Wheely · Expert

I'm pretty sure I'll be there as really enjoyed it last year. Only concern is week after is Exmoor and GFs birthday in the middle of it all! Any other DTRFer going on the Kads day??

Hi Bosshog

Can you explain the format for the day. Is it sessions like last year?? I have noticed that the starting time is later than last time and that the costs have gone up quite significantly (from £55 to £70 for me and the boy). Would be nice to know we were getting at least the same amount of riding time - or hopefully a little longer. Is it still going to be sessions?? If so how many will be run?

I do still hope to be there as there arent many places you can ride with the young-un. Just need to make sure we're going to get enough good riding time for our cash & journey up there.

cheers

#discount to trf members ????????? sorry guys . we have 2/300 riders attend the 'home' events . we do not get anywhere nearthis at the Minehead event but love coming down to Bratton.so in fact the club loses money by running in that area. if/when these events get the numbers they deserve then we can look at doing something for the trf and local clubs/charities..

BOSSHOG · Novice

we put 11am on the advertising as most off the kids/adults are not ready until then anyway ?????

BOSSHOG · Novice

the surcharge applies to any booking that doesnt register and pay the online deposit.

Wheely · Expert

Thanks for the clarification and thanks for leaving me a detailed voicemail of the days event. I think you've made up my mind and I will attend this. And you Re right this is more riding time than last year. Can u clarify what the surcharge is if I don't book in advance and also what's the latest I can book in order not to get this surcharge. Thanks and see you in a week. Hope the sun gods are as kind to us this year as they were last.

A couple of familiar faces at 00.50. Big grins on the V Twin Funster and Wheely. The video is a good advert. I was going to work in the garage, but now all I want to do is ride my bike.
