Full Tanks please … prior to leaving or at least 100 miles range
Roads contain those lovely yellow signs telling you of Accident Statistics of prior years …
This is not a full on Progressive ride … So do not expect a hoon … ( it may contain playtime moments) But as always you ride to your pace …But will keep it as a GROUP ride as much as possible …
Have got an appointment with an estate agent :sick: at 10am so won’t be able to join for the start … but if you’d be so kind as to PM me stop off points - and a rough idea of timings … just in case we can take a boring/direct route to catch you and enjoy an interesting indirect route back?
