There is a meeting of bikers every Wednesday night, during Summer, outside the<br />
appropriately named Knott End Cafe at Knott End in Lancashire (FY6 0EA).<br />
A group of RD<strong>LC</strong> owners from the Lancaster area meet on the A588 (Ashton Road)<br />
outside the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (LA1 4RP) between 7pm and 7.30pm for a 30<br />
miles round trip, speed camera free, four stroke eating dash, to Knott End and<br />
back.<br />

If you fancy it, here's a taster.<br />
Within a mile you are leaving the<br />
built up area of Lancaster city and<br />
straight into the tractor danger<br />
zone. Beware, when the sun is<br />
shinning, tractors and bikers come<br />
out to play, a lethal combination.<br />
You have been warned!<br />
First up are three sets of hedge<br />
lined 'S' bends. Two slow (in <strong>LC</strong><br />
terms) and one fast. Then, brake hard and deep into a<br />
tight left hander outside the inviting Stork Pub at Conder Green -<br />
www.thestorkinn.co.uk.<br />
There is usually a small<br />
audience of bikers sat<br />
outside the Stork. They can<br />
see you come and they can<br />
see you go. Get this corner<br />
wrong and they'll all know<br />
all about it.<br />
Knott End Café<br />
Shortly after the Stork<br />
there are 2 jumps. A little<br />
river bridge and the larger<br />
Lancaster Canal bridge. A<br />
couple of road side farms to be aware of next before some bouncy and<br />
sometimes very bumpy, twisty sections through the hamlets of Lower and Upper<br />
Thurnham. Blink and you'll miss them.
