Title: Canopy to canopy. A petrol head cultural ride out, may be.
Post by: chris.biker on 03 September 2014, 08:29:39 pm

I was looking at MSN and the listing of a petrol station canopy was reported and that lead me to find another one was listed in Nottinghamshire,( links below) I thought I must put them on my list to visit.
So why am I going on about it here, well I thought if a gathering was a popular idea up this way (Leicestershire) again it could be a ride out, feed back please.

Why go up the boring A6 when you can go - melton- grantham- newark, and why not then on the return add a loop past RAF waddington, and theres a good chippy in sleaford.
Like this https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?t=h&sll=52.9694689,-1.2733062&sspn=0.8894823,1.9698491&saddr=52.6676969,-1.1293576&daddr=53.257019,-0.9276571&dirflg=dh&output=classic&dg=ntvb (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?t=h&sll=52.9694689,-1.2733062&sspn=0.8894823,1.9698491&saddr=52.6676969,-1.1293576&daddr=53.257019,-0.9276571&dirflg=dh&output=classic&dg=ntvb)
 
Are you saying there is another canapy in nottingham, here is the Leicester one which would make a good picture with the bikes infront of it.

First sorry and thank you, Sorry I forgot to make sure both links were on the post , Thank you for sorting it out for me. Yes I was thinking a route from the one petrol station to the other, But on the most enjoyable route I / we could plan. So would it be fair to say there is interest in this idea.
