Yay ... oop north AND in Wales.
Venue looks great, too.
Many thanks to all the organisers ... past and present for that matter.
Tenner paypal'd.

Also, I had a ponder about rideouts .....
Last year we used the drop off system and it seemed to work well.
It does benefit greatly though if the tail guy is highly visible, as we discovered.
To this end, I will be ordering a decent quality, close fitting, stretchy, breathable, high viz vest.
I might even be able to get Rick to print the club logo on it.

Not that I'm volunteering to be tail end Charlie this time.
I did that for every run last time and it does rather spoil the ride .. which is absolutely fine on occasion but not so great when its for every ride.
But I'm happy to take a share.
And the reflective vest (in size med/large) will be available for anyone else to use.

It was the mention of a close fitting, stretchy, breathable, high viz vest that clinched it for me.

And also stating "I don't mind being tail-end Charlie but not on every ride"

As it says in the Bible -" it is better to give than receive."

Looking forward to May Jeff.

Nice one, Chris.
Its actually quite a pleasant job in many ways ... just a bit of a drag when its on every run.

Last year I borrowed an orange hi viz vest, but that one was really only intended for pedestrian use and as a consequence, the front fastening constantly came undone in the wind blast when riding.
After much fumbling, I eventually resorted to tying the front together, but it still caught the wind badly.
Also, being made of "solid" material, it got rather hot wearing it in the sun.
Hence the plan for a stretchy, close fitting, breathable one.
I'll still go ahead and get one because it will probably come in handy on other rides in the future.
Dunno whether yours is as described above, Chris, but mine will be there to borrow if needed.

Thanks, Duncan.
Yes, it will probably be either theirs or the Rev'it Athos Air.
I'll see what I can eyeball at the local emporia and then possibly choose the one which will best take a print of the club logo.
Erring towards the Rev'it at the moment.

I know a man at Oxford Products, if the club and members were interested I suspect I could could get a deal on some club branded ones, similar to the ones the old MOB used to sell and the one I have.

I've got one of the old MOB high viz vests which could be used...

It's never been worn, didn't match the colour of my eyes...
