I'm sure CaptF could forgo his preference for solo riding and join us for this?

well run and a great occasion for a couple of hours

last year I was too rough for roughleys

 

looking forward to this years now

I shall mark it in my calendar (:

I don't know of anything that'll get in the way at present. I live a lot closer to there too now [moved down to Longsight]

we normally get there about 11 and go for a coffee in Tesco's. lots of peeps just buy their pressy there and hand it in to the toy wagon on site. saves stuffing your jacket front with pressies.

dress up the bike and santa outfit optional, although you will stand out without one on.

You mean I have to look Christmassy?

I may stick a small santa hat on the front of the bike (:

Now we're taking it too far.

Let's just say, my motto over the Christmas period is "Bah, minty flavoured boiled sweets" (:

wait to you see those kids at the rainbow trust, waiting for the bikers to arrive, then you won't be like that

still not done one of these yet, keep meaning too every year but something always seem to get in the way, it does look like fun and for a good course. hopefully this year fingers crossed.   

here's an old one of me and and paul tommy.

that was a hot day, think Paul Brownie (OT) went to that one too as he was complaining of overheating the engine. mine was vapour locking

 

shame that the Sally army one was cancelled due to the Police

I'm definitely up for this. Trying to convince some people who aren't on here to come too.

Hailing from Leicestershire, so will be setting out at 7:30 to get there on time. But totally worth it to make the Christmas of some of those who are less fortunate.

See you guys there!

wow, that's mighty good of you.

There are toy runs up and down the country, but if your up for a ride out, your welcome to join us.

 

it normally only takes a few hours along normal roads, and due to the amount of traffic a cyclist kept up with us.

If I were to go to another one, I wouldn't get to meet you Drewpy... That, and I haven't had a proper run out on the bike yet. Maximum I've sat on it is an hour, so I think 3-3.5 hours would be a decent time to really get to know the bike.

I work for Rutland County Council, and have informed them of the event and asked for present donations. With staff totalling 500, I am hoping to be bringing panniers full of gifts

My bike's not happy with me. I'm making it wear silly [cheap] reindeer antlers for the occasion.
