Lol, I do like a good pie

In my defence mate, this will only be my 2nd time of riding those roads so hardly every week !!

Weather is gonna turn over Wales tomorrow afternoon so that puts me off tbh, I did crossgates over 10 times last year so rode that more than anywhere else, so this is a change for me.

The BP lot are meeting late ain't they ? I wouldn't get back until 8pm if i went there.

It's reasonably late yeah, the weather doesn't look to bad, but then two day ago the whole country was covered in sun for two weeks so I'll keep an eye onbit today... I don't want to ride in wind and rain for 12hr in Wales if it's going to be nice here that's for sure.

Ok I'm leading then. Mike had a look at the route, basically what I reckon we are going to do with some slight alterations.
Unfortunately there's not much in the way of fry up places thats not in town centre at MH that I can think of.
And I feel Long Itch is a bit too far out of the way, but saying that if everyone is willing to travel to meet at Long Itch it sorta makes the route long enough to put Rutland Water as a Lunch Stop.
We can stop briefly at the MH McD's/Petrol Station for anyone wishing to meet us en route who didn't fancy riding to Long Itch.
My only concern with the Long Itch option is if there is anyone meeting us at MH then we won't be there until around 12ish unless we put the leaving time back from Long Itch.

So options people:

A. Long Itch Diner, Fry Up
B. Market Harborough, McD's
C Long Itch Diner then onto Market Harborough McDs to pick up people meeting there (we won't be stopping long at all, 5 mins to say hello and then out)

If everyone is ok meeting at Long Itch then we shall be aiming to leave at 11.
If we are all meeting at MH we shall be aiming to leave at 11.

If we are meeting at Long Itch but end up meeting a few people en route at MH does anybody meeting at Long Itch have any objections to leaving earlier to give the MH guys a longer day? Say aiming to leave at 10.

We shall be ending the ride at Market Harborough.

Any thoughts?

Is this list now up to date and correct?

My vote is the McDs at MH. Although I would prefer the fry up its just a tad out of the way for me.

[mike636]

there is a layby about 100 yards from maccie d's with a decent cob van in if that appeals to anyone??

I guess I'll ride down to MH with Mikey

I don't mind meeting at McD's but am happy to go earlier to hunt down and devour a proper big brekkie with the hardcore carnivores

Sounds like a good alternative to McD's breakfast.

[Binky]

Where the hell is the long itch diner? Google is saying around 30 miles from MH. Is that the right place, near Southam?

If so i'll probably just meet you guys at the MH meet point...

[Mr Speirs]

Yeah that's the place.
Ok so theres Binky, Mike, Rusty, David all meeting at MH

I guess the only sensible thing to do is meet at MH then?
That ok with you Phil?
Burger van down the road for a greasy breakfast?
