I've gone for a week on Sunday as I'm servicing the bike this weekend and replacing the gearshift shaft. As I'll also have to spend time with my lads I doubt I'll make it out this weekend.

:idea: it is bank holiday weekend so I might make it out on the bike on the Monday (just to ensure that the new parts are working OK you understand :lol: )

Although not on the voting side, i think the majority of us agree Monday is the best choice so far.

So long as i get time to sink a few that day! :lol: :drink:

On a secondary note, the forecast so far aint that good.... :evil:

Thought i was going to miss out for a bit. Although I have got something on from mid-afternoon so a morning ride would suit me (please).

Its on the A6097 the road that connects the A614 and A46

Do a search on Mapquest for Caythorpe in Nottingham and you will find the road.

its easy for me to get to

Gunthorpe sounds ok to me, its not so far from Derby.

What sort of time? I need to get back home for some Guinness

A future place with 10 pubs, boats, birds and bikes is Shardlow between Long Eaton and Derby.

Barty, my volvo lights were a failed attempt at humour, sorry mate :oops:
