Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March

[Hedgetrimmer]

Hope fully this works and shows the route I had in mind.

Looks very similar to the "Rutland TT" in Bikers' Britain tour book. Apparently there's a good diner just off the route at Great Casterton - "finest burgers and milkshakes in Britain". Mmmmm

With all the stops you lot plan for mc donalds- pork pie- cafe-milkshakes, its gonna take a focin week to get round

Be a shame to miss the stilton factory

And that's simply because of the amount of additional weight the poor bikes are going to have to carry

The day could be historical. For on this day the middle earth people rode with the lofo's to create the FAT FOCCERS

Right can we stop talking about food you're making me hungry,

some questions about Sunday what time do we plan to meet at jct 20 of the M1 and is there going to be a mass LoFo ride up and where are we meeting?????

I'd rather have some non-motorway time rather than all M25/M1.

[midden]

Have you plotted an Essex route?  There is always the A5 up the left of m1

[kitcrazy]

hows about the a413 and a5?

[dazza]

Good call Red Ceri, I will be looking to hook up with Lofo's south of the river. Shall we meet at Blackheath again then hook up with the others ? If so, what time at Blackheath and who's gonna  be there ?

[kitcrazy]

i'll be at blackheath just say a time.

[kitcrazy]

my bro inlaw is meeting us somewhere up the 413 he's not on a fazer  k1300r.is that ok?

Stop talking about food? Never!    Just picture those lovely burgers, dripping in fat and ketchup, onions falling out down your jacket 

As well as meeting times, where is there for us all to park up at J20 M1? A layby, service station, what?

I was planning on everyone gathering in the entrance to the travel lodge on Rugby Road Lutterworth. You come off the M1 at Junction 20 and head east towards Lutterworth and then turn right again towards Lutterworth and as soon as you join that road from the roundabout you take the Right turn.

Chris, I think you meant to say turn WEST off M1, what time shall we meet 11am/12? if we LoFos meet at 9 (wherever we meet) that gives us 2 hours to get to you and just enough non-motorway playtime.

Any other LoFos like to make any suggestions?

Yes turn west, don't worry about that little mistake ( I m only leading the way ) 


Time how about splitting the difference and make it 11.30.

Hey  in that case maybe Noggs will get his wish as we pass by his town

[chris.biker]

Here is the post code of the Travel lodge meeting point LE17 4BP.
Meeting here at 11.30am  tomorrow.

I can be at blackheath for 9 aswell but maybee we should meet somewhere more convenient for ALL lofo's to get to. Ace looks good if we wanna shoot up the A6 so maybee blakheef @ 8:15 and move to ace for 9. That gives us 2 hours to get to market harborough for 11. That sound ok? Who's comin anyway ...red ceri, kit, midden, red, dazza, stig, bri, Arfa, grandma, me..Anyone else?

[Exupnut]

So far.... Looks reasonable to me... Hopefully it will change for the better :-)

[kitcrazy]

Thats not looking great 

[fazersharp]

I think the weather is saying do it another week
Its a long wet ride for those lofo boys there and back.
Its put the thought into everyones head and it will happen but not this sunday.
Im out I think unless there is a drastic weather change
