1st, 15th, 29th April ride outs

[hammer5]

Any road that pushes my limit further than before is worth it's weight in gold..

Anyway, here are some images of the day, courtesy of Tubad (Aprilia DD rider).

This is what i will be wearing on our next meet

Good pictures from the last ride btw

Yes all good for the 15th, this Sunday. Meet Rivington 10.30am for 10.40am set off.

The forcast is 10degree, dry/sunny/some cloud. No route in mind as yet?

Going list so far.

Count me in if you are up my way.

We was all over your place week before last.. but

I'm thinking either;

Buxton way, snakes 627 628 Buxton a6 etc.

Or North Yorkshire, harrogate, squires, a59 etc

Or lakes?

[Graham]

Not done it in years, but Macclesfield, cat&fiddle, Buxton, snake pass? Or something that way, Sparrowpitt etc?

If we do, we'd possibly meet elsewhere or people en-route?

I'd say for most it'll be a round trip of around 150/180 mls as a rough guide, with a couple of stops, bru/food/toilet etc. Weather permitting a stop at The Cat&Fiddle.

[hammer5]

Should be a good ride, we need to find some off the beaten track roads away from the boys in blue.

I know a few that link up Castleton to a dodgy A road via a B road, but It's not a devils - hawes road, its more a Ewan McGregor road

I'll jump on Google Maps & have a smooch.

One of the Aprilia lads lives in the Wakefield area, rides a KTM 1000 pulls wheelies at 90 etc knows some seriously amazing roads that way but I think he's still in bed due to a high-side at Donny.

I'll bell him & see if he's moving yet.

[Graham]

It looks like he'll be the kind that attracts attention which is what we don't want

Of course, just like Tom's mate at the back end of last weeks race, :ugeek:

He's a extremely experienced track & road rider in his late 40's riding a duke

Bumping a planned Rideout, what's wrong with the world

[hammer5]

Shall we meet B&Q carpark Oldham, there is a butty van say 10.15 10.30 set off 10.45....?

That would be ok if it was just us few, but Tom's (Burscough) up for coming out so I said i'll look at the map for a suitable meet point. Perhaps us few should meet up locally & ride to meet Tom?

I thought there would be more up for this ride, perhaps most are still in hibernation lol.

[hammer5]

I'm guessing some will join without posting like last time..

I can come to yours or meet Tesco Bury fuel point, then ride up meet Tom somewhere & choose from there?

Either sounds good Lee. I'll sort a meeting point out with Tom (& without going too far out of our way ) then confirm the plans a.s.a.p

Perhaps theres some from the Aprilia forum again. Here's looking to a good day

No ones posted an interest, must be awaiting 18+ temp.

[Graham]

Looks like they won't be on their bike for another month or so then!

It is the middle of April, isn't it?

Lee, check out the weather forcasts for tomorrow & see what you think?

Macclesfield-Buxton-etc

Lancaster-Kendal-Bowness on Windermere-etc

[hammer5]

Dry n overcast 8 - 10 everywhere. Does kickstart the day with -1 but by 10 it'll be good.

[Graham]

I put Bowness on there to see if it was any better than Buxton way. Looked at the map & Tom will have a treck to come & meet us this way so hope he's ok with it.

I'll confirm all later today mate

[hammer5]

I'm easy anywhere mate. Lakes is a good run.

[hammer5]

Meeting at Bury Mcdonalds at 10am.

From there, not decided yet..

[hammer5]

Great ride again, great to meet up with you all again, irrespective of the police littering the roads.

Where to next peeps? North lol
