Guest Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Stick to the main roads and be careful - the roads round Chester are treacherous - bit like the clowncil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightycaz Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Even the main roads are dodgy mate, the cross roads at lower and uper bridge street with the yellow squares on em are scetchy all year round! it is a bit fun to let the back end go out a tiny bit tho!!

Guest Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 had a run out with Matt (Jade Mongoose) last weekend, went kendal to devils bridge, up to Sedbergh onto Hawes, Ingleton and back to Devils, cracking roads, but lots of debris from the recent weather and potholes.. then went home and put feet up, Matt spent the afternoon cleaning his new bike, I love old bikes...

j4ff Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Nice meeting place and roads but the 40 zones and police presence are enough to keep me away,selecting third will get you jailed .Ill shut up now cos i havent been further than round the block,0.3mile doesnt realy count as 1st ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Fabulous sunny day here in north Wales Sunday so me and the g/f went out on the Blackbird. Did Capel Curig, Beddgelert, Portmadoc and back home via Caernarfon. Lots of bikes about but the roads were greasy in a lot of places, Salt and sh1t all over too!Wore my new silk inner gloves for the first time...... ironically they did a better job of keeping the warmth of the heated grips from my hands than they did of protecting my finger tips from being frozen Funny how rusty your lines become over winter too by the time I got home my all black bike now had a black and white striped front end and an almost pure salty white back end and white rubber tyres! Hosepipe cured all though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Had a gentle jaunt down to matlock to meet Willow (and her New Beautiful bike), Akey Roybandit and Korben.The A6 just passed Buxton was closed due to a landslide, so diversion sent me over the tops of the snowy hills, Roads were ok just damp. came back via Chesterfield the road coming out of there is horrendous full of potholes, trenches and gravel.Like Jota said it amazing how rusty your riding is after a few weeks off the bike.
