Reyt-pack September 2022 (Downhill vintage rigid race Yorkshire style)

Me and Peachy were talking of maybe May time as we need at least a chance of better weather and dry conditions

End of April or early May fits for me & @yakboy
We’re thinking a Saturday. 31st April, or 7th May.
Thoughts?

31st weekend is a no go as it's my 25th Wedding anniversary. Weekend after is OK though.

May works for me, but a date could be handy

I offered up the 31st of March or the 7th of May. Yakboy can't do the 31st and his build started this, so the 7th of May it is.

I just need to pop some gear cables on and she’s ready. I might do a build thread if anyone is interested.

Question now is; To paint or not to paint?

Awesome build mate

How are everyones plans coming along for this? Is anyone planning of making a weekend of it? camping etc?

Im thinking of taking the friday off and staying over. I might even have a beer or two

Thinking about camping at least on Saturday night as I'll need to be rested for homeward journey to Edinburgh on Sunday. Not sure as to Friday as I have to work until lunchtime before setting off so might break journey on way down then show up Saturday morning. My bikes been ready for a month or two but still undecided as to wheels as feared cx tyres might be too narrow for the punishment to come

Given the current fuel prices, this is way out of my league
