Ok anyone that wants some info on route for this Saturdays excursion are as follows.
Starting from The Downs we head towards Aylesbury on the A4146 picking up the A41 for a short while and heading northbound towards Buckingham on the A413. We stay on the A413 through Buckingham until we hit the A43 north of Towcester which leads us onto the A5 for a short sprint up to Daventry. We then pick up the A361 all the way(and through) Banbury. The A422 is the next road we latch onto, and follow this all the way to our destination Stratford Upon Avon.
We can stop in the square where there of plenty of places to eat and a nice pub on the corner which also does some nice and reasonably priced food.
Depending on weather and how people feel we can take various routes back.
The planned route back however is the A3400 to Chipping Norton and then collect the A44 onto the A34 towards Bicester. Just before Bicester head onto the A41 back towards Aylesbury. Anyone then coming from London could head back towards the Ace or back over to our starting point of Dunstable.
I have no idea of the mileage but their are plenty of fuel pitstops along the way.
99% certain Iām not going on this, but on the way home you could go along the B439/A46 to Evesham and then the A44 to Chipping Norton, That way you take in Fish Hill. If youāve never ridden it just think the twisty bit on the A40 near Stokenchurch, but about 3 times as long. :D:D
Hi All, Iām fairly new to this site and donāt really know any of you. That said, I wondered if I would be welcome to tag along on Saturday? I just bought a new bike and want to ride it somewhere other than around London.
Shewoolf, presuming I donāt get told to p**s off I could meet at the Ace as I live in North London and donāt know the way to the meeting point.
Of course youāre welcomeā¦itās only L-platers we have to say no to. Iām sure there will be a few leaving from the Ace to guide you to the meeting place. See you Saturday.
Well Im not gonna try and keep up with you n Brooks this time, as Iāll have a pillion and chasing you 2 last time the 'bird got squirilly on the bendsā¦'kin fun tho :D:D
Looks like weāre going to have a good turn-out for tomorrow. Thereāll be a few few from other forums, as well. And the weather should be sunny, too.
Just a quick noteā¦
Please arrive fully fuelled. We will wait until 10:30am for sure, but no guarantee weāll still be there after then (although all things are possible.lol)
