Default Coast and a Roast ride out - SUNDAY 13TH MAY

Right then I'm going to put together a ride for May. Route something like this - Downham Market To Theford Forest A1065 to Fakenham, A148 to Cromer. That's about 80 miles then stop for a pub lunch or chips n' welk's. Then take the A149 coastal road to Hunstanton. Bit of time there then A149 to King's Lynn then A10 home.

Leave Downham about 10.30 - 11.00 Gives people time to arrive.

About 90 minutes riding fairly nice roads 80 miles.

Lunch about 12.30 ish around West or East Runcton.

Poodle along the coast to Hunstanton 40miles of country road 75mins plus stops?

Spend a little time in Sunny Hunny - Fun Fair, Chips, Dounuts and Ice Cream.
Pick up some Sticks of rock for the family.

Then the final leg back to Downham Market a long the A149/A10 30 miles.

I'm guessing about 5 hours and a tank of fuel.

Anyone up for it.

Sounds like fun - didi you have a particular weekend in mind? Assuming you want to steer clear of the terror that is a Bank Holiday (when it'll probably rain anyway! ).

I was thinking of getting peoples input then picking a day - weather permitting of course.

Saturday would be best because the roads are clearer, less Sunday drivers.
But I can still do Sundays.

Word of warning, only been riding since end of March, last rode 12 years a go, so I wiil not be quick. Also I've done most of these roads in a car, but have never strung them all together on a bike in one hit.

Cheers.

Unfortunately my May looks like:
5/6 Italy Italy
12/13 Italy Free
19/20 Stag Do (not mine) BMF (if sober enough)
26/27 Free Free (I think)

But if it ends up on a free one or gets repeated some time I'll be there.

Count me in, that is if non-SVer's are still welcome!
Keep us posted of dates etc.
I cannot do Saturdays as I work in car sales and this is the busiest day of the week for me.

Cheers,
Si

What you mean you've been ignoring my hundreds of pm's?!
I am good skip, just back from hibernation really.
I changed jobs was busy at work and have spent most of the winter months doing my other two wheeled hobby - cycling.
Looking forward to my new toy and getting back out on the motorbike again.
Howz the Kwak?

Oh and does this constitute hijacking a thread?
