Re: LOFOs August 2nd ride out. - fazerscotty - 31-07-15
I'm trying to appease the gods and moving the planets so I can try to attend.....
Noggy - try the A40 out of Abergavenny, all the way past Ross-On-Wye, jump on the M50, until J2. A417 south until village of Staunton then cut across some B roads (heading for Cheltenham), cut through the metropolis of Cheltennam, back out onto the A40.
Just a thought - its a route I've used (and abused) for years........

No idea how many coming, so if you are, and you think you'll be a bit late for the meeting time, gis a call.
Just to reiterate, meeting point is J&S Accessories on the A40, post code OX29 4EN, at 10am.
Skippernick, don't think we'll have time to detour for tea and cakes stop but cheers for the offer.
