jimsoon Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 think I'll make this one hopefully, guess I'll meet you in Kendal, probably at the car park next to the river, near the bridge that goes across to the ski slope?? Hope you know where I mean. Quote

Hope you know where I mean.I know where you mean,How about you meet us at the petrol station off the roundabout, LA9 7EQ come in from the south of kendal, turn right at the lights, over the bridge, and then 1st exit of the next roundabout, garage immediately on the right.. we can all meet and fuel up..my numbers in contact info,Simon Quote
jimsoon Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I cant picture it, but im sure i'll find it, think i have your number in my inbox, andy has mine i think. Quote
blakeatron Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Looks like I have been volunteered for this! Should be free anyway - Jim I can meet you at the carpark then we can meet the others if you want? Quote
Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Blakey, Jimsoon, Been Chatting with Matt (Jade Mongoose) he thinks it would be better to meet at Morrisons (I agree), can fuel up from there and easy access out of town onto A6..so Andy if you want to meet Jimsoon and RV with us at Morrisons.just need to discuss timings, Jimsoon, you have the furthest start, so whats good for you..?

jimsoon Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 is Morrisons in the retail park bit, with a Honda garage and Halfords? if it is thats fine if everyone's happy.i dont mind an early start, if its nice! 9am ok, It'll take me about 45mins i reckon. so not too early for me to set off. Quote

jimsoon Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I was thinking 9am there, but 10 is fine with me Quote
Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I was thinking 9am there, but 10 is fine with mehey, i need my beauty sleep, don't fancy an 8am start unless its a schoolday..... Quote
blakeatron Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 hey, i need my beauty sleep Best meet after lunch then!So we are meeting at morrisons at 10 on sunday? Quote
Guest Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 hey, i need my beauty sleep Best meet after lunch then!So we are meeting at morrisons at 10 on sunday?Thanks Andy......... Thats the plan, unless noah decides to build another ark, my bike don't swim.. Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Well, according to Metcheck it might be an idea to plan for getting a tad moist on Sunday (and I don't mean due to the excitement of getting out on the bike after a week of rain!)Is everyone still up for this provided it isn't toooooo awful?Matt Quote
jimsoon Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 im not happy if its not dry! now I'm looking at the Hatton fight. Quote
blakeatron Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Not too bothered about the rain but if its pissing down I aint going!Also im working on monday now and really want to go drag racing Quote
jimsoon Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 if its nice tomorrow afternoon is any one playing out, I'll probably head up to devils, i hear its meant to be the best day, or you want to do this ride tomorrow?? Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Can't do the big ride tomorrow, haven't got time, but if it's nice I could meet you at devils for a brew in the afternoon. Weather forecast looks ok. PM me with your number Jim and i'll text you tomorrow lunch time if I can make it. Anyone else up for a devils meet?I think the consensus for Sunday is if we wake up and it's lashing down, forget it! Don't mind if I get a little wet while riding, but if it's raining before we even set off, that's a different story (with a much wetter ending!). Quote

Matt i'll Txt you for Weather Report.. and confirm if i'm in (staying) or out (riding)... Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Weather looks good, just maybe a few isolated showers. Everyone still up for this? Simon and Andy, meet at mine at quarter to ten. Jim, if you're still coming we'll meet you at Morrisons petrol station, A6 north out of Kendal, at 10 (along with anyone else who wants to come along). Let us know though. Quote
blakeatron Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 matt will text you in the morning, feel like shit at the moment Quote
Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Matt as mentioned i will RV with you at Hotel Jackson, and on to meet with Jim..Jim, will meet you at Morrisons, with Matt Quote
