slight derail of the topic. Having just come back from Cadwell I came back by some blinding A roads around Lincoln, Spalding, Market Deeping before picking up the A43 to Northampton.
so anyone suggesting Lincoln area gets my vote
I like the idea of a gathering though with a couple of short rideouts planned if people want to do them. say a morning/afternoon one. after all part of the fun of being on the bike is exploring new places.
