Might take you up on your offer Punkstig if you still have room.
I know Nick's put a bit of thought and leg work into this one and I'm sure he's planned a cracking little route for us, so would be rude not to + Noggy's coming all the way from a foreign country.

Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - noggythenog - 16-07-15
Lucky im on a red thou....all the cheek i dish out im due a few hidings :evil
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - noggythenog - 16-07-15
Anyway....Nick has also kindly offered me lodgings at Crisp Manor House so not only are these LOFO's the most 2 wheel sociable but are also the most accommodating...my grandfathers family did hail from ye olde isle o shepey though so perhaps im drawn to my roots..........nah.....i dont do London :b
Still hefty journeys to either punkstig or Nick but Nick unlucky for you you're lodgings are a whole 1 hour closer.......but ill be having an epic warm up for sure via some of Wales finest roads.....and eateries of course
.....gotta get in proper training so i can show how foccing much of a fat bastard i am :lol
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - red98 - 16-07-15

Hope you enjoy pizza btw cause I ain't cooking a proper meal!
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - Dead Eye - 17-07-15
This is shaping up to be an epic LOFO ride... though I agree that the foreigners are certainly taking over from the actual "London" folk
Definitely looking forward to this
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - slimwilly - 18-07-15
Haha those Londoners are scared of getting nose bleeds so far out from home..or bitten by sheep or eaten by a Cow :eek
this looks like fun,,things are shaping up in my busy life,,every weekend is booked for summat :o
as well as looking after (well helping to) two little foster kids,love em..
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - Red Ceri - 18-07-15
Are there any actual LoFos left, :eek
all the last few LoFo rides I've been on everyone has come from outside the M25, maybe we should be called OLoFs (Outside London Foccers) :lol
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - sadlonelygit - 19-07-15
if i may offer a slight change of route as this is my manor you slags :lol .
cheltenham to winchcombe to toddington, turn right onto car manufacturers test road to Stow. go straight on to A436 and miss moreton, unless that's a tea stop.
the charlbury to burford road is best done that way............my own personal test track

That's a shame, I can't make this one, I'm having a family day at the races.
British super bikes at Thruxton.

I've refined the route a little:
Version2
I had considered via Winchcombe and Cleeve Hill down to Cheltenham, but decided to try to keep it more flowing. The Charlbury section will do for the tight B road stuff - especially bearing in mind we may have up to 10 bikes in this convoy!
I'm also thinking about the guys doing quite a distance just to get to the start point, so don't want it to get too long.
I've kept Moreton, as the A44 from Chipping Norton to there is a lovely stretch, good surface, winding A road. The route will be done anti-clockwise, partly because I think that the Charlbury section wants people to be fresh - the road has several places where it could easily catch out a tired rider!
Ah bugger, ignore the little loop at Amesbury! Just used the town as a waypoint.
