Uploaded GPX files to Sat Nav so all ready on that front, bike has been washed too!

On the way back, I may head via Lydd, Camber and Rye and pick up the A268 to Flimwell to pick up the A21 and thereon to M25/A12. The M20 is very boring.

A few of us are also following the same route back. I couldn't agree more about the M20. When I test ran the route couple weeks ago, I made my way back through M20 and I almost fell asleep on the bike through the endless 50mph average speed zone.

We can have a chat before leaving what route back we'll take. Glad you got a backup of the maps as I'm always wary of google, sometimes it decides a certain route is not good enough for me and reroutes.

What bright spark in google inc. decided it was a good idea to enforce driver to hit the screen if they DON'T want to follow the suggested route rather than vice versa is beyond me.

Btw, weather is looking better and better as the day is nearer.

I washed mine today as well, so it's all ready for the run. Got a shad seat yesterday from an nc forum member too, so no more sore bum issues :)

I suggest at the 2nd stop we call ahead to the pilot to reserve a table. It can get busy there.

We can try but I'm not sure they will be open. When I went there a couple weeks back, they were just about open at 11:30am. We'll try anyway.

Weather's looking better and better each day! Balmy 13 degrees with sun at the moment.

It will be open by the time we get to the midway point and will have a good idea of an ETA.
