Title: Nottingham Ride - Burners Going Home 2014
Post by: Mr B on January 08, 2014, 05:42 PM
Nottingham ride on 1st March 2014. All old school bikes welcome but it would be great to see as many Burners as possible as we are going to visit the former Raleigh headquarters, for a Burner homecoming and photoshoot.

Meeting at Nottingham Station at 11am.

I'm really up for this. Haven't been to Nottingham for years! Afraid I haven't got a Burner anymore but could come on my Commando! Hahhah

Here is the route, it takes in some great riverside pubs with plenty of space for bikes and of course the former Raleigh headquarters for a homage and photo op.
Meet at Nottingham Station, Carrington St Entrance. (http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3767/11817810004_fc9c7ea954_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/-pb-/11817810004/)

It's a dirty Be-otch from the back of BMX Bi-Weekly circa 1983. That's how long the ride has been in the planning!

Ok, I've had some interest in making some T-Shirts so I'm gonna get some printed. They will cost £20 each because they use more than one colour. If you want your name on the back it'll be £22. Get your orders in by this Saturday because they take a week to come back from the printers. Paypal me the money to browningnet@gmail.com.

Can anyone help me out with parking ? I presume there's some at the station ?
Looking for somewhere decent where it won't end up on bricks, and where I won't need a second mortgage, if poss.
thanks

For some reason I've been chuckling about that all week. BITD I wouldn't have minded being stuck in a Range Rover with her  :D

Not so sure about it now  :-\

If she lives to be a hundred (and it looks like she already has) she'll never live down getting nicked for giving a BJ in the Range Rover  ;D

Sorry for the thread hijack.

See you tomorrow. Hope it stops pi**ing down.
