Saint and I are leaving from SE London. We are close to the M20 so will skip the Box meet. Also it is a strange time of the day to be on the bike

Can't make Boxhill tomorrow as have a meeting until about 2.30pm (including lunch) Can meet at Maidstone Services on 17th which is only about 25 miles from Folkestone, will already have a full bike as don't live too far away.
Been to Le Touquet a couple of times on the bike, plenty of places to fill up including Boulogne next to a McDonalds!!

'> Hi fellas, I am new to this forum but I am booked on the eurotunnel to join you guys, I will be riding with a friend from Coulsdon Surrey, anyone riding from Croydon sides who knows the way to Box hill and doesnt mind meeting up?

You might be better off meeting at Maidstone Services (M20J8) instead. Saves a lot of doubling back...

Hi m8, I'm from near Croydon and was meeting at box, but am now re-thinking as it's true what jimc is saying about doubling back.

If you fancy meeting up, and heading to Maidstone Services with me let me know. PM'd you mobile.

Ok Not much time left to sort things out for are France trip, This topic does also apply to people going to spain as well as there are warm up rides involved and would help if we start organizing some warm up rides to various different places which will help us find out what pace you rather be,

It would be nice if we can start having opinions and planning who will be travelling with who on any pace or routes so we as a group understand what everything will be like for the trip and put many minds at ease what ever information you would like to share please do so as it will help.

So everyone lets get Cracking and planning on views ect.... ect...........

Just want things to run smoothly for everyone ':rock:'

In other words help me out!!!!!!

I've exported the route info in as many ways as I know how. Those with Garmin (Mapsource) devices should use the "lbtrip.gdb" file as long as they have the appropriate maps on their system.

I'm afraid I don't know which can be manipulated to work with Tom-Tom, sorry.
