I'm going because I used to live there and it's about time I saw some of my family. It's also a good excuse to go somewhere. I have accommodation at a friends flat he rents out. When I went to cancel a hotel booking (my family don't live close enough to the action

)recently the owner said he still had quite a few scooterists still going.
There's a small group going in our party and we've booked ahead for restaurants. I'm not sure how we will approach the pubs but I don't plan on attending any.
My understanding is all the bands etc in Ryde are now cancelled.
