Not all of the details are finalised so check back for more info nearer the day - or call your local dealer to see what they've got planned. If you want to find more details on any of the Royal Enfield dealers then it's probably quickest to use the main Royal Enfield site (www.Royal-Enfield.com) and click on the dealer listing. That'll give you all their locations and contact details.

As well as the many Open Days offering test rides and refreshments, you might want to drag your bike along on one of the girls' RIDE WITH US days. There's an evening adventure on Thursday May 12th, starting with a BBQ at teatime at Charnwood Classics, with an evening ride out to the Victoria Pub (as if Rowena and Emm weren't riding far enough on their trip - this evening jaunt is an added extra!).

On Sunday 15th the girls will set off from Eclipse at Tranent (just outside Edinburgh), first thing, for a long haul south. The shop may not be able to open up especially for us - but either way you're welcome to bring your bike and ride a while. (Do you know the way? Any good at map reading?).

The next opportunity to stretch your wheels is on Tuesday May 17th, starting at Haywards of Cambridge. Or if you live in the south-west, you might like to meet up at 8.30 at Lanivet in Bodmin on Friday May 20th for a special Cornish pasty start to the day.

Then, finally, the grand finale on Saturday May 21st. The girls will have been in the saddle for ten long days, and they'll have ridden those Electras something like 2500 miles. Join them at Didcot or Banbury for the final ride back to Royal Enfield's HQ - let's make it a bit of a celebration, shall we?
