ToL Recce Saturday 27th June

Hi All,

BigNige and myself will be out on Saturday 27th June to ride some of the south Lincolnshire roads and decide the route for the Taste of Lincolnshire rideout.

All are welcome to join us, but please be advised this will be a 'dis-organised' day. We have no route and may well end up going in circles! However if you wish to tag along it would be great to see faces old and new. Here are the details:

Starting point: 9am Filling Station on Lincoln Road, Horncastle.
See Google map here.

Lunch stop: around lunchtime , The Plough, Holbeach St. Johns, Holbeach, Spalding, PE12 8RE
See Google map here.

Post up a reply or call me if you're intending joining us so we don't leave anyone behind. I don't know what time we'll be at the pub, but I expect around 12:30. Call on the day if you want a more definite time. My number is O79O3 4hundred468.

Look forward to meeting up with some of you. I hope the weather holds - it's fantastic here at the moment. Think I'll pop out for a evening spin!

Cheers,
Chris

Sunday you can be as engaged as you like The Recce is on Saturday

Can anyone else smell a Numpty Point ???

I recon it's a fair coment, having seen my navigational skills in Wales maybe Ellie was thinking we may not be home till late Sunday

( seriously I estimate 140 ish miles from Horncastle by the time we get to Wragby by late afternoon )

well you already know i will be there but as discussed i will be waiting for you on the road facing the right way as i will fuel up at the other garage on boston road as it's on a level!!!!!! - not sure but may have neil with me if thats ok and depending where we end up and what time i'll no doubt let you get on with it half way through the afternoon when you start heading north again!

Good plan we wouldn't change the route just so you had to do a U turn would we

I'll have you lot know i did 3 u turns the other week so i will be there bright, early, bushytailed and bleary eyed having fueled up at the garage down the road before executing a perfect u turn further up the road from you lot out of sight of an audience oh and i'll be on my own as neil is deserting our company for a bloke on a Harley and burger at the (very nice it has to be said) Harley cafe at Deeping see you in't morning and i must warn you ezzy is sounding a little blowy again - think i need new gaskets now

i must warn you ezzy is sounding a little blowy again

May I suggest you ride at the back tomorrow?

You'll also get advance warning of any sneaky U-turns we might spring on you!

Looking forward to it. Ride safely everyone.

Chris

Had a great day - thanks Nigel for sorting it and the food etc. Really enjoyed it, and no mishaps (except for the salt incident but i think we'll find that in a different thread!). Looks like TOL will be another good trip again.
