Default Anyone for a relaxed ride up to AR10.

I'm starting to think about taking my VFR up to AR10 with a tent and luggage.

That means I'll be too wide to filter effectively and have too much loose cr*p to try and wear down my chicken strips. So I'm thinking about a leisurely ride along the A-roads.

Something like:

Late breakfast at the Ace on Friday morning.
Hit the A40 around 10.00 when all the cagers are at work
Get off the motorway and head for the A-roads.
Relaxed ride with a long lunch break in a country pub
Arrive at the AR venue late afternoon, get the tents up and go booze shopping.

Anyone else fancy it??

Keith.

P.S. If it's raining I might consider hitting the motorways and going for minimum journey time.

Two problems with that plan. Big breakfast. Leisurely lunch. If I partake of both of those I'll be too fat to wear my leathers and far too wide to filter, even without luggage.

Stop at mine and if the vfr is finished we could both ride in style.

I will probably head for The Ace to meet up with whoever is there. As for a route - well, I'll see what Uncle Garmin comes up with.

I guess it depends on whether we want to have an enjoyable ride there (I'll only have a rucksack so I'm ok) or whether those who are loaded up want to get there soonest & then relax.

Me, I'm easy - but that's a whole different story isn't it ? !!

Keith, you could always drop off some of your stuff at ours and we can take it in the van for you.

I think Uncle Garmin will tell you to hit the M4 and get the hammer down.
He's not a big fan of scenic routes.


Maybe you could convince Uncle Garmin that you've got to visit relatives in Burford, and have a lunch appointment at GL4 8LA.

Style and, more importantly, comfort.
