So what was the final verdict here then apart from Andy seems to think a big thwarting session is a good thing ... I mean did it happen is it to happen or not at all? 

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.

I doubt that I'll make it Jay - I will be back from China but the jet lag is not really compatible with riding. Last time I went to Japan I hoped to ride over to Mallory the day after I got back - and that's only just down the road - but was too lagged to even do that.
