Talking of vans, will you be providing the recovery service for the WWHo! this year? I like to book my place early.

Oh no! That means I may have to ride all the way to the hotel and home again.ajscomboman wrote:And what makes you think I was referring to your good self, guilt? No it wasn't you.

Mike, you don't need to defend yourself. I hope I will still be able to ride when I'm 82. Remember this? Your last WWHo! ride in 2012. You come into view at 5.06 minutes, having just overtaken me. Oh the shame of it, being passed by an oap who was stoically riding with a broken ankle.MikeM. wrote:The last International I rode to was in 2004 when I was a mere 68, since then I have trailered to all the Jampots I have attended and camped (try carrying a five man tent on your carrier), I have though ridden to several Alternatives as a day visitor since then and a couple of times have covered up to 200 miles which included the Saturday run during the day. After a lot of thought and maths I have decided not to do this year's International due to the total cost of the event being more than £1000 for the three day event. However I hope to be at the HoE Jampot and go as a day visitor to the East Berks Alternative.

A lot of people remember me more for the time I filled the Greeves petrol tank up with diesel in the small hours of the morning when riding it in the Westward Ho! A certain Bob Piper distracted me as I was picking up the fuel hose😤

I know. That was the year I melted Vesta's electrics.

I know. That was the year I fell off (again) and later melted Vesta's electrics.
