Brecon is 168 mls from me. Bit far. Coast sounds good?

Leicester to Brecon about 140-150m I guess. TBH too far for a day trip. It's going to wind up around 500 miles for me. Can't afford the fuel or the arse cream!!

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

how about skeggy then , leave at 5 some   and then back home for 10

[Oldfart 0]

Sounds like a plan

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

anyone else up for it ?? I will be going regardless

[ptolemyx 0]

Some simple arithmetic........leave home at 5 and back at 10 = 5hours.........less one whole hour for breakfast = 4 hours.........at 65mph average for a typical ride out (including fuel stops) = 260 miles.......is that about right Dave? Then you could go as far afield as Scarborough, Rhyll, Abergavenny, Bath or Andover perhaps?

A few of the gang local to me will be meeting at mine about 9 - a 3hour blast to lunch where we went on the B-King ride out in April and another couple of hours afterwards  

Old and Disgraceful

yes about right m8 , I am deffo going skeggy , looking forward to clear roads and some cool air , skegg is 90 -100 miles from mine

[smilinjack 0]

If you can average 65mph going to Skeg you would be doing very well. I can't go anyway-must get my head down this weekend and do a VAT return and replace the central heating pump.

Think that will be doable at 5.00 , but not on the way back , anyway do your vat and pump when you get back

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

 if your talking to me I think you have your wires crossed , I was going at 5 right  from posting this thread , I had no idea you was going , Robbie said he might join us if I texted him when I was there ,but we was there at just gone 6 and he said he would not be up at that time of day , by the way think I saw you going that way when we was coming home ,

[jezza 0]

Did not see you, I got to Boston for 8.30. I did not do the dual carriage way  , I went via Grantham windy route way up there as it was nice and quiet.
I wasn't gonna meet up at 5 as it would have meant me getting up at 3.30 , just thought I may have caught you up there.

Got some wedding photos for you and Mel , I'll drop them off sometime or pop them in the post.

 we went and came back Boston way , we only passed 1 car in all that way going , but like I say I had no idea you was even going , it wasn't till I seen on face book when I got home just after 9.15 you was there I put 2 and 2 together and thought that must be the blue busa I seen ,

Dunno did not see you , mind you it was drizzling from Coventry onwards and the visor was continuously getting smothered ,only see a couple of bikes and did not recognise them.

Like I said I'll try to pop round with the photos for you.
