Myself and G are meeting at Melton Mowbray at 10am 2moro. Looking to head out for a good days riding some awesome roads at a good pace.

Anybody fancy it? Meeting at Melton n probably heading down to Market Harborough first so could meet people there if needed.

I would normally come along but not tomorrow.

Take care on the roads though, they are not as dry and grippy as you may think, especially ones over this way.
Me and col went out last week and they was either covered in mud or diesel

The roads everywhere are in quite a poor state, I came over the snake pass yesterday and the first half from Glossop is entirely cover in potholes an gravel, literally fallen apart.

Leicestershire roads are much better in comparison, I did a few of the roads we are doing last week.

Roads look clean and dry so I'm going out to play on the Daytona, but I won't be going at a 'good' pace, it'll only be the fourth time I've ridden the bike. I was thinking about A6 to Corby (via Geddington), Uppingham, Rutland Water Cafe, Melton Mowbray, buy a pork pie and reverse route home.

What route are you guys taking? I could amend mine to meet you at one of your coffee stops.

Me and the wife are gonna take a little ride to Stratford, first time clairs been on the bike since the AR.

Should be there around 12 ish if anyone is passing.

It's cold out but not painfully so, we are meeting in Melton at 10, heading down to market harborough then up to uppingham probably by about 10:45 to 11:00 then there's a nice loop back to Melton Mowbray via Bourne and cossington.
