Now you have scouted it out, perhaps it could be a SWB group long weekend?

What do you prefer? Up North or Wales?

So long as the wheel is balanced, which it is I cannot see it would be a problem. To check beed allingnment you would really need to take the wheels off. The bike has intergalactic miles on it so would be surprised if they are completely true given the amount of pot holes it would have hit over it'...

I'm working Wed, but that would have been a good route on a sunny Saturday.
