Members routes to Firebladeday 2010

So all of you know, I have listed everybodies general locations on the Comitted attendees thread : https://firebladeriders.forumotion.com/fireblade-day-2010-f99/committed-attendees-for-fireblade-day-if-not-on-list-add-y-t5791.htm

In order for anyone wanting to ride with others to Firebladeday, you can message people in your area, or areas you may be passing by or through or by.

If you're rockard who doesn't get lonely then no bother, but a couple of people have asked so here it is

No racing now!! we want you all there in one piece


I live in North Cambridgeshire and can easily get to the A1, M11, A11, A120, and so on, and have allready spoken with a couple about meeting on the way but please remember I have a black bike so I'll probably loose you

Feel free to reply to this thread to arrange meets on the way.

you couldn't resist a little dig could ya

I'll post a reply soon once i've spoken to a few people... It's game on!

Personally i would like to ride straight through central London (south to north) so if anyone's up for that it would be an idea to meet in the south or kent for 10am'ish, maybe in the national sports center car park at Crystal Palace? Nice location, the old Crystal Palace ruins are great for some pre-meet pictures of the day and it's under an hour away from the Ace?

Any takers????

It's not a dig Bill, but honesty IS the best policy.

I may be up for that, I hope to meet some peeps on the way down but I'd also like to meet up with you, MB and Cabbie if possible, but I'd also like to go through Canary Wharf, up the Highway, East Smithfield , Tower Hill, Victoria Embankment, to Parliament Square, Birdcage walk to Hyde Park Corner, to Marble Arch and on to the Westway A40 to the Ace.

Can also do Chelsea Embankment, Redriff road, A4 to Chiswick instead and meet people coming from the west at Chiswick Honda then ride up the A406 to the Ace.

I'm easy.

I'm thinking a meet for people from M11, A12, A2 and Kent could easily meet me at the Canary wharf drive through Macdonalds E14 then we can lead through my route either way, Then either meet you lot at Bridge Street SW1/Parliament square then we all go together via Chiswick or Marble arch or you lot could easily meet at Canary Wharf too??

It'd be great to have 15-20 blades through the E14 Canary Wharf complex don't you think?

As long as the sun is shinning and I'm on the blade I couldn't give a Donald duck which way we go

I would be up for meeting at Crystal palace Wild bill,then I dont mind which way from there.
Hope its a nice day,whats the weather been like,been out of the UK for the passed 5 weeks.

Great. anybody gotta route to the ACE?

Fbf, me and maybe a couple of other lads are coming from Norwich, what route are you taking/ time are you leaving? Maybe could hook up on the way?

Which way U going??I,m down here in Ipswich.........or are U going the most direct route M11 to the M25??

Haven't decided, was going to see who's up for it the go from there. The more the merrier I reckon. Not too bothered about doing the motorway but aren't really fussed either way.

Anybody else travelling from Hastings way or wanna meet up at Boxhill for 1000????

Now I cannot wait,just need to give the bike a good clean and I am ready.

I'm coming from Huntingdon area, probably meet JT at junc A1 / A14 then we can do M11 and meet Norwich lot at Birchanger for 0930 / 1000 ?? if thats any good - should have another blader with me too.

We can then meet the ipswich / Harwich lot at the pertol station at Brentwood J28 M25 (is it still a Total ? ) for 30 minutes later if thats anygood Haggler ? Danige? and CBRRT ???

Graham wrote:Haven't decided, was going to see who's up for it the go from there. The more the merrier I reckon. Not too bothered about doing the motorway but aren't really fussed either way.

We can then all go either A12, all the way to the north circ + meet more on the way? Mickey + co?? or otherwise A12, Isle of Dogs for the Canary wharf fly by , incorporate my route through London + Parliament square, up to Marble arch, or out to Chiswick to meet the rest and up the A406 that way to the Ace??

I know my way around everywhere so no one will get lost if anyone's worried.

Thoughts anyone?

Looks pretty good to me.

im new and dont know the area but i live in thetford off the A11 and would like to meet up to ride with some people also.

PM Graham and Exorcist, they're both from your way, possibly meeting me en route too.

i'll be at boxhill sunday 10am so if you see me give us a shout ( 09 hrc blade ) Any peeps that fastbikefinder has listed from sussex / hampshire want to meet up bury on route will be leaving there at 9am .

We'll see you there at 1000. Looks like quickest route will then be M25 and A40. I dunno London????

OK gents..........as it stands tonite.............My thoughts are to bimble along the A12 from Ipswich to M25 ,pull into the petrol station just before the M25(have a fag n wait for others)..........then perhaps A12 to the A406,cut round the North Cir to the Cafe.I,m not too keen ploughing straight through London on a Sunday morning ( wrist ache and sweaty leathers come to mind) and with possible numbers it may become tricky at lights n turns if everyone is not on the ball.I,m not saying I wont,I,ll go with the flow but I dont really want to arrive too late and have to fight for parking space!
Anyhow..........I,m easy going so shout out ............so would it be 10.00 at A12/M25 pet station??

OR..........I could just head up the A14 to Fordham area (services) and head down the boring M11........???



PS............I dont do 70

Ok. I can leave Norwich around 8.00, be at Theford at 8.30, then either carry on to Birchanger or swing through Bury to be at Ipswich at 9.15ish then on hagglers route from there.

Just to let any of you South London/Kent riders know there will be about 10 of us meeting at the car park in the National sports center Crystal Palace at 10:00am (the entrance on Anerley Hill). If anyone wants to ride up with us taking a fairly scenic route through central London your more than welcome (might as well give the tourists a treat)

Yes my bike is red but i will go extra slow so the black or lesser colour blades can keep up

It would be the quickest for you Mega no doubt coming from there but good for you to meet others at Box Hill and or Crystal Paralysis and on from there.

Good points Haggler, the M25 J28 is a winner for many so I'll meet you there at 10ish as I may be meeting CBR9RRnut at Birchanger and possibly Graham + Exorcist unless they come to you at Ipswich first.
