GazW Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So the north west rideout section seems a bit dead, it was certainly a lot more lively this time last year. Could do with something to look forward to so just as the weather should be getting a little milder, is anyone up for planning some rideouts?Don't mind avoiding motorways and going at a leisurely pace if any 125 riders want to get involved. I'm located near Bolton, a stones throw from Rivington barn (challenge 100 location last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazW Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yayayayayayayay!Herro!I live in banks just outside of southport On a 125? We could do a Sunday where we follow the A49 up to Skipton, then cut through Grassington, up to Hawkes and back into the lakes on that road. Make a decision from there as to wether to head further up towards Keswick and maybe knock a few challenge 100 scores off or head back.There's some cracking roads round that way that you wouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage on, you'd struggle to maintain 60 on a big bike to be fair, winds all over the dales. Plus it's not going to be a case of getting off and leaving you, leave no man behind!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the 23rd? Hopefully the weather will have turned a bit by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_1986 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I try and get out most weekends if the weather is decent enough for it. I'm sure i could travel further if there is a few meeting up as long as there is some advance notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwdave Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Count me in. I'm commuting on it this week, anytime its not actually pi---ing down or freezing, I can make Rivington in around 30 minutes, and quite happy to potter in company, I'm definitely not a speed freak. Got a birthday party this Sunday, also usually available Saturdays, unfortunately also many Thurs & Fridays as only working part time at the moment.
