Well the plan to pop up today has been scuppered, I thought I'd get a loan wing
Noo, just a way too tall 600 or 500
So I'm sitting in a cafe in the town centre trying to kill 8 hrs lol

Minor updates to Saturday route for those that use MRA - there's a road closure at the start of the route we'll need to avoid so pin 3 is moved and I've added pin 13 to make sure I don't forget the Classic Motor Hub!
GPX attached as well

It’s a large field and the Guinness it top notch
Well im back home,
They prioitised the wing , only because i looked like a sad fuck sitting on the bench outside, talking to the pigeons
Mind you i wached a trainee deliveroo take possesion of his new delivery steed
He had all the gear, helmet (too big) in his carrier bag
polyester trackie - modern day, loadsa money colours - grey
Trainers , no gloves !
And was given a dialemma he couldnt solve
He was told first service was 3 months or 600 miles - which ever came first
he worked out he'd do the 600 miles in a week,
So was told he needed to book it in for a service immidiatly - given the milage and lead time
the sums didnt add up there , so he wobbled off ready for his first pickup
Warrntey extended for a further two years (no payment required today either)
once it's cooled down i'll get the covers back on

Save me a spot if you can!
2-3 hours for 130km
Transportation in this country is utterly fucked.
Anyway, I'll be in a chipper mood this eve (also should be faster on the bike)
See you in a bit.

We are sorted
Is that the road closure on the A44 starting where it forks left to Stow? Encountered that myself today.
Have downloaded the route
Was that where the A44 is closed where the road forks to the A424 to Stow (if coming from Fish Hill)? Encountered it myself today.
Have downloaded the route and it comes out as107 miles.
I arrived at my digs, The Sun Inn in Hook Norton, about 2.45. I am about 1.5 miles away so will have to ride to you lot and stay off the beer until I get back to the Sun. No local taxi service, they have to come from Banbury and charge you accordingly and I don't fancy the walk on unlit roads.
See you all about 6.30.
Please can you add me to the food party for saturday night please
Ive booked a table, but will joining the tosser soiree lol

No it’s the bit where we’ll go through Little Compton to join the A44 right near the start. I expect it’s resurfacing work as the closed section was falling apart.
We should be ok at fish hill with the route we’re taking as we go straight down it.
That describes most of the roads in Warwickshire and all the roads in Northamptonshire.
I'll be joining you on your ride out tomorrow. Hoping to meet around point11, 12 or 13...then camping. I am bringing a little braai (BBQ). If you want a fire or ot cook, start gathering wood... I aim to bring some SA boerewors with ..

1) gutted to miss steeling some of your braai
2) what will you be on / any distinguishing way of spotting you?
At 11 there’s a side road just before the first roundabout where you can wait and should see / hear us come up the hill from Cheltenham
At 12 we’ll stop for lunch so easy to find us hopefully
At 13 coffee stop but not much ride left
