East Anglian Bimblers coming up to the Boil

Post by ipswichbiker »

Is it too early to start planning a route? Surely not. Any one local want to meet up and ride up together.

I went to the Caribbean on holiday with my wife last year.

Jamaica?

No, she wanted to.

Sounds like a plan, but I won't know when I can leave until closer to the time. If SWMBO has shifts that weekend, it could screw things up a bit.
Was probably going to follow SatNav unless anyone can suggest otherwise.

I'm thinking of Thursday 14th or early Friday.
I believe the address is Takoda Camping, A685 just five minutes walk North of Kirkby Stephen, CA17 4AP
It's about 4hrs or 220 miles or so from here, with the A1(M) being the most straight forward.
The end of the road is the start of the fun



A bad day on the bike is still better than a good day at the office

Hi Mark, If you have enough time on the day, leave the A1 at Bedale and take the A684 then at Leyburn the A6108 until just after Downholme take the B6259 all the way to Kirby!
Cracking ride & scenery
cheers Marc
Too many Cagiva Elefants, Gran Canyons and Ducatis!
Azzalin SP and various others.

Hi Marc,
Are you going? and if so when, what time etc, I'm sure I/we could swing up't North to meet up if you like.

I was also thinking of Thur/Fri. The weekend is right in the middle of the end of term holiday so I might try and stretch it out a bit.

Hi Marc,

I will be going but not sure when yet. I`m heading off to France tonight working until the 12th of April so if it runs over I`ll be tight on time!
Ive got to endure 7 days without email and the forum (no coverage on the first job and the nearest McD is 40 miles away)
3 weeks without my bike!
& 10 days without GF (she`s flying out)

I dont know which I`ll miss the most? ..............ouch stop hitting me :pinch: :pinch:


But if all goes to plan I`ll link up with you, i`ll be setting off from near Driffield, Whitby nature rally site is only 40 mins from here if you want to grab it?
cheers Marc

Arse! Just found out I'm tied up for most of the Friday, which means I'm not going to get going 'til later than I'd hoped. Not sure exactly when, but I hope to be there before dark!
