I was unable to attend any of the events this year.
There were a number of reasons for this.
- I didn't have the needful dosh for entry to any of them.
- I had no way to get to or from them
- The weather was, as usual, atrocious. (Which is discouraging)
The weather has always been a problem for these rallies being held as they are in mid November.
Spring is for us a season of storms and rain and though it is warming up we really don't start getting good weather until January.
The organisers were hamstrung to an extent in that there was difficulty in getting all the various venues needed at one time at other times of the year.
Despite getting good attendences the organisers have finally given up and decided to delay the next Burt Munro rally until the 2nd week of February and that, my friends, is a most excellent move and the time of year at which we are most likely to have good weather.
It does mean that there won't actually be a Burt in 2017, but that next years rally will actually take place early in 2018.
I hope to see some of you there.
