From Coventry, if i planned on doing around 100 miles on a sunday ride out, where should i be heading?

And what about bike meets? I've heard good things about Bassets pole... that ain't too far away is it?

There are a few nice roads up towards Coleshill way, thats on the way to Bassetts.

Bassetts is alright when the weather is nice because you get a lot of people there, but not been many Tuesday's of such and it'll start to die down as the nights draw in.

I live just down the A444 in Nuneaton, so not far from you.

To some it up for me, the attraction at the Waterman is the bikes - customs, choppers, classics, paint jobs, trikes, modded superbikes, italian exotica. The attraction at Bassets is the sheer number of bikes, atmosphere, and watching all the idiots doing stupid stuff on the dual carriageway. If I could I'd go to both, but not often I get a Tues and Weds night free.

I don't think much to the Waterman, food there is pretty nice thats all I can really say for it. Its alright when the car park is fully open but as Ralph said you get a lot of customers, choppers and classics there. Its a "once every so often".

Last time I went with Perry the car park was half closed off so it was a better of just park behind of somebody else.


Liam when do you start uni?

think you should invite me :P

james if your off to uni wonna have an xbox night at mine , few mates some beers and a **** load of games? liam your more than welcome too if all goes down .

The fosse way is right on your doorstep my fave rd and the gateway to the cotswolds , bike meet wednesday night at The waterman 20 mins from cov and sunday afternoon waterfront stratford on avon.

that looks like an incredibly straight road lol. i prefer stuff like the cat and fiddle if any of you are familiar...

i thought it would be nice to go to stratford upon avon. perhaps a good place to take girls?

It's not twisty like the Cat and Fiddle, but fun nevertheless. If I'd have wanted to suggest boring roads I'd have said M-ways . Stratford is nice although not as good now you can't park on the Waterside. Bourton on the Water or Bibury are nice too.

what ya on about no good reads around cov??? there are some awsome twisties, me n me old man often go a blast that comes just past cov and then we end up near rugely, then a different route back!
youve just gota fill ya tank and take the turns, see where you end up and find a different way back

more than welcome to tag allong some time
