thats why its a slow paced rideout, actually we did have a small spot of bother this year from the police, but they left us alone in the end.

TBH cross that bridge when or if we come across it...

Rideout wont get posted on the forum, you dont need to worry about getting lost every junction will be marked.

Yep, I pulled out of the start point and was at the front as I was leading and there was a policeman on the A303 he stopped to speak to Liz who was supposed to take pictures of you all as you peeled off the A303 on the quiet back roads and then chucked a mental at her about 80 odd bikes going past him in a manner that he wasnt very happy about.

Didnt help that he parked in a daft place and blocked the marker that I'd left on the junction and it meant some last minute moves were carried out and he wasnt very happy about it.

No he just ranted at her and then told her to be on her way, he followed the rideout for a little while, and then went on his merry way.

Although I can see the WOW factor of the Pied Piper effect I really couldn't cope with you all turning up at once.

I have plans y'know!! Dribs 'n drabs works best!
If soho organisation is anything liek alst year, we'll all agree to meet at a given place at a given time on a given day, then split up into smaller groups, then all have differant routes and then end up coming all seperatly but along the same route and arriving at differant times

Me and maria shall probably come alone, or at least arrive alone if we did set of with any soho'ers, given that i expect they will arrive quicker than me and maria :mrgreen:

I need some input from those of you who know the area.

What is the best way to approach Althorne from the North West (say Cambridge-ish) with regard to best biking roads?
