. Should I get my coat? 8-)
