All rain has been cancelled for the end of May. There will only be sunshine. If you want rain, you will have to bring your own.

Nothing wrong with rain. 5 million irish people can't be wrong. Anyway, it's good for you, puts hairs on your chest.

Just watched the nw200. Are we allowed to go that fast?

 

 

10 days to go......

Whats rain!!!

If we can get the Guzzis to go that fast then I think it should be ok

Leaving all our rain here in Manchester this year, and crossing my fingers for a nice week next week as me and Lou are off to Scotland for a tour before heading over.

 

Guzzi now back in one piece. Having been treated to new fork internals and a new rear shock from Maxtons.

You only need to bring towels, toiletries, some and a

Bedding is provided.

[belfastguzzi]

What do you need to bring?

 

A motorbike.

 

Bedding is provided.

Bring towels and toiletries; and some food for breakfast and snacks (or buy it locally) as the hostel is self-catering.

 

It could be an idea to bring some € Euros for a trip across the border to Donegal.

 

Saturday may be short rides around some of the North Coast attractions and sights

– Giant's Causeway, Carrick a Rede ropeway, Torr Head, Bushmills Distillery (will need to book), Downhill

– The Portrush Raft Race will be on, so it would be sensible to avoid that popular seaside resort.

Sunday: a longer ride to Donegal, taking the Magilligan - Greencastle ferry to Inishowen

– 15 min £5/€7.50 single (£7.50 return) -

to the spectacular Malin headland: Ireland's most northerly point.

There is also a seasonal Buncrana - Rathmullan ferry that could extend the westerly scope of the run, but I don't think that it starts until mid-June.

Damn I wish we were coming too!
