Ricky Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Unfortunately won't be able to make this Saturday due to not being allowed time off in the morning and one of my closest friends dad has recently gone into a coma so I want to keep him company, I hope it's a good ride out for all those going and ride safe!

Just been round the corner in the car.....3 degrees on the outside temp sensor..... Think we need layers today!!Plan to leave around 9 and stop at Grantham services for warm up and fuel.....hopefully get the Squire's for 12 ish.....

Stu Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I see some where scared of the cold Good to see those that made it for those that didn't then hopefully see you through the year Didn't get too wet but by eck was it bloody cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Journey back was dire......heavy sleet around Newark, which covered the outside of the visor in slush and caused the inside to steam up.....couldn't see a bl**dy thing........and then the same thing around Grantham.....A nice covering on the road, so dropped the speed to 50, which most cars did too.......but it then cleared and had a decent run back from there........except Mandy broke down temporarily, which I think was carb icing due to the sudden drop in temperature. But we're both back safely now...... Was really nice to see those that made it up there....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 More than likely carb icing Bob! glad you wasn't stranded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonniebird Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes, it was an eventful run back. I called Green Flag but then cancelled them when I got going. The Bonnie is a right diva. The edge of the A1 is not fun with no hard shoulder when it is sleeting and hailing with lorries going past. Fortunately I wasn't too far from a junction and a guy stopped to help me. He wasn't a biker but probably should be. He had an awesome platted beard! I'd already lost Bob because we couldn't see bugger all. Bob went back for the car while I phoned the breakdown people but when the sun came out, Bonnie decided to start!Need some beer now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
