And there's us thinking your first name was "Big". Must be an anatomical description then....

Well, Bedford gets included in the Eastern Region but doesn't strictly count as East Anglia . . .

so, to compensate, Lisa and I will venture to Black Notley, near Braintree, this weekend and take up temporary domesticity within the zone. Anybody up for a little ride out Sunday morning?

I'll be on my blue & white 1150GS; she'll be on her mandarin yellow F650GS.

And, er, mine name's Simon and hers is, er, Lisa.

Most Definately.

Mrs Animals TT has been bought out of Hibernation, so it's about time she took it for a proper run.

Anyone else up for this ??

How about meeting somewhere round St Ives / Huntingdon, then going for:
Soham
Newmarket
Haverhill
Finchingfield
Biggleswade
...then on the the B660/B645 if anyone has any engery left.

Sean:
Your itinerary/route would have been ideal if we were still in Bedford, but we're travelling down to Braintree on Saturday. Maybe we could meet up at lunchtime in Haverhill after your morning ride. That might suit anybody coming from the East and you and Mrs Animal coming from the West - maybe Steve Currell from St Ives and Big Al and his missus from Royston might join up.
I don't know anywhere in Haverhill to meet up. Anybody from the East got any suggestions? Anywhere outseide Haverhill, more rural, to meet?

Bugger, missed that bit.

I'll have a look at a Map...

Animal · Mar 13, 2003

Simon...

Depends how far you want to travel before we meet up really...

We could go for 4-went-ways (Mildenhall) where there's a nice Burger-Bar for Breakfast if you want a long trip,
or somewhere just South of Bury-St-Eds, although I don't know any Cafes round there
Or you could go West, for a meet at the (newish) A1M services south of Biggleswade
Or we'll just meet you at Finchingfield for Elevensies

I'll leave it in your court

Oh...

I'm gonna take this to a new thread to (hopefully) drum up some more interest

I'm in Chatteris, near Ely.

Currently on a Bandit 1200, but will get a new black GS in September.

Will be looking for rides out once the new machine arrives.

Why is it that people do the place down? Lived here for the last 5 years and seen the value of my house rocket, so can't complain.

It's something to do with stereotyping, webbed feet and picking carrots

To be fair village / town snobbery exists throughout the UK and there will always be surrounding areas doing another down.

I live in Bar Hill (Tesco village) and that gets run down a treat by the surrounding olde worlde villages but who cares - it serves my needs.

I also worked in Chatteris for five years and it just doesn't have the same kudos as working in Cambridge or London.

Anyway, you have the last laugh - the Somersham to Chatteris road - what a piece of tarmac to sort the men from the boys!
