2010-03-13/14 - Carry on Camping

Tommy's out, and I suspect Max may drop out if he's broken himself...

Tricitybendix I would think, like TSK, that people won't mind coughing up even if they don't use their slot. Any extra cash then to be spent on cake/beer/LSD.

That's what I had thought. It was a pittance amount, no point having it back.

Anyway, news email just went to almost 11,000 people. I'm betting on a full campsite.

and I suspect Max may drop out if he's broken himself...

I don't know how quickly I'll heal but I am determined to come, even if it cripples me further.

Awesome. Cheers David.

Ooh, and Bikely is being uncharacteristically co-operative, so here's the route:

Haha.

Positive Mental Attitude... Was it not Wayne Campbell who said "If you book them, they will come"

You booked...and you aint!
Wayne Campbell had obviously never met anyone from LFGSS.

What he should have said is that if you try to herd cats they'll try to bite your leg off because they're all scum.

What? you mean we don't get to dress up as landed gentry? Oh noes.

Apparently Charco is out too.

yea we allerm, got really important things to do, nothing to do with wanting to watch the rugby and being incredibly lazy, anyway, another spot up for grabs if anyone wants it.

wow, this is actually setting a new dropout record.
Might have something to do with the weather too though.
Cm'on guys, you'll all warm up riding!

People are just wimps.

I don't get it. An organised ride to pretty much the best campsite in the UK, which is now fully booked every weekend till October, and we can't even GIVE places away.

Anyway, I am well excited about my new sleeping bag.

Am i missing some kind of joke here now?
Watching the rugby and being lazy? seriously?
For future reference...if you're the kind of person that is gonna drop out of something that people have taken time to organize...that they've given up weekends for to ride the route several times to make it as nice as possible for people...that they've spent time and money on...all just because you're too lazy, or want to watch TV, or would rather go snowboarding or wherever else...don't bother putting your name down in the first place!

It's actually becoming a joke now and it's going to be fucking embarrassing to turn up to a campsite that is practically fully booked throughout the whole summer, having told them that we'd be booking the whole site...only to turn up with less than half of the people we should be.
I don't want to come across as a dick here but try seeing it from my point of view.
It's not like when you don't turn up to a Bridges ride or something here....we booked a whole campsite!

I'd like to thank in advance the people who do make it. Your company will be even more appreciated.

Scott, double portions of all things BBQ for you my friend!

Scott, these Batman comics are excellent...

The ones we are going, we will make it, we'll enjoy, we'll remember it.
Will be the ones who were meant to be.
Keep it up Rosie & Scott,

I got fed up with those Bikely downtimes last year and switched to bikemap.net. I haven't tried the LFGSS-embeddable RideWithGPS yet, partly as I don't ride with GPS, but it also seems to be a good site.

I wish I could come on this ride.
I had wanted to come early on, but the places quickly filled up.
Had I anticipated the high dropout rate, I would not have promised the better half to see her that weekend.
The pull out rate is shocking!
Again I wish I was coming- some of my favorite forumengers to ride with are on it.

and max.

Dick

Wish you could come too dude. Can't you rearrange girlfriend time??

Oh Henry, come on, you can do it. (even if Max is there)

He can do it. He can!
