South / North Ride out.... The event of the year !

i go up to bradford a few times a year(in the car) i normally go motoway but have gone up through wales a few times.
but i dont realy fancy going all the way on my own but theres plenty of time to sort that out later, i dont work thursdays, so if i book friday off im sorted

I'm putting a route together soon. I need to find out if we are taking the whole day, or just the afternoon.

As "my" group are almost all based in West London, we'll be using the M40 (M1 still has the roadworks in the lower section). It's about 265 miles which I reckon will be the best bit of 5 hours including fuel/coffee breaks.

M40/M42/M6 is the most direct route.

If we decide to make a whole day of it, we may go via Matlockand the Cat & Fiddle, but I'm not sure about that yet.

.

I'll probably just bimble around, vaguely heading northish and end up in Scotland somewhere.

might as well stay up north for the AR07

I was going to be a wuss and wait until closer to the day to see if I could afford it/time etc - but then I remembered THIS and figured if I take the plunge and commit now then it'll happen.

You and your camera have to turn up Quiff - you have to take umpteen pictures of my bike until you get the light just right and can proove that it IS blue!

I really really Do wanna come.

Hey, which one's Rich? Yellow curvy and St George's flags?
and Amarko?

Amarko or Mark Davidson when he appears before the magistrate is the guy way in the distance being chased by Taran. He is the site resident expert on the roads we will be riding on this jolly weekend. You will only ever see the tail end of his TDM as it disappears round that corner a mile in front. Thank god he cannot go more that 15 minutes without the need for a nicotine fix and therefore stops to let everyone catch up





Dr Rich is our resident BMW whatever bimbler and polisher. A damm pleasant chap all the same despite his peculiarities, I mean a BMW!. We only tolerate him because he used to ride an SV. Oh and has been known to get the beer in, so a damm fine fellow indeed.

Next question I know will be who is Taran
