Join us to keep EU Hands Off Biking, it's time for Action now!.

On the 25th September you can make your voice heard. Starting from service areas across the country, we all ride at 1pm, 45mph, using the inside lanes and disperse 20 minutes later. Negotiations are ongoing and as citizens we must be considered. This is the first time. Let's show what we could be capable of.

The list of start points is changing all the time, but as of today we can confirm the following, or see it here, visually http://tinyurl.com/Action-Now-EU-Hands-Off-Biking

Turns out some friends I know are going, so I'll be going. What time is everyone aiming to get there for? I assume 12:30 isn't too late? I can't find any info other than them stating it leaves at 1pm. For anyone at Fleet going northbound give me a wave/come say hi if you see this lid attached to a bloke on a new model Hornet:

That should be easy to spot. I should be at Fleet on a TDM wearing a white C3.

See the HD Centre has been added to cover the M60.

Well if nothing else it will give me an excuse to wash the bike after a gentle ride.
