I was already down in (it's not Margate as much as that leaps to mind) Maidstone staying with a good friend of mine. I won two tickets from Bikersweb on Thursday & they arranged to have them on the gate. I didn't know anyone else who was going except Jenner, so I sent her a text & had her collect the tickets in my name, as she was getting there earlierzedleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05138325408050463655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450086.post-785680352002-07-04T17:53:00.000-07:002002-07-04T17:53:08.076-07:00Pissed & Confused MCC Midsummer Rally
White Hart, Little Waltham
A more lack of work meant more time to pack, but having more stuff & less space made this more difficult than previously. Greg arrived on the dreaded white ZZR at 15:00, but with packing & bungie-ing and poking things in the tank bag, we didn't leave till after 16:00. A couple of testing seatings later, we headed off for the BP zedleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05138325408050463655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450086.post-756634252002-04-21T16:04:00.000-07:002002-05-07T05:50:44.000-07:00Celtic Warriors MCC 9th Birthday Bash
Woodgreen Animal Shelter, Cambridge.
Having no work at all meant I had all day to pack. So I didn't, cos having all day means 'ah, sometime soon'. I was mostly packed when Jesus arrived to deposit Tory & help/hinder her load up the CBR4. She bought it from me last week, so she decided to come along to the CW as it was somewhere to go.

I'd got back from my grand tour of yurp at about midnight on the Thursday night. The plan had been to come back from yurp and go straight to the Ogri from the ferry port, but luckily it failed. I left the huge panniers and top-box on & carried mostly the same stuff. But not so many maps of furrien places and no phrase books.

Miserable failure to get out of work early, so left at 17:30 and went zzzoomm back home. Rang Si, and he agreed to come round to collect the pickup keys. Grabbed some scoff, and hauled stuff out in an attempt to pack while dinner cooked. Big Chris, Tory and Greg all turned up a few minutes early, so we nearly weren't late leaving.

I had the day off friday, despite deep misgivings from my boss. The Bill-bloke is on holiday, touring randomly round the U.S. , so the guv'nor was on his own, with nobody there who knew how to do actual stuff. I assured him I would have my mobile with me at all times, and the handsfree earpiece in when riding.
