The second Ladies’ ride-out is being planned, exceptionally, for the third Sunday of June, i.e., 18 June. Normally, the rides take place on the second Sunday of each month, but that date this month has the British GP and the BMF Garden of England show competing for the attention, so we decided to move ours one week later.
This will be a one-day event, starting at the Ace in the morning (not too early, as Liliana can’t cope with early starts), and end up back at the Ace in the late afternoon/early evening.
Please put your names down here if you’d like to participate. Please copy the previous list and add your name to that, so we make sure nobody is dropped off and everybody is included. Please include your bike details, as well as if you’d like to be in the blast or pootle group, so we can get an idea of the number of escorts needed. This is flexible, though, so if at the Ace you decide you’d rather be in the other group, you can.
The plan is at the moment to have two routes, both finishing in the same destination at the same time, one for those out for a blast (e.g., Andrea) and one for those out for a pootle (me).
The route and the destination are still top secret, as they need to be tested and timed by the Routemaster. We will probably have four escorts for this trip, whose names will be made public later, but they are sworn to secrecy.
Paivi? i am waiting on Julie to let me know if she is going? Dont know what group she will go in but shes got a cbr600rr. Will let you know this weekend. Brenda has to get back to me as well and again will let you know? Alison is going to let me know to? Think Alison has a Virado…not sure nowdays if shes changed it…but will get back to you on all this? Thanks mate!
HOLD UP? WHERES ABBEYJ? WHEN WE SPOKE AT CHELSEA BRIDGE LAST FRIDAY SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO GO ON THIS RIDEOUT AFTER ALL, AS SOME OF US EXPRESSED AN OPINION THAT SHE SHOULD COME ALONG?
Paivi - Ducati Monster 695cc - Pootle group
Weaver - GS500 - Blast Group
Stephanie - Daytona 600 - definitely blast group!
Andrea - R6 - try blast group, with clenched teeth
Dunno what the route is but there is bound to be places where one group’ll wait for the other. If not, there’ s no point in going on the same ride out is there ?
And I dunno how fast the fasties want to go, but surely it won’t be excess of the speed limit so they won’t get too far ahead anyway
