We will meet at the Shire Horse, in Maidenhead @10:30. Ideally people will arrive punctually, but i'm not one to talk. Having checked numbers/introductions hopefully we will get away @10:45.

As per usual, please arrive fully fueled. There is a garage just up the road towards Reading. I assume my bike will have one of the worst fuel economies, so pit stops will be determined by pre-arranged stops.

With the rideout getting larger in numbers, i would appreciate some input on whether mirror checks will be adequate, or whether people would prefer markers.

To get around the problem, i was thinking of having a number of 'regroup' locations every 20 miles or so, where we would wait for any stragglers. Just a few points on the map, so people know where to head for. That would give the smokers a chance to kill themselves, should they so desire.

Further updates to follow.
