ptolemyx

I've just registered, now over 9000 plus pillions registered! Shows the Great British Public are right behind the men and women who serve.
I'll be going up the M5 and M4. Perhaps anyone else going this way from the South West could meet up (I join the M5 at jcn 27) and we'll ride together to Fatbloke's and on from there?

I am at Jcn 11a M5 Gloucester, but will be setting off just before 9am, to get to Fatblokes for 9.30, dont want to miss bacon sarnie, if you want to call in for a wee or tea you will have to get to me before 9. I have just noticed ,you will not pass Gloucester first, so if there are any other B Kings passing Gloucester and want to call in, send me a email.
Regards Keith

There seems to be a bit of doubt that they will be able to pull this off, make sure you keep up to date with the Facebook article and main website - some are saying it will take over 3 hours to get from the services to the airbase because of the limits the police are putting on it - who knows whats true and whats not at the moment but did hear there may be issues with getting into the air base

MCN now on board, I got in touch with Kevin Ash, he gave them a big nudge, and they said they might put somthing on MCN today, and would def do somthing before last day to register, Kev said he would put somthing on his site, and will put somthing in his article at the Telegraph, the bad news is registration has temp been stopped, they say due to large number trying to register.

MCN were not going to do it because they thought it was just a local event, it was only when I got in touch with Kevin Ash, and he gave them a push that they changed their mind, as well as many people saying they would not buy MCN anymore if they would not support the run.

Hi Mal
its now from 8am at RAF Hullavington airfield, leave there at 11am to ride through Wootton Bassett, only 2000 at a time allowed to arrive at the airfield, you have to say what time you will arrive at airfield, have to say online, what time you think you will get there.
Regards Keith
