<B>********** NOTE CHANGE OF DATE **********</B>

Ok guys'n'gals... time for another Ring Of Cambridge!

For those who didn't take part last time, this is a 60 mile trip circling Cambridge without using any A-roads (give or take the odd 100 yards ). We start at one pub for 'car inspection' and lunch - last time The Royal Oak, Barrington - then do half the ring around Cambridge anti-clockwise to The Plough at Fen Ditton, where we stop for coffee or whatever. After a bit, the ring is closed by continuing round anti-clockwise back to Barrington.

Last time was a great success, with over a dozen Scoobies and a couple of Evo's turning up (and no crashes) - very enjoyable way of spending an afternoon. Started about 11:30am last time, ended about 4pm.

Everything is in the pace notes, and we send people out in groups with someone with a co-driver at the front. There will be a few modifications this time to try and eliminate a couple more 30mph zones

I propose the date of <B>Sunday 26th August</B> with a timetable of (roughly):

<B>11:30am</B> People start turning up at the first pub, for 'car inspection'
<B>12:00</B> Pub opens and we can get coffee
<B>12:20pm</B> Food ordering and eating
<B> 1:30pm</B> Start going round the first leg, followed by coffee on arrival at the half-way point
<B> 2:30pm</B> Second leg, followed by optional coffee or dessert back at the start

We can all then head off when we're ready.

This was great fun last year - hopefully we can get loads of people coming for a top afternoon in the sun...

Obviously this is a way off yet, but an indication of who's interested may spur me into eliminating more villages and 30mph zones

Cheers
Richard

Count us in - should have all the mods finished by then (maybe..... )

 

My diary is free!! I'll be there. Do you need any help setting up the revised route?

Grahame

 

Here we go - here we go - here we go...

I'm there definately unless (only slight chance this ) I'm showing RS'ers how to drive @ Donno RS Nat Day

Ez would come too



PS - Richard, doesn't conflict with the GP callendar, does it? You sure?

Buzz'n Hornets

 

Great, lots of people interested already!

PTMW! - it actually clashes with the Hungarian GP but I don't expect I shall be going there for that one... in fact (all being well) I shall probably be otherwise moving that weekend.

Grahame: will give you a shout nearer the time for route changes - thanks!

Looking forward to it already

Richard

 

Ah, that's different - if it's the Hungarian GP weekend, I shall be at home watching the GP. Caan't we do another Sunday?

 

Good point... so it's now been moved...

<B>**** Sunday 26th August ****</B>

I hope everyone can still make it!

Thanks PTMW! + Dave for pointing out the GP clash.



Richard

 

can non-scooby cars come?

JB

 

Branners

Where you been hiding?

Of course you can come

 

Yup, 26th is ok for me. And it's a Bank Holiday weekend...

Grahame

 

Grahame
So, was that you going through Baldock about 1pm on Saturday last? - I was in the black bug eyed monster turning out on your left just before the A507 lights.....

 

I think I am free with the change of date

 

Dave T-S

Sure was! 'fraid I didn't stop but we were in a hurry for a family reunion in Hayes. Had you been visiting Quenbys? See you and Carolyn at the Ring of Cambridge...

Grahame

 

Puff - I have been a'lurkin on the board looking out for interesting posts.

I actually saw you at the Supra day at Bentwaters but I wasnt in the best of moods as my car had just dumped 5 litres of oil in 2 miles and was looking in a bad way. I put another 5 litres in and it did it again, so I just hid in the far corner of the track taking video footage.

I will probably muster a few Supras up for that date and hopefully see you there.

JB

Hi Grahame. No, not Quenby's, I had been to Davies the motor factors to pick up some paint..(and to Chelmsford, Bishops Stortford...one of those days)

Richie.

 

Nice one Richard.

Count me in.

May need to lose some weight beforehand as I seem to remember my Scoob struggling to cope with the extra weight after that mega lunch at the last Cambridge run

Hugh

 

Huge,

Are you saying I'm fat or just eat too much?

See you later,

Mike

 

Excellent... 14 people in 12 cars so far then... looking good

Richard

 

Hi Richard,
Hope you have counted me in as I said yes before the date change - but you know my diary is as empty as Jeffrey Archers is now - so no probs !
