2nd EAR Rideout - 6th or 9th April

I'll see you guys at ace then? i should be with runt & my bloke

[Supervox]

If you guys want a 'nice' rideout - then I would suggest NOT going to the Ace Cafe - but making your own way down here to Southend.

The reason being that the route taken from the Ace is very boring - A406 (North Circular) then A127 (dual carriageway) & made even more boring by the large number of bikes.

I'm afraid I can't help much as I'm not familiar with roads around Northampton. But, if you can get yourselves to the A414 then that road is a road that could have almost been designed with bikes in mind From the A414 you simply pick up the A130 which leads to the A127 for the last few miles into Southend.

Whichever you choose - have fun & I look forward to seeing you

You make the day sound soooo much fun:

get up early
dual carriageway into London
London traffic
dual carriageway
BBQ(the good part)

We're meeting runt, paws & tris at the Ace so that part of the run down can't change.

However, if people are up for it from the Ace. A detour up the A1 to Hatfield, take the A414 as Supervox suggests into Sarfend should take 2½ hours (give or take). Should make it on time for the 1:45pm BBQ meet at Lidl.



On a different note A1 Meet

At the mo we have

Peterborough Services:
Minifun
Me

Baldock Services (be there just before 9am):
Sharka Zulu

If you are going to be riding down with us, post up so we know because we won't be at the services for long.

Sharka, I'll PM my number to you. PM me yours before Monday (or text after Monday) me yours, and I'll text you when we set off from Peterborough.

Sounds good...
If the M1 users fancy meeting up with us for the ride down to Ace, the A507 joins the M1 to the A1 at J10. just a suggestion

Does anyone mind if I bring two mates along, one R6 and one GSXR.
Let me know, Thanks

I shouldnt think anyone will mind huni, my blokes coming on our zx0 and my mate on his TLs

I'm not going to make this now - just did bikesafe and got back to see no tyre left - down to the thread like metal looking stuff in the centre so can't risk it. Have tried to get another but as its bank holiday everyone is shut! I knew it was getting low but hadn't realised it was that bad! Doh. Soz guys!

minifun - did u do bikesafe in peterborough? i'm on the waiting list and have been told no dates have been fixed yet?!

I did my bike safe in Pboro last year, was a great 3 weeks and the ride was fun too......

No, did it with Lincolnshire Police. They do it in a morning and its cheaper. I couldn't commit to three tuesdays for the Peterborough one and its the best part of £100. Lincs one was £35. Would recommend it, the roads up there were great and new to me. I get bored of riding the same roads all the time! lol
