The route i have planned for travelling down to the AR is outlined below.

the riding pace will be a moderately sedate one (however if the group decide that they want the pace a bit more spirited after the fist stop then say so) with a stop around every 30-40 miles.
if you want to go faster than the leader then by all means do so. faster riders can either pull over and wait at the next stop or just go it alone.
THE RUN IS NOT A RACE its a day out and i would rather people got to the AR in one piece.
individuals are responsible for making sure that their bike is in full working order if you breakdown on the day your on your own, we are not there to fix your bike.

if there are people wanting to join on route then please choose one of the stop points and put it beside your name could you also PM me and i'll give you my mobile number.

Complete Route:

Fuel Stop has been decided that it will be M6 services just of Junction 36 128 miles from Moffat point E on the map below:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...5,7,8,9,12&z=8

Start: Moffat (High Street) leaving at 12:00 midday

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=55.333386,-3.444698&sll=55.333243,-3.444096&sspn=0.002386,0.006968&num=1&z=17

please fill your tank up in Moffat BEFORE we leave.
total miles of Journey will be around 153 miles if everyone can manage that in one go then there will be no stops for petrol so please tell me beside your name in the attendees list.

EDIT:
the only stop for petrol will be at junction 36 on the M6 services so please make sure that you brim your tank before we set off. those meeting us on route please make sure that you have enough petrol to get you to the above petrol station.

if you have to stop elsewhere for petrol, then your on your own to find a petrol station.
we should get to Dalesbridge between 5:00 and 6:00pm

Stop 1: Gretna = Moffat to Gretna 31 miles

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...1,2,3,4,5&z=10

Stop 2 (lunch): Hartside Top Cafe = Gretna to Hartside Top Cafe 40 miles

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...via=1,2,3&z=11

Stop 3: Kirkstone Pass Inn = Hartside Top Cafe to Kirkstone Pass Inn 33 miles

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...p=1&sz=17&z=10

Finnish: Dalesbridge = Kirkstone Pass Inn to Dalesbridge 48 miles

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...z=9&via=1&z=10

i know this seems a bit overkill planning just for 150 odd miles but if more than just me turn up then i would rather people knew what was happening than left in the dark.

Can we keep the chit chat to the other thread http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=162503 please people. Thanks Lance
