Slight alteration, meeting at 9am for 10am kick off, from Maccy D's (cause they'll be open!)

Thanks everyone for your help, but particularly to Lissa for your much appreciated advice.

Mmm, breakfast bagels

Looks like a decent route Mike. Off at 10am from
Mac(doesyouwantfrieswithyournondescriptentrails)Do nalds...sorry I'd sooner chew on a pair of a tramps old pants......but enough of the rant. I should be there thoughmy boss has let me out for the day, it going to be down to Micheal Fish. Looking forward to it...cheers.

PS. anyone want to join me on my leg from Norfolk to Peterborough?

My boss is up for it

Here is the route for the March rideout, with the alterations. We start at Eye services on the A47 (not the BP services on the A1198 roundabout). We follow the route to Colsterworth services at the A1 junction (about half way). We then follow the route to the Haddon services on the A1 junction near Peterborough.

I've tweaked the lines so that if you zoom in it follows the roads we go on (down to satellite level) to make it easy to follow.

We meet at 9am for a 10am start, ( Maccy D's never had it so good!). It would be nice to know peoples preferance to saturday or sunday, but a lot of the final decision will be made nearer the time and depends a bit on weather.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice and help, Sean C, Lissa who have help loads.

More details to follow as and when

Looks good Mike - I just hope I can come!

Saturday please! But either way you're the one going to the effort of putting this together, so pick which day suites you best...

I'm ok for both days, but if there is a preferance and a majority and the weathers better one day than another, then we'll go with that. I ain't into 'I organised it so thats it' I've looked at other areas clubs, and they seem to do a lot more getting together than over here for some reason. I just think it will be nice to do something here, with people from the SV forum (and others) with a common interest...biking. For me, it will be nice to meet some of the people I've had conversations with on here. I know whatever day we go won't please everyone, but that's unavoidable unfortunately. But I'm looking forward to my first rideout with the Org.

Sorry..wasn't trying to pass the buck or anything, it's fantastic that you're going to the trouble of doing this.

I was a newbie to the forum last March and had not ridden since passing my test 12 years prior. I put together a rideout in May, I too was trying to be thoughtful asking for opinions and proposals etc....but everyone had there own input.

Then things got confusing. Some people could make one day and not the next whilst others could make the other day and not the first. Then YOU still have to chose...TBH I felt guilty leaving some people out cause they couldn't make the day chosen and some people were disapointed not being able to make it.

So since then, when I put together a rideout I always pick a day early on. It gives people time to get organised and make time for the rideout. The guys on this site are a great bunch especially Pete and Lissa! They'll travel for miles for a rideout and they're good company (Pete's always happy to share his memories of the 1st world war).

Cheers.
