    I'm thinking of going for a buzz this weekend... Quick check on the weather makes Saturday look better, though probably won't stay dry all day

    Starting in or around Preston about 09:30 (TBC once i know if anyone fancies it)
    Head towards Knott end
    Through to Glasson Dock
    Pass through Lancaster
    Up to Caton for a bacon butty
    Carry on up to devils bridge
    If the weather is good then perhaps up to Hawes (leave it!) but maybe not
    Then back through caton
    Over Quernmore which leads back to A6
    Back to Preston

    Any one fancy it? 125's welcome.. it won't be a race day :)

    Oh good, a few responses then :)

    I'm thinking if we start at Preston docks at 09:30 for a fairly strict 09:45 departure... (I was going to nick the idea of tickled trout, but for this route i think quite a few would end up having to come back on themselves, especially L-plate 125 riders who can't just jump on motorway)...

    I've just put a rough version of the route (without Hawes) into Google maps and it says there is 3 hours worth of riding...

    So with breaks and taking it easy we should be back no later than 14:00 - 14:30?

    Cheers :)

    If we say Homebase car park... Next to McDonald's.

    (McDonald's or across by the burger van would be handy, but on Saturday morning it's likely to be busy, so go into the homebase car park and turn left as it'll be quieter there)

    There is a Morrison's petrol station next to here, but can we all make sure we're topped up and in homebase carpark before 09:45 please :)

    I'll be on a blue Yamaha SZR660
