Ok  first point the get together is the main point.


Hunstanton is the best ride I have a route that is quite scenic and twisty, 80.1 miles and Google puts it at     2 hr 15 min


Skegness is nearer at 68.8 miles with a worth while tweak Google put it at 1 hr 51 mins.


Not sure who will be coming, and where from so there is time for those interested to state what they would prefer, if people wish to make it here from across the country then that is a trip in its self and those of us who are local can take our turn at hosting.


If the weather is poor then that to would stop a trip further. I m away for the next week so by time I get back this will either have died or have a con-sensors  of a plan.

I might come depending on the weather, any of the Hull lot wanna join me for the ride down?

Oh and I'd prefer Skeggy but will go with the majority.

bugger we are away at a show which is a shame, if you are doing them on a regualr basis, might be worth making http://www.mablethorpe-motorcycle-festival.info/ a meet up point for a future one, and seeing if other foccers from other areas might join up

I think the best thing to aim for for this get together is to limit the get together to Melton Mowbray as it appears the cold weather is heading back, I will keep an eye on the weather forcasts as the week goes on, and looking forward to meeting up.

Just to bring this into peoples minds again, the weather is looking cold over the next few days with possible snow, but Sunday is forecast at the moment as warmer.  Any feed back welcomed.

I'm still planning on being there :-).  Heated grips now fitted :-)
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one.  Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

I have a 3yr old who is up at 6:30 every morning so I'll probably be there early (if I make it at all whilst alternating between confident and petrified) if anyone wants to chew the cud :-P

If the weather looks poor can we keep it local so people can head back if they feel like it ?


Would that be better bigsteve ?


Other routes could be discussed too ?

OK cool, we have three on the way but it's an hour to Melton Mowbury so bear with us if we are more 10AM than 9:30.
