Sorry its been a while chaps (been far too busy) but the new improved backroads blast is back!

I apologise in advance for the fuel stops, as I wont be on a GS, I will be on this:

Dont let that put ya off tho.

Meet at Walkers Cafe, Mildenhall (bottom of A1065 near Fiveways roundabout) ready for 10:00 start.

Riders of ALL standards welcome.
Just keep it safe.

Route as map below.

As always,
The organiser accepts no responsibility for the actions of the participants.
They do so by their own free will and in the knowledge that they are at
all times in sole control of their machines, therefore will be responsible
for their own safety.

Rideout Etiquette PLEASE READ!


*PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO COME ALONG!*

Good plan.

Actually I can get 90 miles out of a tank which isnt bad, but there should be a few more coming that get less than that.

Ive changed the route slightly since the last one just to keep it all twisty for the mootards. Should rock.

Fell off going over a jump – 20’ fall flat on my back followed by the bike landing on my chest – CR250 not the GS luckily Hurt a lot Had to lay in a field for three hours without moving whilst the ambulance tried to get to me – air ambulance was out of service

Body armour did it’s job though and got away with no broken bones just severe bruising and one serious case of back ache. Can’t move at the moment so my mum has come up to look after me = bliss

Should hopefully be back on the GS for the weekend, maybe
