Chimay - who's crossing when?

Something like this you mean?

And?

I'm on holiday and that holiday includes going to Chimay.

TBH, if it's pissing with rain then the racing will be even more
entertaining and the only thing it'll **** up a bit will be the usual
burning of meat on a fire.

 

And northing. Just reacting to something ginge said

Indeed. Unless you have a very big fuckoff fire with it's own atmosphere

 

I'm in a similar position, panniers are packed and I just went and
filled the bike up.. I'm pondering getting another bottle of meths
from B&Q for the stove though.. you can never have too many
combustibles, right?

I reckon I'll hit the road about 3 and be on a 6-7 pm train..

 

That looks like it'll fizzle out in by the evening.. so Chimay it is.

 

I'll phone when we get off the train so you can have the beers ready.

 

I've sent the baggage train on ahead. There's a gazebo and tarps on board.

 

Gutted I can't afford it this year......

<Mumble Grumble Grumble>

 

Sir wants a shite old BMW. I've filled both panniers and the top box
with all the camping stuff (1) that I don't want to unload at the
hotel and all I need to do now is shove clothes for the week into my
tankbag and a tailpack and I'm done.

We've packed two small camping stools that usually end up being used
by whoever sits on them first (2) and I'm sure there'll be a beer
crate or two floating around that can be used as seats by the less
discerning.

We're relying on those of you going straight to Chimay (3) to stake
out the ukrm enclave in preparation for the late comers and bribes
might be handed out to try and persuade someone to grab some beers and
a bottle of wine for myself and Adie in case we spend too much time
fucking about in Germany.

Think carefully for a minute and then consider if you think I'd stop
in a hotel that didn't have a bar within a few yards of it.



(1) Obviously the tent and airbed didn't fit in a pannier so they're
being strapped to the pillion seat.

(2) Adie might disagree if the ground's wet and she wants to sit down.

(3) We decided to visit the cemetery where my uncle resides before the
racing rather than do a massive detour before heading south
afterwards.

 

So having a couple of weeks in and around Nice, Monaco & St Tropez left
you a bit light did it? My heart bleeds for you...

 

We'll probably be stopping at a French supermarket on Saturday morning:
place your order now.

 

Thanks for the offer but it's only really booze for Friday night we
might need someone to grab for us.

 

Ah, of course: you're a day ahead of us.

 

Heh..... just a touch..... !

 

Check your phone thing.

 

A memory like Elly's ?

Eek

ITYF that's my line.
