Hello Chris,
I looks like I should go to Mons 2009, too.
This year I had some trouble with my company getting vacation for that event.

I could only get vacation for Friday and Monday. So I think I'll leave home on Friday morning.
I wanted to complete week before Mons free, to have enough time to prepare the Kettenkrad for the event but like every year, there is not enough free time before.
I didn't book a hotel until now and I hope there are still spaces.
Hope to see you at Mons! (What about Hanno???)
Best regards
Andreas
