I have finally got my bike straight from rolling around the Pyrenees on it (not on its wheels) and Ive blown the carb out. It wouldnt start - could well be the stinking blue fuel still in there....
Anyway, assuming I can get it running....Ill be there.!

You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Yeh, I noticed that when my goggles actually froze up so I had to take them off halfway down the motorway. Wow, that's how to wake up in the morning, 60mph, -2, no goggles on. Surprised I didn't loose my eyeballs.

However, the Plain was amazing, puddles were covered in thick ice, but the MT ploughed through. The mud was frozen which managed to catch my mate out three times and down he went, but I couldn't get the camera out quick enough ;)

Matt (Mr Fox) was leading our run and managed to loose myself and a mate after the first lane, good job I brought my maps.

Probably aim to do it again next year, though may do my own route....
