Midlands Meets

[digitalcaptive]

Anyone got any ideas for a Midlands meet up some weekend?
I'm based nr Coalville leicestershire so Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Tamworth, Burton-on-Trent are all easily accessible to me, even Staffordshire and Warwickshire are reasonably close by.
I eager to get into the social side of biking and have recently passed my bike test, I have no real preference of venue, whether or not its a meet or ride out

Samben and I are close you to so yeah lets do it.. Not this weekend as i have plans.. but lets pick some where the a515 is a good road witha few bike friendly places on it!

Sounds like a plan...almost, I'm not familier with any establishments along there but any will suit me, This weekend not good for me either but any time after that would be fine, do you know of many other members nearby?

anyone else got any ideas?

Probably taking the missus to SMC (Sheffield) tomorrow. Not exactly a long trip! But the furthest she's ever been pillion and I've got to break her in gently ready for the national!

Deffo still up for a meet, but nowhere springing to mind right now. Not originally from around here. Will have a internet search, maybe steal some ideas?

Furthest I managed with my missus is two miles she wouldn't let me go more than 20mph and got off crying!!!!! I can't see her going to the national with me somehow.

Went for a bit of a recky on the A515 today, Got back having forgotten what I went for kinda got lost in the ride stopped for a coffee in tissington and then came home, nice ride out though

Managed 20 minutes, didn't clock mileage, got up to 40 on some stretches! Haven't put her off so far, but don't want to push her too hard and undo the good work! Did kinda get a confession from her that if she was the one with the bike and I was pillion she doubts she could've kept it down to 40! Trying to find a way to make our family holiday be somewhere near Milton Keynes so I can talk her into the Ladies Day - good excuse for 2 bikes!?
Maybe.
