Title: Friday MK Antics - Who's Staying In Which Hotel?
Post by: Retrodan72 on May 16, 2015, 09:08 AM
I'm thinking ahead, with excitement for MK15. I was wondering where a majority of the RADsters will be staying, as we seem to be split over the 2 Hotel's.

It looked like all the carnage was at the Hotel last year.

Who's staying where?

Dan can you post up the hotel details mate as there's a chance the missus and kids might come to break their mk cherry this year and I'll need to book them a room. My 4yr old lad wants to ride round the track :coolsmiley:

Like fook will I be cycling round the lake in the dead of night full of vodka mind - my motor was well comfy last year :2funny:

Two years ago we were at the Holiday Inn and it's pretty good. The bar was full of bikes and there was no agro about that either.

Last year was Room 19.......
Most went to the Premier Inn because the Hol Inn had out priced themselves by doubling their price!!!

This year it has turned around and the Prem Inn is more expensive than the Hol Inn.

So it's back to the Hol Inn for me and the S G clan.

Prem Inn - easier to get too (unless you're Wini) and all off road but you have to pay £9 for your breakfast and kids can't use the bar after 10pm as it's a seperate venture.

Hol Inn - Simple to get to if you follow the right road! Breakfast is free but limited menu. The bar is integrated into the hotel and had no issues with the kids in the bar area after 10pm.

Going to camp the Saturday.

 Left it too late to get a cheap room for the Friday.  Thumbs down

Post by: cheeta on June 28, 2015, 05:06 PM
Anybody ever got the train down to MK

I am thinking of getting the train down Friday morning/afternoon then coming back Sunday, after getting the train to the London Rad Ride, booking the bike one was easy and I can get tickets there and back for less than £50 and no changes, first class coming back a cheap as £38

Staying over in hotel with on the Friday and camping on the Saturday, how much stuff do people take. Tent/sleeping bag is a must plus change of clothes and basic toiletries. Do people take food or just find a pub for breakfast etc.

Just thinking might be a squeeze with the luggage on the train and its about 3 mile from train station to the lake in MK. Can drive down but cant be arsed with the drive back on the Sunday.
Title: Re: Friday MK Antics - Who's Staying In Which Hotel?
Post by: Retrodan72 on June 28, 2015, 05:59 PM
I've get the train every year, it's a doddle getting there, getting to MK Stn on the Sunday is a killer though, I won't lie, always seems to be a headwind riding back. Riding to the Hotel/track from the Station is ace though, the excitement and adrenalin seems to make it go really quickly.

I always do it with a big rucksack on, I have done it with a tent etc, but a Hotel means travel light, and shite in a nice bog.

fook it, a few miles riding to train station rough is nothing, just cant be arsed driving back home rough

Going to decide this week and book tickets or not then buy a tent, this is going to be a fooking adventure  :surprise:

Couple years ago everyone seemed to favour the Holiday Inn... so we chose the Premier Inn... D'oh  :uglystupid2:
Last year the majority were in the Premier Inn... so we chose the Holiday Inn... Double D'oh  :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2:
This year we have stayed with the Holiday Inn... its safer/easier to get Benno home in one piece at the closest hotel.  ;D

We only changed last year due to the Holiday Inn doubling their rates due to 'other events' being held over the weekend of MK.    :2gunsfiring_v1:

This year they're back to about £50 a night i believe  :daumenhoch:

Yes there will.......

Plus free entry to the weekend, free marquees to display collections / bikes, free use of the track, free use of the ramps, free use of the toilets and skip to chuck your rubbish.

We do try and cater for all and chuck in raffle prizes too !





Free use of the ramps

I don't think you need to worry about that Pete, obviously with your comments in another thread it offends you that we have food and drink for the members. 

So I can't see how you can partake anyway, otherwise it would be a tad hypocritical of you.

It's only FREE if you don't have a SST and refrain from making a decent donation to the honesty jar/raffle on the weekend, but still partake and enjoy the hospitality of the forum and organisers.
