2nd EAR Rideout - 6th or 9th April

Im up for this.
Where is the services exactly? As I live Near J10 I will be going up the A1, so is this service station on the southside of Peterbough?

Looking forward to it

Cool, another one,

Services are at J17. Ignore the green arrow on the map. It's the white squiggle of road just to the left of the J17 roundabout.

Seems a bit silly for you to head up to Peterborough when we're all heading down the A1 anyway.

Dunno if we can change the meeting place to further down the A1 or whether that'll just confuse everyone. If not I'll see you at the services.

PM me if you need my number.

J10 is Baldock Services...
Also a big 'stop' with restaurants and stuff.
Maybe we could meet up there or you guys could meet at J17 and then Meet me at J10

How about J15a?
Itd be better for me and tris tbh.

I should be able to make it for the monday, hope this thing is still happening, I have been stuck in Manchester with my bike down here in Cambridge for the last few months, but got back yesterday. Hope the weather gets better before i return.

Ok, 2nd try at this organising meet up points.

Thanks, K.

Itd be more like 8.30am leaving j15a as they all start leaving ace at 10.30am

First option, I'll be at the Peterborough services at 8.30 and we can stop at Baldock on the way!

I prefer the 1st option as it save me crossing over to the M1.

TBH the A1 and the M1 aren't great biking roads () that make me want to travel extra distance to ride them.

So long as everyone gets to the Ace in time. If people are leaving the Ace at 10:30am then all times I suggested should be put forward so we're not late.

I disappear off after this weekend so something needs to be organised, numbers need to be swapped before Monday.

I will be at Peterborough Services before 8:30am and ready to leave ASAP unless I am told the plan has changed.

I'll be ready to go at 8.30 - maybe we should say meet at 8.15 to make sure we are all there! I've got your no. Law so will text any changes!
