Anymore folks interested?

I've invited a friend, who now lives in Bristol, to join us on Saturday, he rides a BMW S1000RR & his GF rides her own bike, a Suzuki SV650, hope this is OK with everyone else.

Totally fine with me. All bikers are welcome, even those on inferior bikes  :alas:

In preparation for the weekend, I've now transferred the Basecamp routes from my PC to my Garmin Zumo 660 sat. nav.

On checking the routes against each other, I noticed that a couple of the waypoints had not transferred successfully.
On the return (red route) for Saturday, the Anchor Inn at Fladbury & Sally's Place BC were missing & had to be manually added on the sat. nav.
This may just be a glitch on my device, a "heads up", for anyone who has got the routes.

I reckon I'll be there as well but I've got a cricket game in Worcester so I'll probably peel off early

Excellent, the return route between the Anchor Inn at Fladbury & Sally's Place BC near Malvern by-passes around the south of Worcester.

The forecast for Tewkesbury looks dry, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636071, for that reason, "I'm in", see you there.

We'll be on the road by 10:00.

Many thanks to David for organising and leading a VERY enjoyable ride out yesterday. It was great to put some faces to forum names, and meet some very friendly people.


We rode through some fantastic Countryside, and the pace and planned stops meant it was a very relaxing day of riding.


Just got home, having travelled just under 500 miles in total.


Tim also sends his thanks and kind regards. After too many Sambucas in the bar, he inadvertently locked himself out of his room at 3am, and had to go to reception in his pants to get a duplicate key  :alas:
