Week commencing 15th Sept.

[nman1]

Right, having learnt I`ve kept my job, I am now on leave from 15th to 19th Sept. I`m looking to take a ride out up North or accross the midlands with a stop over in a B + B. Thinking of taking in Alton Towers, possibly Blackpool. Anyone care to join me for a couple of hours/days or just meet up, let me know and we can start to arrange times and places. I fully intend to stick quite a few miles on the bike, preferably non-motorway (too bloody boring) so I`m open to suggestions as to where to go. My Uncle lives in Scunthorpe so that too is a possibility. Can`t wait.

get another 3 days on there and we can go lands end and ill show you some fab roads in scotland...if i can get time off that is

[nman1]

Feck me that sounds like far too many miles mate. Lands end and scotland . Furthest I`ve done in one day was about 350 miles. I know some on here who have done far, far more than me. I get bored on motorways or too many duel carriageways so I tend to stick to minor A roads and B roads.

Clay Cross bike shop... I like it. Good roads to and from and a chance to drool over bikes and have a coffee!!

[nman1]

Sounding good folks, I`ll try and sort out a route nearer the time. If you can pm with post codes, I can check on the route planner how to get to places.

Looking forward to it, I need the break.

You,ve got to do Settle up to Ribblehead - Hawes - Buttertubs pass (google that for a video) Tan hill pub is at the end of that for a cracking dinner (highest pub in UK) than over to Devils bridge and on to the lakes.

OOOOOOOOOOOOohhhhhhhhh when you coming.

[nman1]

Not sure TC, I plan on starting my trip on Monday 15th, and just riding till I feel like dropping. I`ll try and work a route out over the next couple of weeks and post it up in case anyone wants to meet up.

[TC]

At the Moment Neil i'm off on weds and thurs Let us know where you are around then and (weather dependent) i'll catch up with you.

Could go through yorkshire to the lakes.

PM me your mobile number TC and I`ll see where abouts I am on those days. Don`t mind hanging around for you to get to where I am as I`ll have a look around while I wait. Don`t forget, from 4.00pm tonight I`m off line. Be good to meet up
