Northants (ish) blat ?

Arsey · May 3, 2022

I’m planning on taking a new Tiger 1200 out tomorrow and have the bike for 2 1/2 hours, from Wellingborough.
I know the area to the south and west but not in the other direction.
Can anybody suggest a good 2 hr ish loop that would include some nice twisties and not too much traffic, in this area ? Ta muchly.

Wellingborough.....you have my pity.

I was born just down the road, thankfully I fled to join the Navy at age 16 and never returned.

Enjoy the ride.

Do the “Rutland TT” or any part of it. Some decent roads and should be quiet(ish) during the week. www.motogoloco.com/blog/the-rutland-tt-motogoloco-classics/

The B664 between Uppingham and Market Harborough is a great ride....

Not sure I can average 100 mph.
That would just be nutty.

Rutland TT route,

I have several locations there for my Roadside Photography, a few Motorcycle publications are based in Peterborough and use the route for testing and reviews, some local (kit car) motor manufacturers also use the route, can be busy at weekends and I take thousands of shots a month around there, here's a link to a recent Shangton shoot

Download yourself a best biking roads app…. Failing that B660 from Bedford is slow (50mph) but good fun.
