May Day

Rookie · Post by **Rookie** » Mar 27th, '06, 02:19

Well, this is hardly local, but it's such a big event it has to warrant a thread.

There is a large group of us heading down to Hastings for the May Day run, and myself and Jon B from here will be going from the Somerset area. I thought I'd take the opportunity to invite anyone else who wants to tag along. We're looking at prospective routes and Jon thinks the A303 is a good bet; the less motorway miles the better, really.

So if anyone wants to come along, or just wants some company for the ride down, we'll be there!

Can't make the run - but can give you some advice on which roads are good up in Hampshire & Sussex if you want

Why Hastings??

Well we are actually meeting a lot of people from BCF at Boxhill the morning of mayday anmd I believe we are heading down to hastings with everyone else.

Boxhill

haven't been there for years ... it's THE big Sunday morning meet up that way.

Best route is A303, then head across on the A272 (nice road), then A29 (very fast straight, watch out for the camera), A24 (boring but fast dual carriageway). Watch out for police and cameras up near Boxhill, they're out to get bikes - I think they've made it a 50 limit too.

I do a trip up to Sussex once a month, takes about 3 hours (sticking to the speed limits of course

)
