In conjunction with Simbo, based on the ride leaders, back markers and those NM's who normally ride out together, we'd like to propose the following two riding groups.

Simbo, Michael, Dave, John(GTR),  John(Sullivj) & Tim, riding Anti-Clockwise.

David, Darren, John(beemerboy9),  Mike & Markus, riding Clockwise.

Haven't heard recently from kwarrrt1200 or Taz. I hope this is acceptable to all attendees.

Should anyone else wish to join us, you'd be more than welcome, I'm sure we can come to some suitable arrangements.

There is outdoor seating at the pub adjacent to the PI at Peterborough. I for one, will not be sitting inside the pub.

On the Saturday circular ride out, the nearest we get to Leicester is Market Harborough (15 miles away),  with a P&T stop at Uppingham (19 miles away).

The PI booking link says, "We're sorry, the restaurant at this hotel is closed on your selected dates".

Looks like it's a BBQ plus some tinnies, and perhaps breakfast at the first P&T stop of the day.

There's always just eat, uber eats and local takeaways for food 👍

The NM's are meeting for lunch at Willingham Woods near Market Rasen on Friday. We'll be riding down to Peterborough from there in our socially distanced group of six.
We've got a scenic route planned, our ETA at Peterborough is likely to be around 5:30pm.

What are the SS's up to?

There are still rooms available at the inn, or if you would like to join us for the day ride on Saturday, we will be departing at 09:30 from the PI.

If anyone would like a copy of the routes, please just ask.

I'm planning on getting to the Premier Inn around 7.
Is there a plan for meeting up in the evening?

Good question Mike, not sure what the answer should be.

The restaurant will not be open, don't know if this includes the pub. I plan on taking a picnic and weather permitting, likely to be sat outside.

Simbo is arranging the weather.
