I make the start venue as TL86907 63407 according to my map. The road name is Shakers Lane.


Sorry the road name is Rougham Hill and the postcode for the VLA centre at the top of Rougham Hill is IP33 2RX about 50yrds from lorry park.

From the A14 Take the Bury St Edmunds "East" exit and then take the Sudbury A134 exit off roundabout, about 100yrds turn left on roundabout onto Rougham Hill lorry park is nearly at top of the hill on right. good.gif

Has anybody got any objections if I ask a mate whos got a ZX9 if he wants to tag along???

As he went for a ride with the East of England Bikers yesterday and said they all rode like a bunch of old women, werent allowed to overtake and had to keep within ALL speed limits all of the time huh.gif I presume we will be sticking to limits in built up areas but once in country side yeahyeahyeah.gif yahoo.gif

Also could be a good oppertunity to show how good the TDM's are on the right roads tongue.gif

Is anyone planning to run to this from the North West? Bizarrely enough, I sold my TDM to buy a Super10, so I guess I still qualify?!!
