Having a Dave day,

Planned ride from the Ace cafe all the way up to Barrow in Furness with multiple joining points on route.

Anybody else joining this, planning to join somewhere near junction 36 of the M6 but not ride all the way into Barrow or may just find a suitable vantage point and watch it roll past.

Looks like its going to be an epic ride out by all accounts.

Joined this myself at Burton In Kendal services.

Got the half hour early expecting a few people mulling around already and was staggered to see the place absolutely rammed. With more arriving by the second.

Followed the ride from here down the 590 and pulled over at the petrol station at Newby Bridge to watch the ride past, we stood there for over an hour with a constant stream of bikes coming past us, we left the services to head home at 4.15 pm and rode back up the 590 towards the motorway to witness thousands of bikes still heading in towards Barrow.

The ride, the bikes, the people standing on bridges, grass verges etc, etc.
Made for a remarkable day, one that we may never witness again and the biker community should be proud of what a day it became, the people who came out to wave and the people of Barrow - I applaud as they made the day something special as well.
