Sun 28 Aug = Cotswold Day Out

Post by MellowYellow »

LEAVING Willy Wicket ( Badminton Rd. BS36 1 DP) at 10.00

Fuel opposite Coffee and lunch stops c. 140 miles or so.

If weather is grotty, am reserving the right to go next day (Bank Holiday Monday)
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

What sort of pace are we talking, isn't everything slower in the Cotswolds. 300+ round trip to the start line might need a cushion for the return trip and possibly a new rear boot....definitely interested :D

That's one decent trip for you - where are you coming from M ?

Pace will be 'normal' I suppose. I try to have some pretty bits and some fun bits. We should be back to the A46 / M4 junction by 15.00

Only St Austell, I want to do a long Europe trip, so doing long ride outs is helping with the bike choice and with the mental part of, do I really want to ride 4000 miles on a KTM. I did 24k miles up and down to Telford every week on a CBR 1000 a few years ago and found it easy and enjoyable, but shortly after getting this Adv I rode it to Essex and frankly would have preferred walking back. :D
