We'll likely be leaving the Friday and riding on up to arrive late Friday afternoon. At this stage I think the plan is to leave late Sunday morning for the return trip. Hopefully can catch up with those of you who also can make it. Butch, I can say that the HD Suzhou opening party was a real blast, which is why I am making the effort to make the trip even though it is a fairly boring one at that. I could and do make the journey less boring but there is only so much deviation that one can get away with especially when there are other riders to consider. I'm just sending an email in a moment to HD Suzhou asking them to book the rooms in the same hotel as last time - Suisse Place which was great with a large underground carpark, and excellent rooms.
