Hi All,

Following the success of last year's run-in (22 cars from multiple regions) I'm once again organising something similar for this year.

Meeting Point Details:


SUNDAY 9th APRIL From 09:00am for 09:30am departure. There's plenty of space in the car park with a tea wagon usually on site. There's also a Costa Coffee next door.

B&Q
Priors gate,
Eaton Socon,
St Neots,
CAMBRIDGESHIRE.
PE19 8EL

Map:



The Route:

The run will be similar to last year, initially heading north up the A1 before heading out to the west to some nice sweeping country roads. The exact route is still to be finalised, but I'll have limited printed directions available on the day. It should be about a 45 minute run. I'm doing everything I can to avoid a cycling event this time!

Best Regards,
Olly

ETA: Event Date

Hi - I live in Peterborough but would like to come down to pick you guys up rather than just arriving solo (billy no mates!). Do you know your route yet?

Largely it is anticipated that we'll follow much of last year's route (Learning from last year - I can't find any published details of cycle events in the area thumbup )

Without going into a detailed plan here, the route will take in:


Great Staughton
Kimbolton
Old Weston
Winwick
Great Gidding
Elton
Wansford

then (depending on time) either:


A1(M) to Stamford

or

A47 (East) for 1 mile
Barnak
Pilsgate

You are of course welcome to pick up the crocodile at any of the above.

Cheers,
Olly

Disclaimer: Route subject to change without notice if I discover a cycle event to avoid!!!! smile

Hi John,

I'm not planning on coming through Glatton itself. Perhaps the junction of the Bullock Rd and High Haddon Rd is a suitable joining point?

Cheers,
Olly

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure on numbers. Last year I tried to keep track of who might join in, but it was more hassle than it was worth so this time I'm just putting it out there, and whoever turns up does so. From the discussions I've had I'm anticipating the same as last year, if not more.

Cheers,
Olly
