Ride Out/Meet Up

[Shadwell]

I have been looking at the location of the guys who have said they are coiming down for this meet and The distance between Rich (London) and the 3 from the northwest is about 4 - 5 hours.

Although not a massive distance in itself - if we meet up specifically for a ride out the distances between meeting/ride out & getting home would become quite large for some.

Therefore i am proposing we meet up around 12 in the afternoon around the M1/A14 Junction. (Location to follow). 2 - 2.5 hours riding each.

The primary purpose for this meet is to get together for a brew and to discuss routes/must see's for September so i suggest the "ride out" portion of the day is getting to the meet up point.

Before i fix a meeting point any comments?

Si, do you fancy meeting up to ride over - back roads of course. Rich we could also meet up with you on the M11 somewhere if you want.

Right this is where i propose we meet up to discuss the trip to Morocco.

From Junction 19 of the M1 take the A14 East for approx 15 Miles just past Junction 4 there is a services which has an Esso station, an on the Run Cafe and more importantly a McDonalds. we will meet there for 12 o clock Sunday the 07 Mar 10.

For those with GPS N52 24.882 W 000 47.415

I believe the Postcode is NN14 1SS

If you are coming westbound on the A14 you will have to go to Junc 4 turn around and head east.

Could you reply with if you can make it. Maybe come with some idea of what you want to acheive over the trip - Off road, Camping, Hotels, Dune riding, Beaches etc etc etc.

Rich let me know soonest if you cant make it because it would be pointless meeting up with out our leader

Look forward to seeing you all

Good to meet you all

I will watch this space for updates.

Took a short cut as a road was closed, what did I let myself in for.
It got worse, no chance to take pictures as just trying to keep bike upright.

 

[Shadwell]

Good to meet you all.

First impressions mean a lot and i think id enjoy travelling for a bit with you all.

Thought about what you said about time in Marroc malcolm and i am starting to agree so i may try and get a bit longer off work to extend the trip by 4 - 5 days.
