Default GMII How are you getting up there?

Its as simple as it sounds to be honest.

How does everyone intend to ride up?

Motorway? A & B's? Back of a van??

We going en masse or is it everyone for him self? I know someone (possible Ralph) is doing a route through some decent roads but he mentioned its not for the light hearted or new riders).

I`m hitting Lancaster services with a potential meet up with Dizzy Blonde , The idea is to get there ASAP , settle in , crack open a tube of Beer or Five .

My return journey however may include a little detour to a place called "Rest and be Thankfull" , sounds like an intertesting place to me

thats the intention Badger. I've to meet up with me mate up there, also Regency looks like hes in too. I'm not bothered about doing a scenic on the way there. Just want to get up there and chill out, as Im Indoors is running from the opposite side of the country, with our other mate.

I'm a bit of a weirdo...I like motorways!

I'm riding up with Ralph and co on his A and B road route, but only if the group stays smallish (less than 12 bikes). There is talk of two groups.

I don't fancy traveling in such a large group as last time. It was a bit of a monster! Fun at times, but it took ages.

Entirely what you feel comfortable with, I've travelled with all the guys n girls doing the other route, and they are all pretty quick, and don't hang about. I'm not slow by all means but I wouldn't want to hold them up or ride quicker than I like.
I don't like travelling without Im Indoors when we're heading to the same place, so I'm aiming to get there ASAP to stop me fretting.

Besides I like Motorways
