The route has been drafted, but this year will be entirely within Lincolnshire. 
200miles of Lincolnshire's finest roads and quite a few hills! Believe it or not there are some parts we still haven't visited!
We'll also visit some interesting places and invite you to have a real taste of Lincolnshire and sample the local food.


Tastes of Lincolnshire is the marketing campaign for food producers in Lincolnshire. Now, if you do an image search on Google you'll find pictures of food and plenty of pictures of bikes and site members on previous Taste of Lincolnshire rideouts!

Hope to see you on the 6/7th.

Cheers,
Greencat (Chris)

Hills in Lincs. are called speed humps! Lol

There are hills I'll have you know.


Look! I found two....







But the lack of  inclines is made up for by the abundance of superb roads.

 Lethal they are, I nearly lost my pillion first time in Lincs flying over some of them

Ellie, that second picture is what I'm worried about - my legs still haven't recovered from BC, own fault really keeping up with people half my age and weight.

I'm up for this, Big Mac is off the cards due to work commitments. but I was going to come on the rideout anyway, count me in for the weekend, should be fun!!

Steve I'm bringing mobility scooters for us two next year lol!

Woodall Spas fairly flat Steve, you'll be fine lol. If not there are taxi's, you just need to book them 3 months in advance! And a bus service that runs once a week!

there  are  3  hills  ellie  the  other is  a  book maker
pete

Woodall makes BC look like Mount Everest, nothing to worry about Steve 

The hill question was asked 'tongue in cheek' ~  ~ should have used

Good for a bit of banter tho', thanks for confirming mountains haven't started to appear - seen quite a few of them lately, sorry Chris for hijacking your thread

No problem Steve.
Good to see some posts on the thread.

I'm away at the min, but will post some more details of the event next week. Thanks to all who have expressed an interest in attending I look forward to welcoming you to Lincolnshire. 

Steve - I'll see if we can arrange a scooter to transfer you from cabin to bar and back again. There are enough wealthy retirees in Woodhall Spa for you to end up with quite a posh ride. Just hope they don't notice it's gone before I get it back!

Ellie - thanks for taking on the role of Marketing Manager, the cheques in the post 

Route to be finalised, but it will make full use of the available hills, and the bits in between will be pretty good too!

Most kind of you Chris, thanks Would it be too much to ask if it was owned by a wealthy widow? Looking at my retirement options, and it'll sort out the issue of getting it back before it's noticed it's missing

I think I've lost my brownie points for life now

ToL Update

Dinner has been booked 14 for the Sat night at 7:30.
They will email me their specials as soon as they are available and I'll post it up here.
We need to pre-order our food a couple of days before the 7th.

Twin rooms are still available at the venue. £40 pppn B&B
Please call to make your booking and mention you're joining the 'MEAD' party!

I've not made any plans for the Friday night (6th).
Indian/Chinese was suggested, but this will require a taxi or ride into town. Or we can remain at the venue.
I guess this depends when folk are arriving?
What would you prefer to do?

Chris

Venue was good last time we were there Chris, it's easy for peeps regardless of arrival time? I'll go with the majority though

 

What time do people normally arrive? and where is the usual meeting point (pub) if there is one?

I think me and Alleycat and possibly helmet Dave will most likely arive mid-late afternoon and get set up at the campsite. We will most likely want to venture out for food so will be open to suggestions if people want to meet and eat somewhere.

Cheers

i will be arriving about 5ish as im coming off nights so need some sleep ist

mmmm BSB at donnington that weekend too might go race day
pete

rather excited now, got a new tent and everything  

Happy Days

Getting closer.

Last day a job today, starting New Job on Monday. Earlier than originally planned but Saturday is still a go.

Have put a set of Iridium plugs in the other night, and although I can say there are more horses it definately fires better.

What else can I get done with the Redundancy loot before ToL - Drift HD720 Camera's are on offer for £99 at the mo, guess I would have to point it backwards to film you guys tho!
