Hi nat

i couldn't get onto the vic web page, what is the plan? cause it may be better for us to meet you at the vic at mid day if thats ok?

Hope you had a great christmas.

take care

[Drucilla]

had a great Christmas thanks, hope you did too,
the info posted above was all there was on the Vic website as of this morning. I think the plan is to meet at the respective points in Leics etc for a midday departure for the Vic. I suppose everyone will get to the Vic about 12-30 to 1-00 ready for the
1-30 ride round Charnwood Forest so we can see you at the Vic around 12-30 if thats good for you.

Looking forward to it
Nat
