Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 What routes are you taking as some members might join you for part of the day depending where you are going. April 1st probably through the lanes upto Caton & Devils Bridge etc. Obviously it'll be some peoples 1st ride of the season so can decide more nearer the time/en route etc. Quote
hammer5 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Old man's 67th birthday on the 1st, but all being good I'm up for it, I can see him later... Quote
hammer5 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I'm inviting a few Aprilia mates from a.n.other forum too.. Quote
GazW Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I'll be there on the first.. What bikes are everyone going to be on as I don't fancy walking round every biker at the barn on a Sunday asking if you are Graham off the Internet could be quite easily misinterpreted. Quote

I'm on a black Fireblade, my friend on an orange/white KTM. Looks like there'll be afew turning up, spread the word as everyone welcome & we'll stop at major junctions to keep everyone together P.s also looks like the weathers getting more like it Quote
hammer5 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Which part of Rivington (bottom barn) are we meeting Quote
GazW Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 When you get too the crossroads at the barn turn right (from blackburn) or left (from horwich) and look for a clapped out GPZ with the rider holding a big bunch of red roses and a sign reading 'bigboy?' Quote

Graham Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Which part of Rivington (bottom barn) are we meeting Will be parking up at the top end of the bottom barn car park, near to the barn entrance & where the sitting out tables are. If others that are meeting can do the same, that would be great Quote

If others that are meeting can do the same, that would be great I'll probably ride over with you mate, (see other thread) as I've only been Rivi Barn twice, and that was the cafe at the top of the hill..

GarethNW Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Im in on the 1st, never been to rivi barn before Quote

No problem, will arrange a meeting place or forward my postcode nearer the time as you'll be passing my way? Quote
Graham Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Im in on the 1st, never been to rivi barn before Great. Make sure you meet at the bottom barn & not the top one. The top one which is up the 1/2 mile very straight road (with speed humps) is the usual biker meet were there'll be loads of bikers but it'll be difficult to know eachother for the 1st time,HENCEThe bottom barn which is the one opposite the 1/2 mile road leading upto the top barn. The car park (our meet) is at the other side of the barn from the road.Hope this all makes sense Graham Quote
