All Day Breakfast at the ACE CafeI'm heading down to the ACE cafe on Sunday morning (11/10/2009) with a few fellow HOC members for an over priced all day breakfast, if anyone else would like to join us?Will be leaving the 10 o'clock at 8am, stopping at the Milton Keynes Holiday Inn to meet up with a few others just before 9am. I believe Sunday is Brit V's Day at the ACE, so there's likely to be a few British classics about (Vincent and Velocette). Me, I'm just going for the grub! Let me know if you're interested. Russ |

Nice route Lee, might need a bigger tank bag for the instructions tho!
Far more interesting than the M1, so it's got my vote. I'll just need to check the guys from Milton Keynes are happy to head a bit north to go south 
I've approximated the route on Google Maps (Click Here to see it) Russ |

| leeVFR800 |
your route looks a bit more strate forward just means droping onto the M1 for abit . will take another look to day see if i can come up with a route that is not so long winded | ||

do not want to put a downer on the daythe wether forcast for sunday is saying chances of rain so do not forget the wet wether gear

Hmmm, looks like Google has decided to use the M1, my route was supposed to avoid it!  The route should show as going via Harpenden on the A1081.
Just checked the weather and the weekend is looking fine and dry, potentially a bit warmer on Sunday, at 18c I hope it doesn't rain, the bike is getting a new pair of shoes tomorrow morning. |

Hope you had a good day guys, the weather was good for you anyway (at least this far up, only a few spots of rain)
Unfortunately I'm not feeling too good this weekend so decided not to come this morning. @Lee, tried to ring you to let you know but mobile number I have for you just goes to a dead number, sorry |
