Woo Hoo! :smt026

Mrs Falcopops has signed the 7 day pass so I can go off with me mates (GS1200 riders (neither of them are Gio)) to the WSB at Monza :smt008

So a quick run through France then 3 days playing in the Alps, the race then bimble home.

I'm soooooooo excited.

Still plenty of time for something to screw it up though :smt013

So who are they?

Do they belong to http://www.bmbikes.org.uk at all?

7 Days eh. Dunno if you'll manage 3 days playing in the Alps tho unless you're just going to the race and leaving straight after. I found 1 days play in the Alps enough (its bloody tiring). Enjoy anyway :smt001

Its nothing to do with that, its the nature of the roads, millions of 180 degree bends and the road kills.

Precisely the reason for going! and three days will allow us to try a selection of different roads.

Dunno it they are members on the BM site, but will throw them the info.

7 days with a bunch of Gio-a-likes .... you'll need those "millions of 180 degree bends" as you're sure to be driven round them!

BTW keep your eyes open for those strategically-placed gravel escape-roads ..... you know they come in handy .....

(Lucky B@st@rd ... fancy a trip like that myself but really haven't got the courage to request the pass-out as I can imagine the reaction)

Three days playing on bendy roads is only just enough, sounds like a great trip :smt003

I too thought it would get the bums rush, but I was pleasantly surprised. You won't know if you don't ask.
