We can then plan the SS meeting points and plan a more interesting route than boring motorways.
If you want to do a route for the SS ride up then get on with it :lol: ...personaly I just want to get there as quick as poss so prob do the M ways...

Added to that it gives a chance for others to join in along the way...

The last run we did this...

For the Southern Softies Ride up & meeting points....
OK so here is what I've come up with...

A multi point meeting run...Thought it best to make the meet points service stations so you can top up if ness. This is the route I will be taking so you can meet up along the way at any of the meet points.

Each meet point has an approx arrival but a firm leaving time...

Distance & time between points is via google maps so whilst the miles is firm the timings acording to them are not necessarily correct due to the posted speed limits, traffic & road works ect.

A/ Brook Street services off J28 M25...CM14 5NA Aiming to be there at 07.15 leaving at 07.40 sharp. Its then 26 miles to...

B/South Mimms Services off J23 M25...EN6 3QQ Aiming to be there from 08.00/0815 & leaving @ 08.40. it's then 70 miles to...

C/Watford Gap Services on the M1... NN6 7UZ Aiming to be there from 9.40/50 & leaving @ 10.15 sharp...

Which should then get us the 30 miles to the National Motorcycle Museum B92 0EJ @ 10.45 ish...

Apparently the venue is open from 08.30... I will check with NMM via email to confirm.


So as said all arrival times are dependent on traffic, roadworks & unforeseen Traffic issues.
Don't forget your passports & translation books as we're going north of the Watford Gap...
Also bring lube as your gonna get butt feked by filling up at the M/Way service stations...

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

:thumbup: will work out if we need an extra tent or not, but I think we should be ok.

If I put the Luke clan in the 3 man tent, Gabi, Emily, victor and Mark in one 4 man tent, and Tony, Mac, Jamie and yellabell in the other 4 man tent.... It's all sorted.

Important info for the day.

Venue is now fully contactless for payments. So if you want to use the cafe it's card only no cash.

Re Covid the Museum is mask at your discrection. If you want to wear one feel free. If you dont no ones gonna pull you up on it.

I have mailed them today re the area to use. Last time it was the area to the right of the main entrance, gravel area so a puk is a wise move.

Finally can I get a simple ''YES''reply to this post if you are attending on the day, so I can get an idea of numbers this is for the Museum. Thanks Mac

No that trouble maker aint coming...

I asked Fabio if he was coming over but apparently it's fighting season over there that weekend so he needs to be in to protect his family...

So I might give him a proxy ride out...

Either that or General Bolacks can come...
