If that's a reference to something it has gone completely over my head... or its way beyond my years... or both.

I'm pretty certain I know about 3 footballer names... but I can list every single character from every video game in my dvd stand...
Dead Eye does not do physical sports. Far. Too. Much. Effort.

Just the mind numbing tyre squaring off bit there and back to overcome :rolleyes
Hope fully this works and shows the route I had in mind.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - midden - 18-02-14
Don't have to take the M1 up
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - simonm - 18-02-14
This looks very plausible for me, it's a good route and there is a nice/nasty hairpin (for me anyhow) at http://goo.gl/8vyI2e :-). My favourite route is this one: https://goo.gl/maps/474jY
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - chris.biker - 18-02-14
Hi Simon, on my route that stretch from Bourne to Market Harborough I have not done before but it does look good, so glad to hear your comments I m hoping to get the chance to do the route before hand.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - RobG UK - 21-02-14
if you turm south down the 6003 at Uppingham the views are pretty good, then turn back up the b672 and follow the signs to Morcott you will be on Deefers favourite roads where he used to scare the shit out of me lol

With a week to go, here's a little bump:

Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Red Ceri - 23-02-14
A week to go, what time is the planned meet at M1 jct 20?
Want to plan a route from Essex that does not spend all time on M25 and M1 travelling up and squaring off my tyres.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - chris.biker - 23-02-14
I am not to worried what time we set off as I live in the area, I have looked at the long term weather forecast and it is saying unsettled possibly very wet and cold. It would be nice to see a who are planning on coming now it is a week away.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Punkstig - 23-02-14
If it's rain showers I'll come along, if they forecast crappiness then I shall leave it.
Be good to do though as I should have the Nitron rear shock and front forks rebuilt with new bushes and Ktech springs on Saturday!
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - dazza - 23-02-14
I'm with Punkstig on this, if it's pissing down I will give it a miss.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - nick crisp - 23-02-14
Really want to do this one, but I'm the same about the weather. We'll see.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Lez72 - 24-02-14
I've booked the day off work for this one but as others have said, if its raining its a no go for me. Totally weather dependant. Sad, I know but I ride my bikes for pleasure and I get very little pleasure from riding in the pouring rain.
