Post by: Zebedee on June 08, 2014, 08:55:42 PM
Ok so the Mrs has decided that she ain't gonna come to this one, so I will be leaving Norfolk on Friday morning. And can meet with people on the way. So post leaving point and time and will see how many I can pick up on my way :)

She must come along tell her, a lot of the ladies haven't met before so it would be nice for them to meet up......

The majority from the east are meeting at wheels motorcycles ( i think ) details to be finalised this week, then we are picking up Boomer along the way I believe  :yes:

She wanted to come but she cannot get the time off work to leave early and don't fancy the 5hr straight line slog and arriving at midnight.

Wheels 10:00 to 10:30 is good for me.

Can I suggest we have a 'leaving no later than' time of say 11:00 ? Otherwise if someone turns up at 10:45 and wants coffee and bacon rolls, departure time slips towards midday.

@doebag totally agree, have been there before and we were an hour late leaving.

Oh and personal 'grips my shit' thing. Bikes fuelled up ready to go, I hate being on the road for ten minutes then stopping because one of a group need fuel.

@doebag oh and that really gets my back up, sounds like we may just get along :)

You guys doing this route are very strict, is anyone allowed to stop for a wee if they need to or do they have to hold it till you arrive at the Bellfry?  :mfr_lol:

Leaving tomorrow, picking up my wife at work and direction Calais, where we will overnight. Small hotel, great food. We should be at the Belfry Friday early afternoon or so.
Weather looks good on this side of the Channel, how about, Gloucester area? See y'all there. :biker3:
