I vote for Lincolnshire
Having lived there in the past the roads are awesome.
More socialising, definitely.
Doing a split groups would mean more organising, so whoever is in the local area would have more to do than this year.
Where ever it is and what ever the circumstances I will be there, and so will Jo.
I actually enjoyed the Saturday evening more than the rideout day it's self. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the rideout. Just thought that the socialising bit was better.
