My normal routine when watching 6-nations games would be screaming at the tele, giving the ref advice (I'm allowed being a qualified ref  :D ) whilst quafing multiple units of alcohol, so riding home from Leicester after that would be a no-no.
Plus wearing red in a sea of white might not be the best thing to do

Me too bud  :'( Tried to get another sunday off like last week  but then the ride was called off due to our wonderful English weather. My boss wanted the day off this sunday too though so guess who won  :(

So who from the sarf is gonna make it. I'm seriously thinking of  making a 24hr endurance of it and going straight from nightshift.  Have to see how I feel when time comes :)

There's a strong chance I could make it to this one, to make my Foccer Rideout debut!

Is the route still the same?

11:30 @ LE17 4BP??



I'm soon moving to Germany, so I'm pretty pleased I might get to come along once before I'm 'stranded' in europe!

An invasion of Foccers to my territory is something  not to be missed (despite the rugby) so count me in. I know the route well and it's a good one with some nervy bends to catch out the unsuspecting and a wicked hairpin outside Uppingham .


I'll be on my VFR (hope that's not a lynching offence still) as a cager took away my Gen 1.


Look forward to meeting you all tomorrow.  :lol

Despite my initial uncertainty with this, I'm in :)

I'll be aiming to meet the Lofo's at their stop in Lutterworth (J20 M1 right?) for around 11.00 - the same time they are aiming to arrive

I don't think anyone else from the South West is heading up, but if you are, I'm happy to join a convoy ^^ Not entirely sure which route I'm going to take yet :\

Yes it is the same, please take note that we are meeting at the entrance to the travel lodge  just off the roundabout at the junction of the A4303 and the A426 (rugby Rd.)


Not at the point google puts its pointer on the map of that post code.

Hi I ve never known the Foccers get to fussy over what your riding. If you know the route better than me it could be worth you leading parts of it and I ll play tail end Charlie. I look forward to meeting you.


You will spot me as I m on a Hornet. :\

So, where are the Lofo's initially meeting and what time ? I've been lucky with my work schedule getting both sat and sun night off, just got to appease my 10 year old boss women when I see her later today. Shame Oddball can't make it.
