Here's the start - just follow the course of the A44:

Starting with Glasgow to Inveraray and back Via the Green Welly @ Tyndrum... Or Glasgow to Callander, upto Killin then along the top of Loch Tay into Aberfeldy and back via Crieff and Knockhill!!!

Scotland is a beatiful place for sure... and the peeps cant be beat either for freindlyness. My only concern is that its a bloody long way to try and cover in a weekend.
Personally i wanna do a trip sometime that will take in Scotland and Ireland, just gotta try and concince the g/f to do it with me cos she aint been to either and she dont know what she's missing.


And Sythree.... thanks for the link mate... your a gentleman

South and mid Wales are fine.
I live in Aberystwyth during termtime and I've never even been stopped, nevermind got a ticket of any sort.

Re the Eastern counties.

As I said earlier, I can plan a ridout in my own backyard but not anywhere else. If someone wants to organise one over in Norfork that would be grand.

A few years ago (2001 I think) someone sent me a rideout route for the Foxes Diner rideout. When we got there, it turns out that this guy didn't know the area and had just sat down with a map and drew a circular route around the start point of Foxes Diner. Needless to say it was completely crap.

The best approach is to pick a place and get a local to submit his favourite Sunday morning blast. This is what happended last year and we rode Dave Crabtree's favourite route. It was good.

So Sons of Norfolk, volunteer your services and we'll descend apon ye.

Daryl, Ed and myself can do the A44 any time.

John

well i will have ago at doing one, how many days over a wekend or 1 day?

Nice to see so many routes, but has anyone actully decided where we are going?

Wales and the Southeast seem to be the popular votes. So wahts it going to be???

well southeast has more votes..... how about the norfolk idea?

That rings a bell - out of Foxes diner, onto the dual carriageway, and then a random ride around Berkshire (via the A4 & Newbury) - I think about 3 of us made it back to Foxes IIRC

Thought I had some photo's saved somewhere, but can't find them - would be interesting to see how many of us from then are still around - from memory, I recall John (Admin), Kevin, James Holland (JHS) turned up on a 700/750 I think, - any one else?

Got to be Southeastern England/Going across to the Southwest, Somewhere near StoneHedge, never riden across that way before. I like the Norfolk idea as well.
