    +1 and it'd be really good to see some new faces, so if you're thinking of coming and have never met any of us before, please don't be scared, come along and buy me a pint! :wink:

    Absolutely!

    And despite the obligatory pint for Il Principe (which won't last long - he'll be pissed as a fart after 2 or 3 :P ), we are a friendly bunch. Don't be afraid! Join us! Resistance is futile!

    Is anyone getting there before 12? I can be there before 10am-12pm But most likely have to leave 12 - 12.30 sharpish!

    Yep i'll be there early, I need to set a better RP 3 lap time which frankly won't be hard.

    Probably a no from me, Skindread on saturday means spending Friday with my wife-men and digging out my ripped unwashed and unironed jeans, my converse or timberlands, my spiked belt and possibly my Dragonball Z black t-shirt.... oh and my red hot chilli peper bandana!

    Incidetally I listened to some of their stuff, I thought they were cool.

    Well thank y'all, in that case I will do my best to make it.
    However, I may be on the Antique Racer in case any scary Londoners steal my bike while I'm concentrating on remembering new names/faces and drinking :lol:

    I'm afraid I'm ducking out too. I'm having one of those tired irritable-bint-phases where I won't be good company if I'm wrested away from home at an early hour and put in front of lots of new people at once.

    I'm quite sociable most of the time but sometimes I know I just won't want to be away from home and my own company. Sorry all :(

    Erm, I'm out, if I was ever in - can't remember now. My wife's arranged something for Saturday lunchtime. I may, however, make it down to Richmond Park for a few morning laps so might see some of you down there - I'll wear the shirt from my avatar so you can recognise me. Will have to try and make it to the Morpeth one night instead.

    I'm IN, if that reassures anyone.

    Having said that, a friend is arriving from LA Saturday afternoon so I'll probably have to be away by 4.

    Just to bring the thread back on track I'M STILL COMING!

    As long as the weather stays nice ;-)

    Looking forward to this as it's only my second time @ RP and I can't wait to get some more laps under my belt!

    Hold it in Bristol?

    Just being pulled in several different directions and need a non-hectic weekend. Seriously, I wouldn't be good company (and no comment about the bum). I daresay I'd be well up for it another time.
