guitarman Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I'm going to make more of an effort this year to make the Tuesday meets, if they are still happening without the Marina. It will be my last opportunity as I move out of the area in the summer.
Tango Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 The Tuesday evening meets tend to start in earnest after the clocks go forwards.....so the beginning of April should see us start to dip a toe into the regular meets..... If the Marina is still shut (which it looks like it will be) we'll probably decamp to Ultimate Bike Gear in Papworth....although I don't know when they start to fire the BBQ up on Tuesday evenings....I'll see if I can find out.....

Late in the season last year me and my friend Simon ended up at this pub near Papworth on a Tuesday evening... it was rammed with bikers... now if I can remember the name or the location that might be helpful...
nman1 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 There's a new costa and mc d's at the Caxton gibber roundabout. Could be a place to stop/meet if the bbq's not out yet.
RantMachine Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Just had the first biking & camping trip of the year, so we're officially all ready to go, as soon as something starts.
Seabluegal Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 So...Clocks go back this weekend.Tuesday 1 April has the potential to be the first Tuesday meet of the year!!Anything going down???
Mr Fro Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 So...Clocks go back this weekend.Tuesday 1 April has the potential to be the first Tuesday meet of the year!!Anything going down???I could get down with that (providing I dig a bike out of the garage). Already got a day pass from the dorris sorted!
nman1 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 May well do myself. Will post up on Monday if I`m about. Where are we going to meet ???????
Seabluegal Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 May well do myself. Will post up on Monday if I`m about. Where are we going to meet ??????? Hmmm... where.... Is Papworth running again yet???
nman1 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Not too sure, I think Bob mentioned something about finding out, but nothing stopping us riding over there anyway.Bob, do you have Darren`s phone number, I lost it when I changed phones and he must think I`m a right tow rag not getting in touch for so many months. PM me with it if you do. Ta
Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Hi new to the site, but read your thread & thought you might want to know that Ultimate Bike Gear in Papworth is closing down. Think they have a last sale weekend this weekend, but they are selling up & moving.
guitarman Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Hmm, with Hartford Marina gone and Ultimate going, what are we going to do
Seabluegal Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 At the end of last season I went to a pub near Papworth on a Tuesday and it was absolutely packed with bikers...I just need to remember the name of the pub and the directions...But it's definitely a possibility if Hartford and Papworth are out.
Guest Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 If it was a Tuesday it might have been my club (Hunts Bikers), as we meet at The Eltisley (pub) in Eltisley near Papworth on a Tuesday night once a month. It's a great pub, has plenty of hardstanding for parking & has a good garden for sitting outside in the warmer weather
Tango Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up HondaBL1......shame to hear about ultimate bike gear moving...... There's a meet at the Crown & cushion pub in Great Gransden on the 3rd Wednesday of the month which is worth a run to...... We'll have to have to trawl around to see what else there is.......
Mr Fro Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 So what's the dealio dudes? I'm taxing the ninja tomorrow so am booking the day as leave. Anyone else out and about in the evening?
nman1 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 May very well be Mr Fro, we`ll all have to work out somewhere to meet up.
RantMachine Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 My heart sank when I read about Ultimate Bike Gear Maybe someone should suggest to Wheelfit that they start doing a BBQ to fill the void...?
eastanglianbiker Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 at the rate we are losing places to go we will have to chip in and buy a forum burger van to park up in big layby on nice summer evenings and weekend and work a rota in it
Tango Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The Swan at Elsworth near Connington apparently has a bike meet on Tuesday evenings. Not sure if I will be back in time this evening......but if I am it could be a good alternative. ....
Tango Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Just to clarify. .....it's the White Swan pub, Connington road near elsworth.....not far from hilton, st ives and fenstanton.....
nman1 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Anyone want to meet at the marina entrance around 6.00ish for the ride over to Conington. I know the pub as I used to pass it every day on the way to my old work place in Boxworth.Be good to meet up again Bob and Mandy if you can make it.
RantMachine Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 My bike is at the hospital for a few days, so I can't join the fun this week
Tango Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Currently in Woolwich. ....but if I get back in time I'll try to get to the marina by 6. If I'm not there by 6 assume that I'm running late.
nman1 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Will do Bob. I`ll wait till about 6.15ish then if no one shows I`ll make my way home or go for a blat. Shame Ollie, next week and everyone else hopefully
