Does anyone fancy giving the route around South Wales another go – maybe we’ll avoid the rain this time and get the route right at the end so avoiding the Motorway.

I've spoken to Jabba, and the proposal is to link up with Hornets Nest

Date/Time/Where meet?

We're posting notice early to give as many as possible time to sort things out...

Sat 20th May only clashes with the BMF Show in Peterborough and the MotoGP is the following day.

Usual meeting point Severn View Services (aka Aust) usual time 11.00am to depart at 11.15am

The route (updated after recce) is here(.pdf) or here (.axe Autoroute 2006)

Jabba will post on the Nest and I'll keep an eye on here

Yet again we will be using the Drop Off system to mark out route

Same as we did last year concerning the safety element, specifically what we know about each other in the unlikely event of an accident.

A ride-out conducted by another forum was unfortunate enough to be involved in an incident, which resulted in a rider being hospitalised. The sad part of the story is that the other riders only new his forum name, this made it difficult for them to arrange to notify a home contact and for the recovery of his machine etc.

Now this may sound like tempting fate, however, I am a believer in that if there is a plan for the worse, the worse won’t occur.

I suggest that we all print out the “form” below, complete it, no need to hand it to anyone just have it with you, Put it in the map pouch of your tank bag (or somewhere equally obvious).
