You'll be fine mate. Just wear body armour. If you drop it, pick it up again and carry on.

It isn't, but the rally is in North Wales.

Yeah, that's kind of my main worry. I'm doing all the riding I can (coz I don't 'arf enjoy it ;) ) and I'll take it slowly on the way up there. If anyone else is going from the South West, maybe I can tag along? Not that I want to slow you all down! I'm in Yeovil.

P.S. Any other advice for a newbie?[/quote]

Yes please John I'll do that, we can meet at Bridgwater or something depending on which way you come. Let's arrange it nearer the time.

I'll probably bring food too, and a bottle of rum :D . I'm a young fart in comparison (28) but with only a month's riding experience :o . I'll be putting some miles on the clock before the event though. (Or should I say kilometres? :lol: )
