Milligan Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Knack all response to the idea....try something practical....Subject to the weather we will be doing a rideout up to Newton Upon Rawcliffe on Sunday March 28th...It will start from Howden with all the ugly buggers who can be bothered to get out of bed at 10.40am and stopping at Shiptonthorpe 'bout 11am then a windy route via Warter, Wetwang, Malton, up to Goathland and then via the moors down to the Mucky Duck at Newton.If noone on here is up for it then we probaly won't stop at Shiptonthorpe....but if there is....we will.Please let me know if you are up for it. If you're not, come to Howden anyway, there's a mini festival all weekend featuring: KEEP IT CASH Friday, Claudio Kron & The Papa Jaca Band Saturday plus percussion workshop, dance workshop and Brazilian food Saturday and a Spike Theatre production of Top Of The World Sunday.Please check out full details at http://www.howden-live.comCheers,Mark.

Guest Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Please support your local rideouts if you can - it's a great way to meet people and a wonderful excuse to stand in a carpark for hours and eat overpriced burgers Good work Mark - don't give up trying to organise something - one day it will all come together.

craig Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 sounds good but i,m busy this weekend will be up for a ride another time ,weds bike nights starting soon too Quote
Guest Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 May I also suggest putting more information in the thread title.... 'Reet then' isnt all that useful Have a great day Quote
Milligan Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 But doesn't having a thead in a specific area invite a response? i.e. the original heading "Calling all Hull and East Yorkshireites (And beyond?)" ? Didn't cop for anything much and it was only an enquiry. 'Reet then' was more specific and nothing much back?There might be all sorts of reasons why anyone didn't choose to respond given the short notice but shouldn't a forum like this be what it says on the label? Any road up.....we still have an initial meet at the new Coop par cark in Howden at 10.30am today (Sunday March 28th) (9.30am really) and we are off up past Shiptonthorpe 'bout 11.25 and across the Wolds to North Yorks ending up at Goathland and then down to The Black Swan at Newton Upon Rawcliffe at whatever time we get there. If anyone is around wherever, look out for a light green Tiger, a Lambretta and numerous other two wheeled thangs.Cheers,Mark. Quote

Milligan Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Pics only on ride reports now? Cleverley forgot me camera so no go for that one. Met up with two bods at 10.30 as arranged, no sign of a couple of others I knew were coming...popped round to their house and guess who forgot to put their clocks forward?After much stopping and starting...fuel fill ups galore...finally got going, six bikes...well not strictly true...five bikes and a Lambretta...Top Tip.....take a Lambretta on a ride out with you and save on fuel!!Going over the top between Wetwang and Malton v.v.windy, back wind though so it did increase the Lambi's top speed by 10mph every now and then. Stitched the ride up to Goathland and Egton Bridge due to the late start and straight to Newton Upon Rawcliffe and the mucky duck, due sustinance and off across to Helmsley and back home the scenic route from there...Top day...first ride out with any real numbers...it was indeed a blast!
