I haven't knowingly met any of the gang yet (though I have to admit every biker I pass now who I nod at, I wonder "Is they one?"). So do I now have to bring my vaccination certificate? Blimey, maybe I should bring the car to carry all the paperwork :D

to date, i am the only one who has turned up to one of these in a car - :)):


nope, just bring yourself, some mates, a pillion, it's up to you.

no papers required unless it's the folding kind to buy a coffee or two. Just turn up, relax, don't panic if there are more than 5 bikes out to play and get stuck in.

we will give a run down of the days plan, a route will be stuck up on here when i get round to planning one with a link to google maps so you can have a look at it.

starting point will be somewhere with a source of fuel, food and water closet rooms.

main aim is to have a laugh and introduce some of you to new roads and bore others with old favorites. keep an eye on the thread for weather updates etc. i know it's going to be deepest winter so the route may not be the longest due to available light on the day but i will do my best to make the most of it.

If you man up over that distance won't it get a bit uncomfortable ????

I wouldn't do that! I saw Blue Peter once do the same thing to a tortoise, and when the spring came, they couldn't get him going again!

Provisional circuit, it's a bit shorter than usual but i think we may run out of sunlight otherwise :( :( :(
