Watch out for the Shindig too

[Bearbonesnorm]

I noticed the BSO was back.

Ian, do you know what weekend the Shindig is?

[Ian]

Talk of it being first weekend in September here: http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB ... it=shindig
I will endeavour to find out exactly.

[slowupslowdown-under]

vaguely exciting!

Make it the third weekend in September and I could also celebrate my Birthday!

I'm liking the arrive by bike idea! September would be great.

I've just noticed that the forum now has over 700 members. While that's not a vast amount, considering how 'obscure' bikepacking is and that all 700 are genuine people, not spammers or bots, I don't think it's bad. Anyway, it has been decided that if the forum ever reaches 1000 members there will be a party, a proper one with music, ale and stuff ... I'm just hoping not everyone will want to come

750 and counting, .

I'd love to ride to Wales and get drunk.

Better get recruiting.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Less than 200 required now

[GregMay]

So you're saying if we get 200 extra people you'll buy us all beer?

No but I will supply the venue and dancing girls

[GregMay]

"Dancing girls" you say. You mean goats don't you?

I have no goats ... but I do have

[ianfitz]

If it's any use I have a 'mates rate' deal at a local brewery and can get barrels (72 pints) for around 85£ it's bright so doesn't need to settle. Just crack it open and drink

[GregMay]

Ohh that white one looks a goer.

[Ray Young]

On March 29 2014 Tom signed up as the 500th member so if people continue to sign up at the same rate "the party" will be in April 2016. How about April 1st .

Well I'll be. Stu posted elswhere about getting a 1000 members, looks like my estimation was spot on . Should have been a mathematician or something .

[GregMay]

So when do I get my hands on that llama?

You'll be in the US somewhere ... and you'll have to make do with the brunette, he's quite friendly mind.

Probably not wifi as it kills our data allowance but I'm sure we'll be able to keep all updated ... although I'm expecting him to be finished by July 2nd
