I know the feeling, take it easy John ;).

Not 'arf... The traffic coppers in Lincolnshire are some of the 'worse' in the UK... Next to perhaps Wales :roll:

Not all Wales is Bike Un-friendly it's just Richard Brunstrom's lot (North Wales Police), The Dyfed-Powys, Gwent and South Wales are okay.

Stay south of a line drawn between Stoke-on-Trent and Aberdovey!

Well Ross-On-Wye sounds good to me.

Lots of nice routes around there. Herefordshire and Powys borderland is great, up around Hay on Wye, Abergavenny etc. Then you've got Wye Valley down to Chepstow, round thorugh the Forest of Dean. Symonds Yat Rock, lots of castles to see etc....
I do these runs reguarly. Excellent biking country.

That sounds good - I have somewhere for me to stay over there!

We're a more social lot up here though :wink:

The geographical centre of the UK is hexam in northumberland or northumbria.

why does it allways have to be south of manchester.

planned in advance and made into a long weekend sounds like the best plan then you could enjoy the beauty of the borders and into the scottish borders as well.

just food for thought as the southern runs (and the last 2 have been :lol: ) tend to exclude the majority of scottish riders and those north of manchester.

there is a lot of the country north of the watford gap :P

Yeah yeah.... And it's always bloody raining up there too :lol: :lol:

I'd vote to have the next one in the Yorkshire Dales.

more or less central to most people and I would even offer to help organise :-)

Hexam is the most central but how many northern Scottish memebers do we have?
