Meet & Ride - 6th July - Tamworth to Aberystwyth

[Virt]

It is confirmed, I shall be attending

If it is alright with you lads I would like to bring a friend who has just passed his test so he will be restricted and a bit of a novice. As I say, if it is alright with you lot. On the plus side it will be a twin he is riding

YAY! I won't be the only restricted rider

[geodude]

Anyone can join this ride as long as you all promise to ride your own ride

As we adopt the 2nd rider drop off system, there is no reason to have to ride hell for leather to catch up. Someone will be there marking the junctions.

If/when overtaking in the group, just make sure the person you are passing is aware to avoid any potential problems.

No one local has stepped up with route recommendations yet so I'll put something together.

once we get the otherside of the M6/M5 there are lots of good routes, its just a bit crap to get from Tamworth out to the otherside of Wolverhampton.

My knowledge is realy for the south of Brum, so hoping someone local and north can step in to get us into shropshire

[geodude]

I only picked Tamworth as it was at the centre of England

Maybe something like this stopping in Newtown for eats?

I thought Meriden was the center of England?,

Chip on the sea front at Aber? Well to be honest I don't care where I eat, it's the riding I go out for. You know me, too much sitting round chin wagging and I get impatient. There is petrol needing turned into heat and waste gas and it isn't going to burn itself

Your supposed to be losing weight not putting it on.

Mmmm maybe that why Al would like you to have a £5 bag of chips.

(:-})

[BigVeeGrin]

what is defined as the centre of England I wonder?

might pencil this in - if anyone dragging out the south up to the north I might tag on, only if i go that is

[geodude]

Oh yeah, I said that already!! lol Tamworth to Aber it is then (unless its snowing)

lol @ Carl. I pinched some of my daughters chips the other day and they tasted disgusting.

[lloydie]

[Virt]

[lloydie]

Yeah sure. I can deal with listening to a nice V-Twin for a bit longer

mine dont sound like the rest of them it only has one exhaust
still sound nice tho

[Ckennedy]

What is the postcode of where were meeting? I don't know Tamworth very well. And I may be localish but I'm still not sure of any good routes down that way.

[Virt]

True. Gives me time to decide whether I should lose one exhaust (I'm not the biggest fan of exhausts on opposite sides, sorry ) or just go for scorpion high levels when I can afford it and after I lose my Restrictor ;D
