    Will be up for something at the weekend, but not sure what. I need at least one day out of the BH weekend to sort out stuff at home, but still leaves two possibles.

    And a 'maybe' for an evening ride this week. Soggy Swinley perhaps :D.

    I'm out on Wednesday unless its raining too much, then I'll convert to the dark side and take the roadie out :twisted:

    Wednesday has potential as I may have the day off sorting out the boiler and other stuff. Weather looks pretty nasty for the evening though! Afternoon to evening could be okay with maybe the odd shower.

    Wales - Could do. Ideally if we've got enough to share cars. As usual I can take one person, or if someone has space I can get to them.

    If it's Cwmcarn I just need to get that full face ordered :D

    As I said to DK yesterday, not totally sure about Wales as I'm probably having house guests this weekend so bailing for a day would be a bit rude ;)

    Wednesday evening may be a goer depending on weather!

    Swinley is going to be swamplike anyway so rain or not you will end up soaked :)

    Had a good ride with Popstar yesterday on the new Beast, need a few adjustments but will be ready for some adventures this weekend.

    Afan sounds like a good bet, any takers?

    Think the day will be confirmed by Friday. As need to see clearer indication of what's the weather going to be like. Atm it's Sunday-Monday, whichever day will be drier.

    The mmmBop's looking fantastic, need the Ragley decals on the headtube though.

    Very tempted to get one from the CRC sale but can't afford to build it up, Unless...

    @Helter - very nice.
    @thel33ter - Unless... what. I worry when you start thinking.
    @Redmans - good chance there will be a ride at SH this weekend. Might be there Sunday. Keep an eye on here see if SH or Wales works.

    Light rain and showers for tomorrow afternoon round Swinley way, according to Metcheck. Still, as I've got the day off it would be a shame to waste it by not getting out somewhere.

    Wouldn't want to go to Afan tomorrow though!

    Metcheck shows sunny days Sat, Sun and Monday. Slight shower before lunch on Saturday but clear skies the rest of the time. Not much in it really. But forecasts are generally rubbish until 24 hours before, so anything could happen.

    Sunday will be best for me, busy Saturday and not sure about Monday yet.

    Carnival is Sunday and Monday. Biggest day is Monday but you can keep it going from Sunday morning.

    Afan not really on this weekend. Thel33ter is only being dropped off around 8 and probably picked up around 5 is, so taking off the best part of 6 hours travelling, that doesn't leave much riding time.

    It's also Dunsfold Wings & Wheels 29th and 30th. If you're out in Surrey Hills you'll should be able to see it from Pitch and Holmbury hills, if a little bit distant. The Vulcan is scheduled to attend which is always impressive.

    Hmm, Afan, airshow, carnival :?:

    Can pick me up early and mum doesn't mind picking me up late or having me dropped off.

    Plus the route from Woking goes through Bagshot.

    Sounds like Sunday, there isn't a specific meet time yet as far as I can tell.
