G'day Fellas.
I just checked out my Bathurst ride. A bit disappointing, only 5 miles and restricted to 50 riders (26 at moment). At least I get 40 miles each way to do it.

I've been wanting to check out the Rockabilly Cafe, as long as they don't drag us into the Fossil Museum  *grins*

That website is just dreadful. I wonder how much they would raise if they actually made it easy. Anybody know if it is any better on a phone.
There are rides and teams. It forces you to join a ride (I have no intention of going to bury st edmunds) and you can optionally join a team. The BSAA7-A10FORUM is a team. I found it eventually and am in and will ride alone.

To find the team ride, at the top of the page, click on the magnifying glass in the upper-right corner and search for "BSA". Right now it comes up as 11 riders and one team, "BSA A7-A10 Forum, taking part Worldwide". Click on the black "Join Team" button around the middle of the page. You may need to be registered individually first. Not sure. My current complaint about the site is that I can't remove the ficticious member I created to test the team-joining process, "Charlie Beezer".

It seemed to me that to sign up I had to choose a location & team then I was not able to deselect that team to join the A7A10 team. To be honest life is too short to worry about this daft website;  I'll just donate some money. 😉

G'day Fellas.
Six riders and a mascot Charlie. Almost half way to our goal $$$. Two weeks to go.

Managed to join the forum team. Their web site is not intuitive...

So, I'm coming on my Beemer and riding with Bob, a Morini riding friend. Any forum people riding in London?

Is Bob registered for the ride? Might as well ask him to join the team.
