Did another look at the run today, this time i managed to do it on a motorcycle,  evening pub of choice will be the castle bar in market square, There are plenty of choices of places to eat in the town, Start will be in the old fire station Car park in Lorton street, Set off 10.15 sharp You need a full tank of fuel, because there are no fuel stops on rout, which should be no more than 140miles! |

At 140 miles I'll have to go REALLY slow to make a tankful stretch that far so I'll offer to back-mark to avoid being drawn into competetive riding by the unruly mob.  |

Actually with only a month to go, I have the rout almost complete! I've become so exasperated by your misspelling of 'route' that I've put it in the profanity filter to be auto-corrected . EDIT: Corrected for my own spelling errors . EDIT a bit more: Dammit - now everytime you type 'route' it adds another 'e'. So I'm taking it out the filter again  . |

Since you dropped a bike on her foot? nah, that was a while before, she does mention it regularly though, if its any consolation, in fact I mentioned it Sunday, that it was good to have her willing and able to throw herself under the bike again! |

I was going to do another trial of the border raid, but the weather this weekend is atrocious,
I must get a bike taxed before next weekend, the tax on the Fazer runs out at the end of the month!

Is there going to be a 'sightseeing tour' on Saturday afternoon as suggested above ?
I only ask so I know whether to get there for lunch and a run, or just the evening soiree.

Ok I have just been pub hunting in the town and the intendied meeting place was chocka,
So with that in mind we can meet in the globe hotel which is on Main Street from 7.00pm onwards, we can always move on later in the evening,
Sunday run will be assemble at he old fire station on Lorton street in good time for setting off by 10.15,
If anyone needs my mobile number, or postcodes, give am a PM, as I don't like posting it on the open forum,
Saturday bimble will set of from the old fire station at 2.00pm and will be a short sightseeing tour of the northern lakes, with a coffee stop at the filling station cafe in Keswick,
There will be a fuel stop around 100miles,
The end of the run will be in Ambleside, though if bad weather I may shorten the run to a more convenient location!
