Hi all.
I'm in the welsh 2 day and was wondering how the fueling stops work. I've never done this event before and have been told that I will need a support crew? I am more than willing to contribute to costs if you guys have anything organised and i can join on? Otherwise any advise will be appreciated. Thanks - Dene

Dene, had a bloke called Jock doing fuel for me, can try and get his number for you if you want but he does charge. You'll need fuel in 3 places, twice on the trail and once back at the lake to fill up before you put the bike back in parc ferme. Ran out of fuel one year before I got to second fuel stop  Shocked 
If you do do it with someone whose carrying a load of fuel (like Jock) make sure you mark your cans, as some of the gits don't care whose fuel they use.

Ide go with Mike Davies as he is one of the Welsh organisors and he donates money to the Welsh ISDE team.. No need for prior planning until you get there on the Wednesday.

Thanks Elvis / xbb. The Mike Davies / Jock options certainly looks the way to go. thanks for the suggestions. this will make it far less of a ball ache to organise.  Very Happy

Does Mike Davies do 3 or 4 fuel stops.....I'm not sure my 9,5 litre tank on a 300 will make it!

He covers all the designated fuel stops what bike you riding ? Std fuel tank will be no problems unless the jetting is all to balls
