Sorry Chris, minor omission!

Meeting point is at J&S Accessories on the A40, OX29 4EN.

I'd suggest about 10am?

It's a shame I'm at carfest that weekend,  looks like a blast.

Just checked out the route, looks like I inadvertently did most of it yesterday from the A417 down to the A303 on my way from Pendine, pretty good run and some nice roads, should be fun

Wow, you really did come home by a convoluted route, didn't you  :lol

[Skippernick]

Add a bit to Bradford on Avon and pop into my Mum's garden opening and I'll serve you tea and cake if there is any left!

[noggythenog]

We need guarantees!

If it's going to piss down, all bets are off. A shower or two and we'll soldier on. We'll count on the day, as there are always some who have to drop out at the last minute for whatever reasons.

[stevie-g1968]

Im in, now it depends on how long this day will be as to wether il do it all , or have to bob off at some point.

nick, so what is the route ?  I know the roads out this way quite well, but not sure of pee, poo  and tea stops  :rolleyesand I guess we had better factor in a couple of granny stops too  for you know who...  :lol

See route in reply #59 "Version2".

First stop probably Cirencester. Next stop Chippenham. Next one, service station on A303 at Amesbury. Any others as required. Possibly a couple of options to peel off early for those heading back east to get home. Once we get to Devizes, we're about half way, and headed back to complete the loop.

Chippenham or Devizes probably also give you early drop out options Stevie.

[HarryHornby]

just putting it out there, why don't we all go to thruxton for the BSB instead of a big ride out.........  :b

[Skippernick]

I can guarantee tea, only guarantee cake if you get there early enough. Garden opens 2.30, its some pounds to enter and then you have to pay for tea and cake. All proceeds go to Macmillan Nurses.

Apparently in Wales it looks good wednesday thursday and friday and so thats enough time for things to dry out, washout on the roads cleared etc and then if England can stay dry saturday sunday that would be just magic.....you dont want it blazing sun anyway coz it gets too hot and too much glare.


I need a dry day to wash the bike...it is looking rough...it is a it ratty in all honesty...rusty fasteners here and there and what not.....it runs thats the main thing....just getting that out the way i heard how ruthless you were with Harrys bike


Best get my map out & hope i dont get lost too. :book
