March 18th - SOUTHERN SOFTIES SPRING WARM UP SUNDAY MARCH

March 27th & 28th - 'THE TOUR OF WALES 1 WEEKEND 2010'. - This is it, our first big weekend away for 2010. Always a good excuse to get the bike out and definitely the way to make sure you have an exciting and active year on your bike. This is the trip where new friendships are made and plans will be hatched for 2010. As always, we'll meet up at the Little Chef (SY13 1JZ) on the Whitchurch Bypass, where the A495 turns off for Ellesmere, no later than 8.45am for a 9am departure, fuel up as you arrive............more info

May 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th - 'THE SCOTTISH 1 HIGHLAND TOUR 2010'. - The plan is to meet up as usual North of Penrith at 08:45 prompt on Saturday morning. Away 9.00am from the only services on the A74(North bound) north of Carlisle. If you get as far as the M74 at Gretna you've gone too far. The services are now apparently open as a Petrol Station {Shell I think} and a Costa Coffee, it's just after the old HGV weigh bridge (ring me if you want suggestions for Friday night digs on 07768 405222). From the meeting point we'll take an interesting route up through the Scottish Borders before Crossing the Clyde around dinner time. Then it's over some stunning passes to our first Hotel (NEW DIGS) overlooking the shores of Loch Fyne. After a good meal and a wee drink we'll rise the next morning to head up the West Coast via a spectacular route to Applecross.This is a truly spectacular trip well worth the effort. It's always over booked and can only take a limited number due to the accommodation used. If you've done it before you know to be quick. If you’ve not done it before you should make an effort to be quicker still and secure your place on this fantastic tour. Most of the roads we use North of Glasgow are grin factor 9+..........more info

Doing as many trails as possible although there is always a tarmac alternative. Sunday back through the Lakes passing over the M6 early afternoon for those who need to head off home.

July 3rd to 13th 2010 - PYRES + STELLA ALPINA 2010 (The Long Way Round).- After a fantastic first trip last year we just had to do it one last time. Due to the port changes this is probably the last time we will run this trip with the ease of the long crossing to Bilbao, so if you have fancied doing it the best way possible get booked in this year. We will take the ferry crossing from Portsmouth on Saturday 3rd July to the Port of Bilbao in northern Spain. Here we will start our journey across the Pyrenean Ridge staying in wonderful locations as we meander our way from West to East through the Pyrenees. Then we start out across France taking in the stunning Millau Sky Bridge.before heading up into the Alps to join the Stella Alpina Rally. After the Rally we will loop north through the Alps before heading back through France to eventually catch the Ferry over to Dover around lunch time on Tuesday 13th July. This trip is the culmination of over 20 years traveling through these areas and will take in all the very best roads and sights along the way. As it may be the last ever it is most certainly not one to be missed.
