Same here, but I would prefer the end of March.

Same here, but I would prefer the end of March.

That's what I figured - worth asking though...

I have no particular preferences or prior engagements at this distance, so I'm happy to go along with whichever weekend is free for others.

Cheers, Bob.

Frank, get in here and organise us please.

Wedding anniversaries? Bicycle races?!

Ye Gods and Little Fishes!

Okay, the story so far -

March 4/5 - Les's birthday. Much as we'd all like to take him out and get him... erm, relaxed the gent probably has other plans (contradict me if I'm wrong, Mr McLean!)
March 18/19 - Leon's wedding anniversary
April 1/2 - Ailsa's wedding anniversary (you know, a double ceremony would have saved a whole lot of inconvenience! )
April 8/9 - Ailsa wants to watch bicycles.
April 14/17 - Easter a.k.a "The hills are alive with the sound of tourists"
April 29/30 - I think it's Spring Bank Holiday weekend (tourists again!). Can someone confirm or deny?

So we're left with 11/12 March, 25/26 March, or 22/23 April.

And if we can't settle on one of those I'm going back to herding cats...!

How about 25/26 March? Les should have got over his hangover, Ailsa shouldn't have acquired one yet and we can feed Leon aspirin if necessary. March also has the advantage that dawn is traditionally held at a slightly more civilised hour...!

How about going to Amstel Gold instead @ easter Ailsa? Then you can ride the cyclosportive the day before :-)

[Dave Miller]

Can I second the 25/26 March? Don't worry about the journey Frank; just get us there.

[Dave Miller]

Just a thought, is that a quiet weekend; that's one without one of those band thingies disturbing the silence.

[Leon]

I'm going to have to be a complete pain and say the 11/12 march or the 29/30th april. But if that doesnt fit in with everyone else ... I'll bow out again and say I'll be there for autumn '06.

Egads! Sounds horrendous! Besides, it's so much more fun just to watch those finely tuned muscle machines - er, I mean elite athletes - than it is to attempt to emulate one.
