Blackpool Illuminations Ride - SV650.org

Righto -

just returned from a brilliant rideout (On my own

) in the dusk/ dark. The route varied but my destination was Blackpool Prom and the Illuminations. One of the highlights included riding hard down a traffic free front at Lytham St Annes in the sunset/ dark. Had my visor up - sand dunes whipping past and my zorst giving a wicked soundtrack - my first true sense of freedom since I passed my test tbh.

So - Anyone up for a mission next week - weather permitting? Try and re create some of this magic ride I had tonight? Some really good clear A & B Roads from Preston > Blackpool - A cruise down the Illuminations/ Coffee break and then a fast pace back down some lit/ unlight roads?

Sound Good?

Okay - lets leave fixing the time until we get some more firm takers and see what suits everyone. Its ideal to set off in daylight and get used to riding in a group before the dark arrives (For me anyway).
