Hi All. Here is a date for your diaries. There will definitely be a Thumper weekend at the http://shepherdsrestpub.com/ and campsite in the heart of the Sperrins over 24-26th April 2015. I have just had the date of the Cookstown 100 roadraces confirmed as Saturday 25th April, and reckoned it would be a good idea to combine the two.
We will probably also have a ride-out on the Saturday for those who don't fancy the road racing. We will also use Slim's Café in Draperstown.
So no excuses as you've plenty of notice this time

Cheers, Tim

That's great, look forward to seeing u. Have been thinking, we could watch the Road Racing on the Saturday, and have a ride-out on the Sunday, in other words, stay Sunday night too.
Look forward to giving Steve D 59 bumps

Hi Chaps.

This sure sounds like an interesting weekend to go on. Can anybody tell me roughly how much the ferry from England would be?

Thanks for any help.

£160 return from Liverpool, you would be better off going from Wales or Scotland.

Thanks Mark

This weekend sounds too good to miss so hopefully I would like to come along if you'll have me.

The more the merrier. I would like to aim for 30-50 thumpeteers

For ferry, we always use Nutt Travel 028 7035 1199. Price should be around 90 quid return for a bike and rider. Never had any problem with them, they are a local firm that specialises in travel to motor sport events and bike travel.

Hey Tommy, all I've gotta do is to stay up drinking and if you drink like the some of the other Irish lads (no names mentioned!

) there'll be no chance of bumps!

tommy · « **Reply #12 on:** December 23, 2014, 11:36:24 PM »

think I will get some drinking training in over next few weeks ha

Hey Tommy, if you know any other like minded chaps, make sure and invite them, as it would be great to get a good irish crowd to the wknd. Me, Tony, and Dec went to the RE rally near Clonmel earlier this year, and they were all a great bunch of RE, MZ, Jawa guys.
