On the Road Again!

Just a week to go until this year's Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride , I have managed to source a Royal British Legion car-poppy to install on Pepé.  I need to find a space for it now. I might put it on one of the screen brackets. After missing the last two years due to the heart attack and the Somme 100 I am pleased to be able to attend again.   It's usually a nice run up to Cambridge although to get there in good time it it mostly motorway plus the added hassle of the Dartford Crossing through the tunnel. The local RBL Riders group in Kent are setting off a bit too early for me as they are leaving the A2 Services at 0845. I am not planing leaving home until 0900 and the RV is about 45 mins from home! I might catch up with them on the road as I am not planning a stop once I have a full tank of fuel and they have a few meeting points along the way.

After missing out on 2015 after my heart attack and 2016 as it clashed with the Somme 100 ceremony, I am planning to Rocket up to Cambridge to join this year's run. The date is July 1st and is a Saturday again. The Kent RBLR group are meeting at Cobham Services on the A2 at 0845 with several stops on the way. It's a bit early for me to be up there as I am not planning to leave home until 0900. Maybe I will catch them up with my no stop strategy.

The run this year is on July 1st. I missed the 2015 run as I was recovering from my heart attack and again in 2016 as it clashed with the Somme Centenary. Prior to that I had been from 2010 to 2014 inclusive. Hopefully I'll get back on plan and be there this year again. http://www.alliedride.org/index.php/uk-home/uk-ride By now it is usually all settled. But with some major road works in the area the route from the service area on the A14 is still to be decided. Run reports from the 2017 run
