Weather forecast is fair…..cloudy with a touch of…...well take your waterproofs , just in case.
If you don't feel up to it for this weekend then look out for the green NRR stickers on the riders' bikes and give them a wave. A friendly face is often all that is needed to spur them on. If you see any of the dayglo "NRR Control" signs in your area, follow the arrows and call in for a brew. Some of the volunteers are there for the duration and could do with someone to chat with during a quiet period, especially if you talk bikes!!
Maybe you will end up on the National Road Rally 2017, yet another great excuse for a ride out.
