So of us will have a 300+ miles ride home, so i doubt it.

As for Amarkos route... all well and good, but you havent been on a AR! 180 miles is too long.

It needs to be simple, as in not a huge amount of turns/Junctions or too many very narrow roads. Its difficult getting 20 bikes to stay togehter let alone 60+ bikes. always that to take into mind.

Yes there might be hundereds of amazing roads, but we only ned a few, sort of strung togehter, and NO Motorway

i will
My campings currently booked until Sunday but I can stay a while longer as I live locally and have a very understanding boss who's also a biker. He may be coming along too but he's the one on the tiger.

Ohh but i have mr Viney

if you wants a shorter route then a shorter route you shall have, one thing though your gonna be travelling 300 miles to see exceptionally little of the lakes if the route is to be 120 miles.

pity the other site at sykeside or the one near penrith wern't suitable as the campsite your at eats up 50 or so miles (there and back) before you hit the lakes

Can't make this due to being abroad, so feel free to ignore/ridicule my comments.

Firstly aren't the Lakes gonna be just a bit too busy this time of year?

Secondly if you do the Lakes, would it not be possible to have a route where some of the riders can stop and wait whilst those wanting more of the riding experience can hoon off and collect the waiting pack on the way back to continue en-mass.
