Hi, I used to live in Kettering but now live in York's, I know that isn't going to help you with your request but I am taking this opportunity to welcome you BM and let you know there quite a few of us in your area. Don't be afraid to enter the chatroom, you will be made very welcome. Chat has been a bit empty recently but most of us suspect that is weather related, now It's getting a bit grimmer out there I'm sure chatroom will be frequented a int more in the evenings. Look on the events page for things going on in your region and get yourself along to some of them, you will find riding buddies in no time.
Yamgirl why not put your name down for the Hallowistmus fancy dress party and come along and say hi to the Midlands group and some of the less desirable members from up north
