You lot have just made my mind up...
Full on week of grafting to get a job ready for plaster, get the bikes ready in the evenings ( hopefully). Thursday night , bikes etc in the car . Friday ,knock off at lunch, spend a couple of hours with the kids , load the cool box , make the epic journey to MK (1 junction

, result , but an even bigger result on Sunday with my head up my arse!) should be at the holiday inn by mid/late afternoon

Let the carnage begin....

Well im off all week

mostly all sorted bike wise just other bits to get to make the weekend easier. Thursday get all the bikes im bringing out of the man cave (prob about 8-10 this year) give them a mini strip down and clean, gather together the hoard of stuff ive got to sell and work out the prices. Friday afternoon pick up hire van load with some stuff. Up fekking early Sat morning laod all the bikes in pick up Ryan (Rulin) them a mad drive down to MK trying not to trash the cargo

Cant wait first year im doing it kinda proper and staying at the track all weekend.

I've just been asked at work, if I'd be willing to give up my Thursday and Friday holiday this week, and work days, to demonstrate the new bar line to a new customer that could be interested in us making cereal bars for them. It could potentially be a very lucrative move for our company.

Er, that would be no.

Im already off work. I was due to go on holiday last weekend but we have recently got a puppy and a 6 hr trip with mental springer spaniel was not an experience I needed in my life.
My bikes ready, I run a bike shop so my bikes always ready.
The hunt is on for a cheap estate car so thats the main goal this week. Find a 2nd (or 3rd in this case) car big enough for bikes, dogs n family
Saturday morning, say my goodbyes and within an hour, say my hellos to yall and enjoy the weekend I've been looking forward to for ages!

Hopefully having a busy week at work will mean I'm not too easily distracted, but hard not to get excited about my favourite weekend of the year, can't wait

Couple of hours in & I'm already distracted

There's a double leaving do in London on Thursday night - decided going out on the lash the night before MK might not be the best idea

GOING TO BE THE LONGEST WEEK OF ALL TIME! $:-\$

Oh I dunno, Jono & Gaz seem to cope.

Oh, hang on.

I would recommend a baby in your life, you soon forget about what's coming up and how fast!

Not sorted anything yet, need to get into the shed this week and keep my fingers crossed one of them is rideable.

Until then, work...

I do have a baby in the house WINI, our new foster placement is a Mother and her 5 week old girl, she has been with us for a couple of months now.

Bloody tiring

Blinking heck, what a buzz!
It's the Monday before MK and I'm struggling to think of anything else.

Good luck with your preparation chaps, see you at the weekend.

Back into work today after a week away so bloody manic but have Friday and Monday booked off for bike prep and recovery respectively...

Friday will be a case of get the bikes down from the loft and get them sorted for the weekend. Then picked up Friday afternoon by hornetfanclub (with transit van) for trip to olney for a few pre mk beers and a curry... Should be rocking up at the track around 07.15 Saturday, dib dobs on a pitch in the helipad field!

Booked Friday off work, heading down on the train on Friday to MK at 11:30, land in MK at 2pm and meet up with Retrodan72 then ride to hotel. Few beers on the Friday and try and get a goodnights sleep in hotel for Saturdaya antics.

Just need to get bike ready in the week, needs a good clean after RadLeighs antics and brakes tightening. Camping on Saturday night so need to pack my rucksack and get kit sorted.

Never been MK so I don't know what to expect but sounds a top weekend from all the stories and pictures I've seen. Been on about 9 Rad rides so far so can't miss the Mecca of Radbmx!

Monday : meet Andy discuss MK and BMX
Tuesday : sort out the Haro for MK. Bob into Alan's.
Wednesday : clean all bikes for MK. Sort out all the shit I'm bringing with me.
Thursday : sort out my GHP for MK. Help Andy with a final build for MK.
Friday : load up all mine, Andy's and Paul's bikes .... Head down to MK!

Sounds like a perfect week!
