AR10 from the Eastern Angles

[Messie]

Hey everyone

Just one month to go until the amazing Annual Rideout number 10.

It's a long old trip over to Wales for us but it will be worth every minute and mile.

Obviously I'll be leaving from Colchester, cos that's where I live, but I'd like to scoop up any others from this lovely side of the country who will be going as well.

My plan at the moment is to leave very bright and early on Friday 6th August. Is there anyone from the East or the North of me who wants to pick up first In Colchester (I'm thinking Suffolk and Canbridge direction here).
Then to travel towards London picking up possibly in Chelmsford and/or something similar on the edges of the big smoke.

From there I plan to take the North Circular to The Ace to meet up with the Soho Massive crew, who will be waiting for us (they'd better be grrr) after having stuffed their faces on a fry up and waited for the last minuters (you know who you are )

From there I don't have much of a plan other than to follow someone who knows the way to Wales from there

So, who's in?

Ok, so provisional yes from me.

How early are you leaving Messie?

I live in Harlow, where would we meet?

I'm a very new rider, by that time I would have only rode for a few weeks at tops. And after my off...

I'm not scared of a bit of pace, but will be erring on the cautious side.

Also have zero sense of direction, so I'll need to follow someone! lol.

[Messie]

Great. No problem at all. Not sure of time yet but it'll be early ish - around 9 for me in Colchester I guess. Littlepeahead will be joining us as well and she's Chelmsford way so we'll see who else pipes up before fixing meet points

Kewl

Week to go, anything finalised?

[Messie]

Well, yes, sort of

Aiming to get to The Ace by 10.30 ready to leave at 11.

Although at The Ace there may be a decision or two to be made. The Soho lot are going in at least 2 groups, gentle and speedy and I'm not sure yet which would be best for people all round.

I'm going to suggest meeting Littlepeahead in Chelmsford (probably Boreham services as it's easily found off the A12) but do you know of a good place nearer to Harlow and close to the A12 where we could meet you?
It would need to be at around 9.30 am

I can prob meet you at Boreham, that's the BP with McD's right?

[Messie]

Yep that's the one.

Boreham at 9:30am it is

See you thar!

[Messie]

Good-oh!

Lets say outside the loos at the BP filling station.

I also think 9.15 maybe safer
