so the 27th and 28th of July is good for me as I will be in the USA till the 10th July riding Max.
What we need is confirmation about where this meet will take place.
Obviously we are all over the country so might I suggest we pick a central location that all of us can get to without doing hundreds of miles for some.
If all that can attend the event on these dates email me there location I could put a pin in a map for everyone and triangulate the closest point in the map for all of us,bare in mind that some will have further and some will have slightly less miles to do ( some are happy to do 500 miles in a day but not me ) this seems the fairest way for all,everybody has different finances available.
Once we all confirm an area then we all can agree on a map location for one day if we can all make it. Once we have confirmation we could arrange the press to attend.
Thanks Windy, I notice you posted this also on the original page. This confirms we are going to Hulme End in the Peak District which is a site Pablo suggested. I think we need to come down on one side of the fence and say " this is where we`ll go"
There is a camp site for those who want to imbibe in the Manifold pub a few minutes away. Date 27th and 28th July. I think I will get there the day before - (the 26th) with my tent so I can relax and meet any early arrivals on the 27th.
Just a reminder lads, weve got the UKs first ? VF1000 meet up on the 27th & 28th July at the “The Manifold” pub right next to the Hulme End Campsite, Alstonefield Lane, Hulme End, Buxton SK17 0EX
Can you start to let me know if youre thinking of making it and if youll be camping / B&B`ing it or just turning up on the day ?
Not a bad idea Phil, but considering the time scale and wanting to keep it reasonably low key to start with personally I prefer to stay with us lot of hoods initially and see how we go.
Its not my show ( btw) Im just the sucker who`s put his name forward to set it up.!!
Anyway, Im off for a few days on a bike charity run to the Stelvio Pass.I,m slightly embarrassed to admit Ive borrow a bike from my mate ( BMF800GS) cos I dont want to pack up on a trip like this - people are sponsoring me per mile !!
Back by Weds, averaging 500 miles per day x 4
Cheers
Martin
Hi Pete, I think I,ll get there on Friday (don’t work Fridays) so let’s say “outside Manifold Pub” at 10.00 on the Saturday ? By the time we’ve all gathered in, had a brief chat etc we can take a ride out for a few hrs round Matlock area and back to pub by 16.00 and home for the “day only” riders. Sound good for everyone ?
