Whilst many of us are probably attracted to Lonewolf's proposal for a 2019 meet up in Scotland, I'm guessing that with the short notice and distance involved a lot are going to find it difficult to take up on it. I think it is a great idea in principal though and I'm encouraging him to pitch for something similar in 2020 which hopefully we can all get behind.
I'd like to see though if there would be any interest in smaller less organised get together and short ride later next month. Perhaps by reply to this post members could express interest and we can see if it is worthwhile doing.
I'm suggesting the midlands simply because, well, it's sort of in the middle. Now I know what you are thinking, you have seen a couple of series of Peaky Blinders and don't much like the look of it. However, there are some good bits – I know this because I've been to them both.
My suggestion:
Sunday September 29th
11:00 meet at the Food Stop Café, Quatford, Bridgnorth WV15 6QJ (popular biker's café, 11:00 meet should give people plenty of time to arrive.
11:45 A run into the Shropshire hills with a break at the Georgian market town of Ludlow
Loop back round over Clee Hill with a quick photo stop at the summit
Route back through Bewdley, finishing at Frankley services Northbound (M5 J3-J2) for a last coffee and chat, from there the motorway can be used go get home in pretty much any direction for those travelling a distance.
Any takers?

Sorry I am dutied to work :censored: or I would have been there that’s a lovely ride out done that loop many times except the motorway bit :yes:
Looks good .. even from the south coast but I shall be away Espania :cool:
OK, it looks as if the hibernation period may have started early :sad:
Perhaps this should be shelved.
Lloyd, I'll drop you a PM over the next couple of days to see if you fancy a run out as you are local.
Pete.
