Gutted to be missing this - was hoping to be able to drive down and say hello, but the weekend has now been filled with other commitments. Enjoy yourself everyone - ride safe and have a blast....hope the weather gets back to its normal ways by then.

Looking at the long-range forcast it's not too promising at the moment. They're forecasting these sort of temperatures until the end of April - something to do with the strength of this high pressure region sitting over us and the strong easterly wind (from Russia).

If the weather's not conducive to motorcycling, who fancies just driving up in the cars and have a drunken weekend in the hotel as a plan b? :)

Thankfully it's not snowed again here, although the low temps mean it's taking ages to melt, I'm hopeful it'll be mostly melted by the Welsh Weekend :)
