A few of us from Aire Valley stayed at the Moor Hall Hotel. Best Western,4* and B&B cost me £34. www.moorhallhotel.co.uk (http://www.moorhallhotel.co.uk)
The RTTW 08 was a fantastic event and a privilege to be involved in (in a small way,as a road captain with others from Aire Valley who'd volunteered)
Much respect to Martin and his team at Nene Valley.
See you all at RTTW 09.
Ride safe.

[RamDez]

quick update, we have 20 bikes booked so far. At this point I am going to go ahead and close registration to the hotel. You might still be able to book rooms there if you give them a phone.

As well as your 20 bikes there are others like myself and the present Mrs Journeyman who will be going down but don't require accomodation... Nothing personal Dez. :D However we should be able to ride down together.

RTTW 2009 Registrations NOW OPEN !
If you were at last years event you will, definately, want to be there this year.
If you missed last years event, here is your opportunity to catch up and visit the National Monument to those members of the Armed Forces who have died SINCE the Second World War.
I can honestly say it was the most 'inclusive' feeling of family (whether you served with the forces, or not) I have ever experienced outside a uniform. All you have to do is want to be there.
I'm sure that, over the years, we all know or know of someone who gave their all and now is your chance to say 'we will remember you and thanks'.
Remember, the freedom to ride is the freedom these guys paid for.

[Nookster]
