I know its a waste of time asking, it never is anybody on here!

9.15 this evening, Blue or Black [it was getting dark] Clean & stock looking VTR, 2 up just turning off the main Stratford road down and heading down Spring Lane towards Reddich.

I was on me push bike, otherwise I would have chased you!

It wasn't a waste of time, but it wasn't me either....

Mines orange and I'm at work (Hampshire) at the moment.....

Weekends I'm often titting around the area as I stay in Tamworth - both me and P have orange ones.... (usually in Bikers World in Coleshill for a fry up... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Clive,
Might run into you at Bikers Clearance World on weekend. If I do my short ride out early sat or sunday I end up there about 9.30am for a bacon bap and a coffee.

i usually do this loop if I just have time for 60 miles and get home before the wife & kids are up!

So might be fun if you show me some good lanes nort of that loop.

My current favorite is to loop out to Stratford by back lanes, then to Banbury, then to Daventry, then towards Leaminton, then south on teh Foss Way and back home. Is a good 100mile with a bit of everything, but you need to go early or late to avoid the heavy traffic, and you need to keep a safety margin, as there a lot of blind bends which have small junctions before or after.

Was an MV F4 lying in the middle of the road last time I went, as a car had pulled out of a junction, and biker came round corner not imagining that there would be a near stationary car just pulling away! The paramedics were there, hope he was OK
