Any plans to meet up before going into the starting pen?

[Rob Jones]

And also, is anyone planning on ghost riding?

Yes pen open from 8-20 to 8-50, I was planning on getting there 8-30 ish.

Just to note there are 21 Waves, so there will be approx 715 people per wave/pen.

That's a lot of people.

[Rob Jones]

Wow, big waves, choppy roads. Bet you there is plenty of space on the right hand side of the road though, if you can mentally cope with riding on it!

[Andy S]

I agree Jason,that was what I was thinking but not clearly expressing in my initial post.
May be difficult to find other Oggies amongst 700+ riders

[RoyH]

As Hayden suggested if we wait outside the pen we should find each other.

My thoughts are just to get to Lamby Way, might be messy with that many people and then try to stick to the right hand side as I would think most people's natural thought process is stick to the left.

Are you going to join in along the way Rob?

[Rob Jones]

Yes Jason, I'll be in Ogmore kit but probably join the ride after wentloog in case the traveller sites do something idiotic. Hopefully see some of you at some point.
