There seems to be a little confusion going on? The route is pretty much as the map I posted earlier in the week. The only detour as far as I see, is just popping into the raven, and doubling back a couple of miles to the A525 doing normal route I'm not even going to attempt to ride the A487 down to CrossGates as we all know this is where the main interest is for missing April Jones. There has been large sections closed or severe disruption. The route I had planned misses the "hot" area by some 20 + miles. The weather looks to be playing fair so All we need to know is who's going to the Raven?and who's going to Lymm? The guys plan to leave the Raven around 9.30. That will I presume mean anyone meeting at Lymm? Will need to be on our way from there around 08.30. If no one states Lymm? Ill just go from Blackpool straight to the Raven and meet Si and RR8 Hope that helps guys?
Robin. With the route shown, unless I'm totally wrong, it won't pass Rhug estate. The nearest is The A495 and the A5 join at Oswestry.
Got you, I had forgotten which side of anywhere the cafe was. I shall do my best to be at that junction for 10.30 (?).
So it seems we've got the riders, although some still to confirm, and where they are meeting? Which is The Raven Cafe "Midway truck stop" where RR8 group will be leaving from at aprox 09.30. Or Lymm services to leave no later than 08.30 so as not to miss the main group from the Raven. If it does all go tits up, which it could do? CrossGates Is the first fuel stop should be there around 11-11.30. We have the weather? Although take note of Givs warning of early frost, some of us further afield will be setting off quite early Metcheck.com - Weather Forecast for Today and Tomorrow in Oswestry - Updated every 6 hours.
See you at the Raven between 9 & 930 then Gary. I will be on a RED RR8 and Si from this forum will be on a Black / Carbon RRA plus a couple of mates not from round these parts, but don't worry their friendly and good lads. We are meeting some others in Crossgates cafe 11-1130 Should be a good day
I believe the Southern Softies from Kent have a rideout tomorrow............they're meeting around eleven 'cos it'll be a bit cold on their little handies.....Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Certainly should. A mixture of riders, I won't need to worry too much with so many people on this run that have done it quite a few times. Just incase I get delayed by being stopped by the police tractor ;
Hello Gary, I`ll see you at Lymm services at approx 8.15am Can you drop me a text if this is ok ? Will be on HM Plant No2 or Legends bike No1..........not sure yet. Cheers Jon 0774 087 2089

Hey it's the bikes mate , no other reason I won't be at no cafe , I will be on the road around Whitchurch first thing , Then when you come towards Oswestry , and on your way back in afternoon , if someone will text me when your at Crossgates on your return
Yep will do Barney. I'm off to my pit, soon be 05.30. Well, I have to check things another 10 times, just to make sure
