Update folks:
I intend to cap the numbers at 33 (only 2 spaces). This will allow for three groups with room for the inevitable drop outs. It happens and can't be helped.

There will be a "Driver focussed" group led by @Twin Turbo . This is for the few wanting to concentrate on the experience of driving the great roads we've got here. This is the group for you @billz ! Disclaimer: you're all adults and are capable of making decisions on how you use your time and keep within the the safe and legal limits.

There will be two "Touring groups" who will be more focussed on enjoying the roads and taking in the sites at a more conservative pace.

I'll lead the first of these groups and I'm gonna take @Bozzy up on his kind offer of help to lead the second. (Ive not asked him yet so consider this a job offer mate?)

I'm looking into eateries and could do with an idea of numbers so what I need to know from everyone is:

1- what group would you like to be in?
2- are you alone or with a +1?

I'm a +1
Yes still up for that mate
Have you got a route put together yet ?

 

[billz]

Spirited +1

Thanks Steve, we've got an idea of a route but I'm looking to arrange a sit down with you and Q to set it. I'll need to do some recces too (any excuse!). I'll shout you up and see when you're free. A friend of mine and Q who started the Ilkeston BMW club is gonna act as sweeper for the Driver focussed group so I'll invite him along too.
