Tuesday Nights - Hartford Marina, Cambs

[Sk93]

nah.. I doubt they'll not catch you in a car if you change lanes... that sounds too much like an old wife's tail to me

unintended hijack ended

[Jive]

The A606 isn't the greatest road in the world, but it has its good points.

For one, its very smooth; no potholes or subsidence issues.

The amount of traffic the road sees deters horseriders, so no pooh to avoid.

There's a couple of 90 degree corners in there and a hack of a lot of sweepers and S-bends. The only real "bad" bit is navigating through Melton Mowbary - the traffic can be a bit pooh, but the upside is you're not in it for long

on the whole, it's far more fun than A1->A52 or A14->M1 for definate!

(but, as appose to the M1, you do need to navigate Nottingham's ringroad.. but it's not that hard really )

 

I'd concur with you, the A606 is the way I go to Donington Park, it's a great route especially now you by pass Oakham Melton is always quiet on a Sunday but where do you turn off for the MFN? Do you go right up to Ashby de la Zouch? Or do you take the road to Nottingham, know the junction but can't remember what road number it is

[Sk93]

yep. all the way up to south nottingham and join the A52.. which takes you around notts centre until the Ilkeston / M1 turning (can't remember road number..).. then it's that all the way to MFN.

(I live in Keyworth, which in the penultimate village before the A606 ends)

BUMP!

weather looks ok at the moment - anyone going this week?

[nman1]

Yep, Ash is coming over and I`ll leave it up to others if they are. I`m leaving mine at 6.30 as usual so if you want to ride over meet me in the car park outside my flat.

[Grumpy Old Git]

Not such a good turn out - probably due to the earlier bad weather. Shame really 'cause SK93 came over from Keyworth.

Hope there are more next week.

PS. looking to go up to MFN next Wednesday eveing (20th) if the weather is OK. Meet up at Neil's Car Park (Brampton) for a 6:30pm start. See new thread in Southern Ride-Outs.
