Can't do this Sunday now either now. Working on site in Cannock on Fri and staying in Shrewsbury after. Will be riding back down to London on Saturday. So Sunday is only day I've got with family.
Anyone riding South on Sat want to hook up? Will be doing Shrewsbury, Bridgenorth, Kiddie, Worcester, Broadway, Chipping Norton, Bicester, m25.

Yep, that's my plan, through Middle Barton. Done this route a couple of times, isn't bad. Bit boring on dual carriageway from Aylesbury to M25 and East London though. Don't know of a good alternative short of riding round top of London by Hatfield/Harlow etc. Similarly the stretch Kiddeminster to Worcester is a bit boring too. Probably leave Shrews late morning, take it easy, afternoon tea in Cotswolds and aim to be in East London for 5-6pm ish.

Yeah, Aylesbury to M25 you're following my canal!

Get your arse on the rideout exup, we need more blue to slow the pace :b
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - Dead Eye - 29-07-15
He really is slow lately; pretty sure that bike hasn't done much more than 100 miles in the past 12 months
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - HarryHornby - 29-07-15
Stiggy, it's not a case of getting the insurance, I got it the other day, but it's made a big dent in my monthly wage especially as this month is school hols (and our annual week away).
Just means I'm £100 down before I start this month, so can't justify a £70+ weekend away. I reckon petrol will be about £50 based on 10p a mile.
Just can't afford it now, gutted, was looking forward to meeting some new faces.
As red says.... next time.
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - noggythenog - 29-07-15
Just looking at the google maps and it looks like my Saturday ride to Oxford will be pretty epic in itself.....not faffing around or cheating by going any M4 rubbish..twisties all the way....might even cut off from Monmouth and do the Forest of Dean road until I get back to the A40. 8)
A40 then all the way apparently although ill probably get lost trying to find your place Nick but ill get on the case with where to turn off on the A40.

I'll come out and meet you. PM'd.
Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - Red Ceri - 30-07-15
Noggy, be aware that the A40 is closed just west of Gloucester and you get sent on long a detour, we found that out last week when we went to Pendine.
You'll hit it at the A417 junction going east and A38 going west.
