Think you've stuck your hand up. ;D As I said happy to help/recce routes but can't do whole job in case I can't make it through work. Would be a disaster If I organised a run and couldn't attend.  |

Sounds good! Any secure parking for pedal bikes? Seriously; it's good cycling country up there. I quite fancy a wee jaunt up there by train with the bicycle. Cycle off the hangover by day while the rest of you go tearing around the countryside on those god forsaken motorbike things ;D . Will have to leave the decision until nearer the time in case I get a better job offer in the meantime. And was that a pig I just saw flying past my window  ....... |

Aviemore sounds good to me. Couple of hours up the A9 from Edinburgh or any number of scenic routes to get there.

I am guessing that this will be the bank holiday at the end of May?
Any more details available yet before I make me mind up?
Cheers,

Cheers, Simon Simon, yes the end of May is the usual date for the Jock soiree. Runs usually take place on the Saturday and the Sunday, most folks travel up on the Friday and home on the Monday. Run details usually not posted till the spring when the organiser has finally worked out the routes, usually between 130 and 200 miles, the shorter one on the Saturday. If past Jock runs are anything to go by, they'll be on cracking roads with breathtaking scenery, get booked now! * Hth, Trev. **makes up for putting up with sweaties for the weekend |

I was told that the planning for the IOM TT is usually 1 year in advance, I was also told [1] that when you get older, 1 year can pass very quickly [1] - Thanks Trev |

Your right you have to book the ferry for the TT at least 12months in advance including the digs if you want to be in Douglas. I booked again for next year while I was over for this yrs races.

You found me out n4naked.........  (although this thread was started on 1st June for the end of next May!) Well, it is 'abroad' and the objective was to include Porcaro in a summer break or holiday trip, not just a week-end and head home tea-time sunday..........  But you're right, if booking in advance is required then the earlier the better. Although Scotland must have become a very distant destination it seems. Much further away than when I last visited. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Aviemore is 500 miles from my house, compared to Porcaro being 351 miles away . (Maybe Softy Southerners should get a Fuel Allowance ? ) |

(Maybe Softy Southerners should get a Fuel Allowance ? ) It ain't just how far away Scotland is, its the length of the blerdy place! If you come at it from the left hand side of England it is over 200 miles from the start of Scotland to Aviemore, and thats still a long way from the pointy bit at the top. I know which country I'd rather ride 200 miles in though |
