Aviation Centre Run – Saturday, August 16th.
The WWII Aircraft Museum is open to all and the World War II
Avro Lancaster "Just Jane" will perform taxi runs during
the afternoon. The
entrance fee for “Seniors” is usually £10.00.
Suggested
Route:
I
will start
from my home in Hinckley, you will make your own way to start
point at Six Hills.
Google Maps
Paul Bird may do a group run from somewhere
in the Burton area.
My route takes me to the Carpenters Arms at Six Hill on
the A46 and from there across country to East Kirkby, bypassing
Melton Mowbray and most towns using smaller roads, bypasses,
etc.
My brother
John lives at Linton near Burton and he has accompanied me
previously to East Kirkby by meeting up with me at the entrance
to “The Carpenters Arms” at Six Hills.
We then travelled
together using my route from there.
This arrangement worked well.
(The Carpenters Arms was previously known as the Durham
Ox pub and maybe other names too. It used to be a big bike meeting place years ago.)
If the
weather is bad, I suggest that there will be very few
people likely to do the run.
(Perhaps those interested can let me know and give me
their contact details, e.g. WhatsApp, Text, mobile number, etc
so that I can message them if the run is on or off.)
The route
from Burton to East Kirkby would be approximately 90 miles
depending on which way you got to Six Hills.
Approximate distances and times between stops are below.
Burton to Six
Hills meeting point.
30 miles.
(50 - 60 minutes.)
Ready to Leave Six Hills at 8.00 am prompt.
Six Hills to
Grantham (Breakfast at Asda Café.)
21 miles.
(40 – 50 minutes)
Grantham the
East Kirkby
37 miles.
(60 - 70 minutes)
Times
dependant on the average speed of the group.
I would expect to ride at 50 – 55 mph on suitable roads.
i.e. It is not a road race.
I will return from E. Kirkby to the Carpenters
Arms. You will make your own way home from there singly or
with a group.
