Saturday morning I told Mrs A I’m taking The 250 out for a spin. Plan A was to meander over to junction 28 of the A12 and maybe catch sight of one or two of the route C clockwise riders on their way through and give them a wave. Slim chance since only 10 riders chose that route but hey ho. I estimated their ETA as 10 am which turned out to be bang on, three riders came though at about 9.45. Then just before 10 this Hayabusa passes and it all looks so very tempting.
Plan B - I’ll ride with them down to the Brighton check point and then head off back home. Plan C, plan D, plan E…
Long storey short put another 1,018 miles on the clock and got home late.
What about the 500? I’ve got a non-motorway route that takes in all the check points and includes a run down through the Lake District and across the Yorkshire Dales. Its only 537 miles which, assuming we can average 48 mph, equates to about 11 hours saddle time. With a 5 am start we’ll be back well before dark!
