Nene Run 2011 23rd-24th July 2011 Planned itinerary is as follows: Saturday 23rd July: There will be a short afternoon run starting at Super Sausage Café on the A5 ½ mile north of Potterspury. Leaving at 1pm we will have a bimble around the South Northants and Beds countryside ending at Ecton about 5pm. www.transportcafe.co.uk/supersausage.htmlSaturday evening there will be a get together in the Three Horseshoes in Ecton along with a BBQ if there is enough interest. For those planning to stop for the night there is a hotel in the village called The Worlds End (TWE). I have negotiated a special rate of £40 per night for a double/twin room including breakfast. You will need to mention the Yamaha Diversion Club to get this rate. www.theworldsend.org 01604 414521 Sunday 24th July: Run will start at 10:30 from the Mackworths Cafe on the A6 just north of Finedon. Cafe opens at 9am. There is a petrol station opposite the cafe. Run details have not been finalised but will be about 140 miles. Run will end about 5pm near to the A43/A45 near Northampton.

A mate who runs a disco needed the use of my bike trailer the other day. In return for this favour he has agreed to provide a bit of entertainment on the Saturday night of this run . We are looking to invite the local branch of the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Owners Club down for the evening. Shaping up to be a good night. Hope to see you there
