    After riding the Lincolnshire roads all weekend on the company bike attending to breakdowns, I have put together a few roads for a rideout on Sunday if anyone fancies it. A couple of little stops along the way.

    Start at Grantham at 9 o'clock, up the High Dike and across to Sleaford on the A153, hit the bypass for a couple of miles and pick up the A153 again to Horncastle with a stop off at Cadwell Park as there is a Hottrax bike track day going on so get some refreshments and watch a few bikes go round the circuit.

    Set off from there on the A153 and pick up the A157 just outside Louth and ride over to Mablethorpe, fish and chips on the beach maybe.

    From there, head back to Louth on the A157 and pick up the A631 at Louth and head on down there to Willingham Woods where there's always bikes, especially when the sun's out.

    Leave there and head to Market Rasen and pick up the A46 to Lincoln and on to the A607 at Bracebridge Heath and back to Grantham.

    Good roads, lots of corners, some nice straights and some well timed stops along the way.

    If anyone's up for it let me know.

    Meeting point will be MacDonalds in Grantham, maybe grab some brekkie there

    Bugger. Turns out I'm working in Hull on Sunday.
    Still, double time means more cash to spend on the bike :eek:

    should be a good rideout, the roads are brilliant, plenty of knee down action. turns out it isn't just a trackday at cadwell, it's a club racing weekend so should be a decent day to go and watch some racing. we should get there in time for the 600 and 1000cc races as well as the ducati desmose race.

    They may be charging for entry in that case. Check the booths on the way in just in case.

    Hi James, if its macdonalds your all meeting it's more or less on the same road as Grantham Honda, from Honda into town and its on your right.

    I've just picked up the tread, I'm free Sunday but I'm not sure I want a full day, I might. Meet you all at willy woods and ride back with you, I'll see nearer the time.

    I'm half way through fitting my yoshi. Grantham are having an event day Saturday, book yourself a ride on a new blade!!!!

    That's the exact meeting point. Unfortunately Honda may be shut at that time so that will kill the temptation. Let's get a good turn out lads, will be a nice day. I know it'll be hot, but that means one thing, hot Tarmac = sticky tyres ;)
