If I can make it, I will. My friend who persuaded me to get on two wheels lives nearby - I wonder if it would be OK if he came along?

Also, the museum, for anyone who hasn't been there, is fantastic. Almost too massive to take in on just one visit. Would love to go again.

You'd be very welcome (all scoots are) and international riders especially. From your mileage I guess you're at Fairford or Lakenheath? OK on a P200 and there may be someone who'd ride along with you...

Change of date suits me. My son's birthday was on the previous date!

Pepy, I could drop down to Huntingdon and tag along with you or I could cross over to meet the Northants mob.

If anyone wants to meet me and ride down the A1 together that's fine.
I can sort out a couple of meet points to suit.

Shame, but I think 2014's going to be a BIIIIGGGGG year

Any more takers? Numbers looking pretty good...

Undertoker should be in if he aces his test on Monday. So maybe LousWheel, Wobbly, Undertoker and me for an M1 meet point and a group ride down 8)

Pepy,

What time are you leaving Huntingdon? I'll be having a coffee at Brampton Hut services at 8:30/9:00.

Let me know if that works for you as I know you may have made other arrangements..

C'mon - you can do it

Start early on Sunday morning, it'll be quiet...

60ish miles for me like Pepy, 80ish for Waspman, but if Dr Zoidberg turns out, he should take furthest travelled hands down - about 115m I reckon. Neil from IOW is sadly out as he's had to sell his Fuoco, leaving him a Lammy and P range that aren't quite up to long hauls.

Not looking too bad - maybe early shower, but the main thing is chance of some sunshine and temps above 10 degrees!
