What sort of pace are we talking, isn't everything slower in the Cotswolds. 300+ round trip to the start line might need a cushion for the return trip and possibly a new rear boot....definitely interested

That's one decent trip for you - where are you coming from M ?
Pace will be 'normal' I suppose. I try to have some pretty bits and some fun bits. We should be back to the A46 / M4 junction by 15.00

Only St Austell, I want to do a long Europe trip, so doing long ride outs is helping with the bike choice and with the mental part of, do I really want to ride 4000 miles on a KTM. I did 24k miles up and down to Telford every week on a CBR 1000 a few years ago and found it easy and enjoyable, but shortly after getting this Adv I rode it to Essex and frankly would have preferred walking back.
