The boiler was OK, the challenge was figuring out how to swap over the empty gas cylinder, then get rid of the air lock! At least you had hot water last year Paul, I recall the gas ran out before you had your shower the year before.

Thanks for sorting the tea Stu, sorry I don't drink the stuff, so have no idea what's good and what isn't. I did take some fairy and cloths last year, think the packaging for the fairy threw people - not expecting it to be in a visor spray bottle with duck tape around the outside Smile

Apologies for not being organised, in my defence I had one day between getting back from the Alps and heading off for BC.

What was it we needed to get for Helmet Dave, Paul? Was it tomato sauce?

Word of advice for people staying in the cabin, under NO circumstances must you listen to me when I say " I know a short cut back from the pub"

**YZFJohn** Mon Jan 20 2014, 19:43

Steve, no bodies having a dig at you, your organisation is always appreciated.

**littlecat** Mon Jan 20 2014, 19:48

I know John, thanks, but I did fluff on the tea and coffee a bit Laughing

Cath, on paper it is full, but maybe if someone is happy to sleep where MrFrance bunked down then there will be place for you and Owen.

just exploring options steve, waiting to hear back from the b&b we used last year, otherwise will be looking for a bed lol

you can't do it all yourself Steve. You did a great job of looking after us anyways lol. Takes us all to pitch in to make it perfect. Lets us know if you need anything. Plenty of time to organise too

Cheers

Ive been having words already to my good friend who hasnt let me down on the last two BC rides and also TOL last year. So hopefully.

**YZFJohn** Tue Jan 21 2014, 18:46

Steak and Chips for breakfast on rideout day sounds good to me. Goes down well in Florida for breakfast. Lol

You heard back Cath?

**littlecat** Wed Jan 29 2014, 07:28

yes, we're booked into the old time again so sorted thanks Smile

It's end of April already Rolling Eyes

will be sending the balance owed off to Foxholes in a week or so.
Could I ask those who have paid the deposit to please send me the balance (£30), thanks.

A reminder of what you'll need to bring. Sheets or a sleeping bag and a pillow case. There are duvet fillers and pillows but that's it. Also towel and toiletries.
Bedding can be hired from the office if you prefer.

I'm trying something different this year, instead of doing a shop at the Co-Op (thanks team gravel rash for helping last year) will use Tesco.com and have it delivered. I'm pretty sure there's something flawed in my logic of thinking it'll make life easier.

Who's keen on the taxi idea? I'll look into it and see what size vehicles they have. What time would folk want to have it?

**Snowcat** Thu Apr 24 2014, 12:22

Tesco.com and taxis fine by me, I'll get your money off to you for Mike and me later pal, sure I still have your details somewhere.

**YZFJohn** Thu Apr 24 2014, 13:09

Tesco & Taxi OK with me.

May need recovery truck as well with the way my years going.

**Snowcat** Thu Apr 24 2014, 13:18

Balance paid for Mike and me

Cheers Steve

**SteveCat** Thu Apr 24 2014, 13:51

Many Thanks Steve

Propably Both!!!

Currently trying to fix Fuel Pump now after having done this year; dodgy electrics, battery, tyres, screen, rear wheel bearings, headstock bearings, endcan (my fault - cut Viper too short and is now too loud for most tracks, 103Db with Db killer) and I know it didn't need it but it was a bargain - did a conversion to 2012 rear shock.

Still can't find a right-side panel to replace the damaged one. LMAO

**SteveCat** Mon Apr 28 2014, 14:09

Balance of money owed to Foxholes has been sent off today.

Will look into taxi's on Friday and Saturday night, if anyone would prefer to walk up the hill or possibly take a short cut and get lost, let me know - otherwise I'll aim at accommodating everyone - head back around 11pm?

**mrfrance** Mon Apr 28 2014, 14:12

Hi Steve, sorry will sort out the cash to you now for the accommodation. I'm happy to walk back through that short cut in the field Very Happy

I'm sure Alex and Dave will too... don't know about Alex's dad though, I'll drop him a text.

**SteveCat** Mon Apr 28 2014, 15:26

Thanks Paul, if you don't mind also asking what's his name otherwise I'll carry on calling him AlleyDad Wink

Will hold off on the taxi enquiries then till we have an idea of who would like to follow Team Gravel Rash through the ~~undergrowth~~ field. I did last year and we got back without getting lost.

I don't mind walking or Taxi, 11pm might be a little early for some though Steve. I don't mind short cuts as long as not with Kev & Chris as we were clearly lost last year Wink

LOST??? we got back eventually didn't we? hahaha

**prime** Sun May 04 2014, 21:47

It was a pleasant walk in the countryside as far as im concerned ; )

**SteveCat** Wed May 07 2014, 22:29

I take it the consensus is to walk back at whatever time and route suits, ordinarily I'd do the same. Pam is joining me this year and she won't be able to cope with the hill climb, so I'll be arranging a taxi to take us and 1 other back, if anyone would prefer to taxi it back please let me know, either in this forum or via PM.
