Dragon Rally Feb 2010
 

I'm going to the dragon rally in north wales . Was wondering if anyone else was going. My first time at the dragon any advise welcom.

If it's on Anglesey again (again again again), prepare for galeforce winds.Apart from that just turn up, have a walk round and talk to as many people as you can. I think in ten years there's been one Dragon you might consider a bit nasty weather wise, so while it's worth checking the forecast there's no need to dig out the studs and Swedeish ski frames.

I won't be there this year, heading for the Elefant and can't get out again a week later. Look for the Thumper Club guys they always give a warm welcome to anyone who's not been before.

Steve,I will be there.Hopefully we can meet up for a beer.

Hope to be there on the venerable cub90, there will be a few c90's there. Come and say hello!!

There are other rallies you know. Mayflower MCC Home

Myself & a couple of mates have got our tickets. We're leaving the KTM's at home and coming on C90's:thumbup1: I hope to have my sidecar fitted by then!

We're all first timers.
Is there a bar or do we bring our own booze??
Same Same for Food???


Cheers

your combo sounds mad [but then we must all be mad] I'm taking my own bar look me up for a drink . steve

Usually you'll be offered hot soup when you check in. The "bar" is a table served from a van load of cans on a good year, there is a sort of club house if they end up on Anglesey again. There is usually a burger van. So, if you are happier travelling light, having a few cans of Boddingtons and the sort of burger most people will only eat after fifteen pints, there is that option. If you want a nice Martini, Moules Mariniere, Meatballs and tagliatelli, treacle sponge and a nice bottle of Bordeaux, followed by port and cheese (that was what I had this year!), you need to bring your own.

:w00t: Where exactly will you be camping, Andy?

Just read this :taz:

I'll be there too. Due to time constraints I'm cheating a bit as I'm flying in to the UK and being picked up by a friend whom is also providing me with a loaner bike. Still beats not going, though :) I'm very much looking forward to it!

Love your blogs, Hans. I hope we can put on some snow for you!!

Indu,if I have guessed correctly I think that we shall be travelling to the rally together.:mchappy:

and now i've read your previous posts. :wave:

There is always 2011. I always have a spare drink in the cocktail cabinet (avoid the Sidecar (Brandy and cointreau), seems appropriate but tastes awful) for anyone who wants a chat :thumbup1:.

Love it!! Happy travels..

That is ace! Looking forward to meeting you guys!:thumbup1:

Hi, thank you for your kind words :)

A snowless Dragon Rally is ok too as it is something else for me to ride in February without it. Above 0 C, two wheels, not a Guzzi - a nice change :)

Right now I'm getting ready for the New Year's Rally some 2 hrs ride from me - and the temp is currently -21 C. I'm pondering how to bring along freezable drinks without them freezing rock solid. I might have to use a cooler bag only with heating elements in it...

I received the control meet location today, and we are going to be at a new location in the woods in the hills, sounds interesting :thumbup1:

Yay! I'm booking my ticket over to the UK tomorrow (Sunday) and after what you wrote I'll be looking even more forward to The Dragon Rally!

Havent recived my control locations yet ,the location sounds interesting . Looking forward to meeting you all .

After 20 continuous year of being a Dragoner (is that the right term?) I would say prepare for the worst weather and hope for the best. You WILL get cold, you will PROBABLY get wet and you will MOST DEFINATELY get muddy.

Oh! And make sure you wash your bike when you get home.

Steve

I got mine today!!:D

hopes!!!
 

hoping to have a c90 for the rally. if not it's the africatwin which broke down in aberystwyth last year on the way there! shame it were'nt on the way back but that's life. looking forward to seeing a c90 with a sidecar!here's hoping to make it this year!!

hi steve ,if you can try and stay in one of the bunkhouses at betws y coed (friday)£15 or £19 with b.fast,The Vagabond is a nice place but theres a few there on the internet,theres a few pubs chippy etc; in the village,if you cant there should be good food and beer at the rally also theres a pub nearby that will be serving food and putting the rugby on,tim.

A few of us are staying at Pete's Eats at Llanberis on the Friday night. Bedding supplied in the bunkhouse, £12 last year. 2 spare places left.:mchappy:
