Hello to all,

Well time is ticking on, the days are getting less and less until the big day. It's only 6 weeks and the bikes will be all packed up and ready to go.

It's been a long time in coming the excitement and nerves are getting to a point now that I just wish it was time to get on the bike and leave for Kiev. The first time we all met in Paul, Mary house up in Bingley seems like a very long time ago, everybody braved the cold damp weather for the first meet even those who came cars said it was rubbish weather. Not to worry once we get out towards Poland it should be considerably warmer than it is in good old Blighty, some will be wishing it was a bit cooler that wait at the Poland - Ukraine border can be a long one in the heat.

Nothing to do now except change some money at the travel agents and pack my stuff for the trip, one more ride out for us all to get the chance to ride in a group and perfect the system of covering long distances in a large group without getting lost or split up and to get some pitures for our sponsors.

Look forward to meeting up with you all on the 18 May at the M1 services Woodall (Northbound) at 0930.
