Anyone heading over from the the West Midlands? I'll be looking to go on Saturday (weather permitting) morning and heading back in the afternoon. Got a nice route plotted out. I'm not a fast rider by any means, so i'll be nice n' sedate with a few enthusiastic bursts. :smt003

I too was looking at doing the whole weekend after my annual jaunt to Jersey was cancelled.. BUT, things have changed.. We're now flying there, so can only afford the one day away from home instead of the entire weekend. If I can find someone to look after the nibs, I may well drag SWMBO along for the fun. :smt001

I intend being there by 1.00 p.m.

However, I believe Bobbi - BikerGran - will beat us all, by at least a day.

I'll prolly get there between 4 and 8 depending on when I leave and how many times I get lost.

:smt006 I should be there around 6/7pm as it will take 5h 36m to cover the 190miles according to google maps :smt119 :smt119 :smt119 (avoiding motorways)

but they don't have a motorcycle option :smt003 :smt003 so might well be earlier :smt002 .

Yes, Bobbi's already there.

I'm very much looking forward to meeting all these new (to me) faces.

Just had a chat with Davina. We may call in on Saturday for a few hours, sadly in a car but it will be nice to meet up with some old faces (and some new). If not then have a good time.

Sorry I couldn't make it. SWMBO works the weekend's and I couldn't find a sprog sitter. I'm sure there'll be an event at some point in the year that i'll be able to get along to.. Getting a bit desperate on the bike riding front lately.. :smt009
