Marpril Meat Run 2015

[kaivalagi]

Lol, if not your winnings may be cooked enroute home!

Kenzie, if we get to the cafe for 10am prompt we can go all out on the breaky before the 10:30 departure

[maviczap]

Well we if we leave Tesco promptly then there's always time for a fry up

[maviczap]

I'm going to try & input Rich's original route into my **** nav, but I hope someone else can do the same, otherwise we may not find the pub. If we're going to follow me, things could go very wrong :p

I'll make my apologies now

[kaivalagi]

Lol, can you share the original route here to be sure we're on the same page, I've seen 2 routes before now...

I'll get it onto my garmin too...

[maviczap]

Here's the original route

This is Rich's original one

[NTECUK]

I'll give itv a try and load it into my phone.

[maviczap]

Bikes ready, given it a test run, fuelled it up

Routes loaded onto my phone & tablet

Forecast is looking good.

See some of you a Tesco's for 9, so there's time for breakfast at Redlodge

[NTECUK]

Oil changed. Sports mode engaged =:)
See you at Red Lodge café.

[Kenzie]

[maviczap]

Osteopath on Tuesday :???:

[kaivalagi]

He may be coming now but I've been told we shouldn't wait for him

[kaivalagi]

Well my 2 hour pre-MMR run took under 1 1/2 hours so I'm at the cafe already sitting in the sunshine!

Edit: I had to...

[maviczap]

Thanks guys, a good run out.

Only 2 U turns, not bad for an EAR ride out. :p

Need more way points on the route. :smt115:smt115

No one won the meat raffle :(

[Kenzie]

Good to see everyone today, great ride out. Will have to plan the tail end meat run.

[NTECUK]

Thanks! good day out.

[Kenzie]

We did seem to loop onto the A14 a couple of times. Bet that woman wins off of our tickets.

[maviczap]

Yes, i don't know why we did that, as the Google maps route that SvRich did, doesn't do that, and that's what i uploaded to my ****nav.

more waypoints required☺

[NTECUK]

If you want to see if they win it's not that far away. 40 miles via Hadleigh and sudbury.
Only 25 miles from my house :)

The biggest surprise was tubbie T's is now Allan's Café

[kaivalagi]

Allan's cafe in September it is then lol

Next ride out Red Lodge to Sunny Hunny then? One weekend in May?

[NTECUK]

Hunstanton?

[kaivalagi]

Hunstanton?
Yep, I have a half decent route used before somewhere, zig zagging up through a few decent spots

Probably about 3 hours ride from Red Lodge to Hunstanton, then fish and chips, then to Wells for Ice cream :)

[Skip]

Glad you all had fun - got my bits back yesterday but too short notice to fit them - should get that done this week as I am gagging to get out on it!!

[Kenzie]

The last Sunday of each month has a cash prize as well as a meaty (or pie) prize. Think we should go back.

[Skip]

No obligatory pictures of bikes in a petrol station/car park??

[maviczap]

Your wish is my command, although my phone was being used as a **** nav, so I only took this one.

Due to over enthusiastic use of the right hand, this was the result :p

I was going to take the ****, as my fuel light hadn't come on. ;)

But 5 miles up the road it did, curses. :smt053:smt053

[NTECUK]

Think it was more like the head wind that ate the petrol.
Nice steady pace.
The cross wind was a bit ferce. Lol

[maviczap]

Not as fierce as the Ipswich bypass on my way home, the bridge was a doddle

I still had 90 miles range left, just refilled as I went the long way home :P 150 miles to a tank when nailing it ;)

[NTECUK]

I'll fill mine up tonight ;)

[Kenzie]

Mav, I thought you had had enough of the wind when you pulled off at Haughley and wanted to take the back roads.
