    Who's up for an August Bank Holiday ride out?
    Get your passes in early and choose a date 23rd - 25th.

    Feel free to post suggested destinations.
    I'd suggest Mablethorpe depending on weather and traffic.

    Have to admit that I normally stay off the roads on a Bank Holiday as too many numpties and Plod about. Might be up for a bimble with an early start though is weather is OK.

    Plod don't get paid overtime anymore - government cuts. Bank holiday = double time = zero plod.

    I don’t normally ride during bank holidays, to many idiots on the road but I could be up for this, fine weather dependant.

    Although I am trying to take some time off the last week in August so could be going away for some guaranteed fine weather.
    Sunny Hunny could be a good destination, seaside with lots of bikes and a chippy lunch.

    Is this still on, if so Sunday looking the better day for the weather so far, however we all know how wrong those forecasts can be, until about 2-3 from the day ;)

    Yeah, although I'll take any of the dates if the weather's good. Maybe I should vote on all 3 dates just to make the poll look busy :D

    I have plans for Sunday :). Don't forget it is BSB at Cadwell this weekend so there will be plenty of plod around that area.

    Yep.. and it looks like L is trying to book a trip to the sunshine leaving Monday so Sunday might be good for me.

    I would ask her for a pass but seeing as I am only getting the odd grunt at the moment, Its mostly pictures no sound due to the last few weeks of all work and hard play. So I am keeping my power dry just at the moment.

    Carl is also keeping a low profile on this at the moment, is he in the shit as well ?

    Nope it's too late, you all voted Monday :p
    Poor old Gary's gonna miss out though if he can't do Sunday as the weather does indeed look the best choice and with destination Hunstanton and if you're comparing tyre choices then I'll drag mine out tomorrow and grab a quick photo while giving it the once over.

    Looking at the map we shouldn't have any issues with BSB traffic, but I'm wondering if I should be looking at meeting at where the A15 meets the A52. Thoughts?
