Don't know what the attendance record for Pilly Runs has been in the past, but for Matlock (Mayhem) BM attendance I think it was around 100 mark in 2014

Wonder if we can drum up those sort of numbers by the end of the month

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Don't forget starting points;

Bassetts Pole

Holmfirth

I'm sure there will be others, if you are planning on meeting up with a few mates for the ride to Matlock, post up your starting point that way other BMers near you can join in the fun too

MM 2014, was the 'cover GBNP (me!) in all things PINK' birthday!

Yes, we did the Happy Birthday letters for you whilst wearing Aussie cork hats, as you rather inconsiderately (!) chose to go to Oz rather than show up!

MM2, 2015 was your rather fetching Woodstock outfit for your 'half century plus a decade birthday'

Two mighty fine, sunny, fun and fabulous events with lots of laughs, Chaos, Anarchy and Mayhem thrown in for good measure

Have you still got your banner up in your garage AJ?

Meeting place in Matlock Bath is
outside Halls icecream shop, next to Kostas cafe on

If you know where the old Post Office used to be that's now part of Halls' shop.

Don't forget folks, if you have a rendezvous/start point post it up, it may encourage others to join you for the ride down to Matlock.

Rendezvous/start points so far folks;

*** Bassetts Pole (McDonalds Car Park), London Road, B75 5SA - leaving between 10:45am - 11:00am

*** Car Park (opposite the Corner House Cafe & Bambles) Towngate, Holmfirth, HD9 3AY - leaving at 10:30am

Quietman (QM) has also said that he will be going down M6 then A515 into Matlock via Cat n Fiddle if anyone would like to join him, just let him know where!

:D Also Jinx has very kindly offered anyone south of Brum needing a pillion ride? He can scoop up on the way up from Gloucestershire,or en route to Basset's Pole,just holler (all for the princely sum of... An Icecream!)

Like jinx57, I'm heading north..ish. Added myself to this because it's high time I met at least some of you after all these years. Also, to take pillion if requested. I'm thinking of linking up with you guys at McD's and roll up from there. So...it would work to meet there for a lift as well, if that suits. Also happy to ride tail end charlie...so to speak.

Just had a call from MCN asking if I wanted to promote 'Pick up a Pillion' day through MCN as it might be of interest to some of their single readers. I said 'no' it's purely for members of Bikermatch. I trust that's OK.

Yes but when you say they called you how did they get your phone number ?

JP, are you being a little ... OAP ??!?!!

AJ had posted his details on the Event (on the Calendar) as contact if needed, as per his response above. 

You now need to look out for other groups organising and advertising Pickup A Pilly Run.  Looks like the bandwagon will now be already rolling ...
