I have a day of freedom tomorrow (sat 21st ) and wondered if anyone is able to come out to play?                                                                                                                                                                             

Yup I am. Where you plannin on headin/                                                                                                                                                                              

BigAl was organising a ride out round warks this sat , check with him :)                                                                                                                                                                              

I didnt have a destination in mind, was just seeing on the numbers lol , i am meeting another BM'er at quatt cafe at 12ish                                                                                                                                                                             

Never mind i'm now tied up till 12.                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm going for play today - I've programmed the Garmin to do eith the cotswolds or the national arboretum - Ill decide later on                                                                                                                                                                             

A shame - on me jack - went for the ride to the Cotswolds. Took in Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, Leamington, en route. Chipping Norton, Chipping Campden, Snowhill, Charlbury, and an ice cream and stop off at Broadway. Then came via Banbury and Northants, Leicestershire back up to home. 120 miles and 5 counties - a great ride. Maybe next time....

hey next weekend al, give me a shout if your gonna go again                                                                                                                                                                              

yeh me                                                                                                                                                                              

It was such a great ride - I'm happy to do it next . The ice cream in Broadway is to die for ;) . Even bumped into a fellow scouser asking about the bike - he thought the Triumph big beast was mine.   I've organised a pass out - so if you want to do the ride next Saturday - it's a mix of A, B, Single tracks. Some great scenic views, beautiful villages - the best available in the area. Ma Larkins (RIP) is nearby, this is a biking country.   I planned the route on Mapsource the other night and riding it today I was surprised by how good the route is - top notch. I've ridden this area for a while but the GPS took me places I'd never consider taking - 120 miles of sheer pleasure!!   The ride with stops will take 5 hours, so be prepared. As I enjoy a glass of fizz, my intentions would be to start at 12 noon at which point I will be PTW safe :)
