I am doing the manchester to Blackpool on Sunday but I have never been to Blackpool before (a record I will be sorry to loose).

Where could my good lady park ?

and where would be a sensible place to meet up.

i would suggest she doesn't stop the car at all, keeps driving round and round until you appear, get from the bike into the open boot, pull the bike in after you and then she accelerates away from blackpool as fast as possible.

Not riding back? It's only round the corner...

I agree with MrSparkle, just ride back, it's only 50 miles and dead flat. Make it into a sprint.
