That's great Mark. Of course the ciders worth it, its free  That's if it hasn't been used for paints tripping, unblocking drains etc.

Cider House Rules! Here's a scary thought, the good old HMRC have seen fit to register me as a legitimate cider producer/seller  They've obviously never tasted it  Don't worry Mark, its still free to thumpeteers, and batch 3 has your name On it 

[Mark]

and batch 3 has your name On it 

I'd love to know what you've called it, I hope Ronnie didn't give you any suggestions.

hi tim just put up a notice on biker.ie for thumper owners about the weekend   hope to get a few heading up ,do you know what time the roads close for racing Saturday morning thanks mate tommy

[timbo]

Hi all, roads close midday on Fri 24th for practice, and 10am on Sat 25th for racing.  On the Saturday I hope to combine having a ride out am with spectating pm, but if anyone wants to spend the whole day spectating, that's fine too.

Hi lads,

Just to let you know, have planned to come up from Mullingar on the Friday. What's the story with camping, do I need to book anything with the Shepherd's Rest or do I just turn up?

Hope to CU there,

Rene

PS been a while since I last visited a Thumper Club rally, must have been in Dent I reckon, 2007 perhaps? Maybe Steve D. remembers what year that was ;-)

[Mark]

Rene, just turn up, there is going to be a few of us there.

As for Steve D he can't remember what he did yesterday.

[timbo]

Yep just turn up, camping will be £5 per night, and the meal on Saturday evening will be £10. About a week before, I'll try to get a rough head count on here 

[SRXpatriate]

Great, thanks for letting me know. Looking forward to it. Hope we get the weather

Shepherds Rest is getting popular  The Irish Sidecar Owners Club are there the weekend before us lot. Think I'll take a spin up

Hi folks. I just need to get an idea of numbers for the Thumper Weekend at the Shepherds Rest. Its mainly for dinner on the Saturday night. So if you're coming, please check in here   
The format for the weekend will be as follows:
Friday evening there is no food laid on, but I can recommend Slims Cafe in the main street, Draperstown. Good cheap grub, and Owen gives bikers a discount. Followed by an evening of light libations and singing round the campfire.
Saturday. If you want to watch the Cookstown 100 all day, racing starts about 10.30, and the circuit is about ten miles from Shepherds Rest. But I think most people want a bit of a run out around the Sperrins, so breakfast at Slims with a full ulster fry  , then the run will leave there at 11am, and finish at the Cookstown 100 about 2pm,  to watch the rest of the race meet. In the evening there's a two course buffet dinner at the Shepherd Rest, probably 7.30ish 
So safe and pleasant journeys to all

Hi Tim,

I'll be bringing 5 non members with me along, I presume the other bunkhouse attendees Steve D, Rick, Gareth and Jethro will also be there.
