As Skip said, we are such a spread out group wherever we start there is always going to be a few who have to travel.
If we start at the west of the region eg Perry then we usually end up in the east so those who travelled to the start dont have far to go home, but those near the start have a trek back after, and vice versa. At least its fair that way.

Having said that, the rides are always worth the trip!! If you can do the full ride then I urge you to try, it'll be a laugh, and a great experience for a new rider, i should know cos i was in your position this time last year and it did me the world of good!

Owwwww, but... but...

I'm trying to think of excuses why I wouldn't be able to ride that far on a Sunday but I can't. I guess it's the whole hog for me then! My neck will be ruined by the end, but hey... an experience right?

You wont regret it hun, honest!!

And as for your neck, that'll teach you to go naked!!

You'll be fine - just think that its only one way - the ride-out is effectively bringing you back home I will still have to ride from Southwold back to Wymondham!

Over 100 miles for me! I live right near southwold lol.

Being naked is fun
I would probably have something different and with a fairing if I wasn't only just starting out however!

At least you get the dull bit out of the way first , we have the thrill of the rideout followed by the very tedious trip home up the A14 with its even lovelier average speed cameras

Ahhh, I know these too well. Done twice a week on a friday and sunday when my girlfriend is at uni. I do not envy you on a ride home down there

You mean the average speed cameras that can only catch vehicles with front mounted number plates?
