Uk G2G 2016 Friday 22Nd- Sunday 24Th July

[drobinson]

Would be a good idea of the stop off points so people can meet/join the ride there.

It would be if we knew what they were going to be.

[BwfcDave1]

does anyone want to meet up at first McDonalds on the A41 as you come out of the Birkenhead tunnel opposite camel laird ?

 

10.00 pm ?

 

I'll see you at 10 - Don't be late!

 

Dave

 

PS Just notice 10am?

[steve-evans]

Sounds like a plan, I was thinking of starting around midday meself (didn't read that bit). I'll ride slow so you can catch up. :rotflmmfao:

Hey guys, some of us are meeting at the H cafe around 12.30 on Friday if you both fancy joining us to ride the rest of the way?

Retirement sounds like hard work Pete

[Kelpie]

We still have to work out our route but I suspect we'll be travelling something along the lines of:


Harlow - M11

M25 to J20 (or possibly skip motorways and head across to Hemel Hemsptead)

A41 (shame not to) to Bicester

Oxford

Worcester

Etc


Saga, BSM and I will see what time we manage to get away and if we're at the H cafe then all well and good but don't hang around for us.

Apologies for being off the grid on this, my Dad passed away a fortnight ago, in Ireland, where he lived. I've been flitting between the two countries trying to sort things out. There's some light at the end of the tunnel now, so I'm OK to make this weekend, but I have a solicitor's appointment in Derby on Friday morning, so won't make noon at Lynn's Raven cafe. I'll probably still head there for lunch, but probably won't get there until 1:30, missing you chaps. If anyone is up for a later meet, I'll be there until 2:30ish then I'll be engaging the "Twisty Roads" functionality on my TomTom and heading to Dom's the scenic way 

[Studley Ramrod]

Sorry to hear of your loss Chris.  :giveusahug:

[drobinson]

Condolences


I'll have a beer ready for you mate

[geordieguy]

Sorry to here that Chris.

[peterkelly]

Our condolences Chris.


Pete and Clare

[FILO]

Sorry to hear that Chris

Filippo, Drew, the more the merrier, too late to take deposits now. Price is £10 per tent per night, to be collected by me at the event. Can't see any problems with turning up at 9.00pm Fil. I'll take responsibility for ordering your food and beer while your erecting your tent.

Might be on my S10 and there will be 2 others that I know of, so no worries on that front either.

Just to confirm I am still coming to the event and my ETA sadly will still be by 9 pm as I can't get away any earlier at the moment.

Fil.

Thanks for your kind comments all. My Dad was a lifelong biker, from prewar Aerial singles, through Dot trials bikes, a '68 Bonneville, and finally 750 Triton classic racer. When going through his things I found a Honda TL125 trials bike in an outhouse that nobody knew about!!

 

Back on thread - I haven't seen any ride outs mentioned for the Saturday, I know we all have different thoughts on routes/distance/terrain/speed/group size, so if you're looking for inspiration, have a look at the Ride Magazine route website loads of ideas for rides that can start & finish close to Dom's. I'll download a few onto my sat nav and I'm happy to lead* a small group on the Saturday. Maybe a few others do the same and we'll have some choice on the day.

 

* 'Lead' in my case is not that accurate a description - better described as "head off purposefully, followed by rapid decline to chaos. And cake"

Sorry to hear about your dad Chris.

Worked fine last year

The bar will still be open.
