Bumpity bump...thanks to Exup for the route (weather warning - be aware that I will be keeping an eye on the forecast as if its going to be persisting down, a good think will have to happen. I don't mind the rain, however, I generally get a good enough soaking Monday-Friday on my commute...not sure I want to do so on a Sunday....just a heads up) This is usually a really good ride out, and it's a great way to meet up with fellow BMers, new and old. No pressure, just a bunch of like minded idiots....sorry people....having a good day out.
Everyone welcome...New, old and anywhere in between.
We ride to slowest rider (the speedy freaks usually entertain themselves). No one left behind.
If you have a 125 don't worry, just let me know so I can speak to Exup re the route.
It would be lovely to see some more female riders as well.
If you a have a pilly seat free, please post on the events page.

I am looking at making it a weekend jaunt! Looking to pick my bike up from Cleethorpes (don't ask!) And heading westward on the Saturday ? and meeting the rest of you guys on Sunday morning ...so is there any reasonably priced (read cheap!) Place to recommend for Saturday night within striking distance of the meet up on Sunday? ??
