After a few beers Friday, and watching England v Argentina on Saturday morning, Im heading back home to pick up the Mrs (dont tell Tash I called her that!). If anybody fancies joining me, I can make this into a scenic slow/medium paced rideout.   Would be leaving the site at 12.00 for a 1.5 hour ride through some stunning countryside to mine, where The Borders Classic  Bike show is on that weekend. Stop there for a while, £4 each entry for anybody who wants to look round the show, or tea/coffee etc in my garden(100 yards from the show) for those who dont. Then a 1 hour ride back to the KISS.   I say this will be slow/medium pace as it'll be on the more scenic roads in the area, so will be well paced for 125's aswell. Here's a link for the bike show:   http://www.classicbikeguide.com/news/hailwood-honda-to-...rders-show   If anybody fancies it, just say here, or find me Friday night or Saturday morning watching the rugby.                                                                                                                                                                              

sounds good mate                                                                                                                                                                              

Foe those that fancy a more challenging ride there will be maps of the area covering a radius of about 50miles from oxford out to wales so there will be something for all levels.  Maps will have some cafes and rest stops marked if you know of good stops that are not on there please add them for others benefit thanks
