Can confirm me and Rick.

Let's just say, that certain individuals have seriously curtailed their alcohol consumption since the last do

Aha, that means that we just might see them in DAYLIGHT!

Had a great night last night at the Shepherds Rest. Mixture of Sidecar Club, Guzzi Club,and Mid Ulster Bikers Forum. The guy who organised it used to live in Cardiff and knows Onepot and 002.
Recced the route for the run today, there's even an optional green lane section. Finished with a couple of laps of the Cookstown circuit. The roads are marked out, the bales are up, and and there's a real buzz already. Just hope we get similar weather next weekend 
On friday evening, if anybody's up for it, we'll take a run over for a mooch around the race paddock.
Also, Slims Cafe is only open until 7pm, but there is a chip shop a mile outside Draperstown in Straw, if you need grub.

Doing a great job getting it sorted Tim, have you arranged for Guy Martin to come over for a cup of tea and a chat.

So update. There is practice and four races on this Friday, from noon till 9.30 pm. On Saturday, the full race card has fifteen races! All the best.

[Mark]

All packed and ready to leave, at least I'll have one day of sun.

So that's it over. Another cracking weekend with fellow thumpeteers  We were small in number, but quality is better than quantity 
Dry run up on Friday for everyone. Rain all night, then blue skies, sunshine, and dry roads all day Saturday for the rideout, and racing. Third do we've run at the Shepherds Rest, and hospitality was first class as always. Steve D from Holmfirth and Rick from Southampton  have been to all three
Some of the lads are off to the highlands of Scotland now. I hope they've brought their snow shovels

Just arrived home from a great weekend away. Big thanks to Tim and Alison for organising such an enjoyable weekend. 1st time at this site and I was well impressed. The weather was kind to us, racing was great and the company wasn't too bad either! stayed at the Hotel Rosslare last night and first impressions from the exterior I was a little worried but it turned out to be a cracking hotel, would certainly stay there agin next time I visit Ireland. Thanks again T&A, safe journey to the rest of the guys where ever you are heading.
