Midlands Newbie Ride-Out

[StevRS]

Lots of people have passed tests recently and bought bikes so I thought it might be interesting to go for a newbie-paced ride out somewhere in the middle (cos that's where I am and it's my thread ).

Any takers, thinking perhaps last Saturday in the month taking in the peak district or some other nice roads - open to suggestions - possibly dropping into Matlock which is always crawling with bikes & bikers on a weekend.

Experienced riders welcome, though I expect the pace to be quite steady as I'm selfishly aiming this at noobs who'll hopefully all be of a similar pace.

What does everyone think?

I go down from Northampton to the London to Brighton run from the Ace cafe every year, sure it isnt exactly like riding in the peak district the atmosphere is second to none, around 50,000 bikes where down there last year.

Anyway, ill be leaving Northampton around 9am if anyone is up for it, its Sunday 14th of September.

sounds awesome I am closer to Daventry perhaps we could go down together?

I'm in Wolverhampton and would be up for a ride. Not exactly a newbie but my bike will only do the ton but will cruise at 80 all day. Bassets Pole would be a good place to meet for me.

I'm in Brighton on Sunday. Going to see some friends on Saturday. Where do you all meet up in Brighton and what time? Not sure if I'm riding down. Depends on whether I can get my new toy in time!

What did you finally go for?

[Distant]

I'd be up for a newbie pootle, though I'm in Oxfordshire so might be a bit of a trek for me.
