I dont mind when is held, I only suggested the linkage with GP because it may suit riders who are planning to come down anyway or could combine the two events.
It is difficult to organise these sorts of things as its not possible to suit everybody and you can end up moving it to suit one group only to find it excludes others.
That period around the GP is as good as youll get I reckon: there are a lot of riders around and its a good time.
Weatherwise its a bit of a lottery but thats always the case, its no better or worse than any other time really.
As a suggestion I think 3-4 days is probably long enough. This is the first TDUT and after all we tell our kids about the dangers of going off with strangers we have met on the Internet ! Say start Monday with shorter afternoon ride (allow people to get there from PI) and then allow say 2 full ride days (pick the best of your rides) and finish up with a shorter morning ride on the last day which people can join in or leave if they need to get away
