Guest Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Anyone local to the Northwest planning on going to this rideout?Drop me a line if you want to go - I will be going and don't mind riding solo so don't feel obliged to meet up and ride in a group, but the the offer is there if anyone fancies it. Quote
TC Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 HI Phil Got a message to drop you a line Where and what timeWould you like to meetOn the way to the Mikey greet Quote
Guest Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Your attempt to be poeticHas acted like an emeticI have no steadfast planBesides and other thanFinding something ceramicIn which to hurl my sick! I am open to suggestions nearer the time - it was mainly a rallying cry for those who might shy at the prospect of a long, lonely ride to meet strangers. Quote
TC Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 it was mainly a rallying cry for those who might shy at the prospect of a long, lonely ride to meet strangers. Instead you can have a long lonely ride WITH strangers Quote

Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Parapanfan, whats your proposed route / timings etc... I'm tempted to come along.. Quote
Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 None at the minute, Franky.It is around a 3 hour ride from here according to Mr Gooooooogle, and if they are meeting at 10ish we would be more or less limited to the M62.Going the pretty way would be about 5 hours and that would mean a VERY early start - even earlier for you!!!

The Jade Mongoose Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I'm thinking of doing this. Will be setting off from Chesterfield on the sunday morning. Looking at the map it's a relatively straight road to Market Rasen. Anyone fancy meeting us somewhere near chesterfield? I chuffing hate riding to places i don't know by myself! Quote
duane69 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I'm thinking of going but I'm getting my tat finished off on saturday so don't know if I'll be able to get my leathers on, how late can I let you know if I'm going.regards Duane Quote
Guest Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I'm getting my tat finished off on saturday so don't know if I'll be able to get my leathers on, DuanePouf! I will make some more concrete arrangements next week - as CQ is only a couple of miles from me, you could leave it till the day itself - I'll work out what time we need to leave and let you have my mobile number nearer the day.

Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Parapanfan, i'm a possible on this, but will make my way down the A65.. scenic route... Jade Mongoose has my details (and I, His), so will hopefully see you at Market Rasen.. Quote
TC Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I was thinking of going from Stockport, Chesterfield, Worksop, Gainsborough, Market rasen.91 miles 2 hours 30 mins. Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Cool, if you're doing that route TC can I join you at/near Chesterfield? Quote
Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Hmmm never been to Willy woods!Seems a bit of a trek but when looked at as 91 miles from Stockport area then it suddenly seems a little Sunday run (since Manchester is easily accessible from here!)I'll not commit as yet but will keep an eye on things and let you know if I can be there for when you set off Sunday. Quote
TC Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Cool, if you're doing that route TC can I join you at/near Chesterfield? That would be great Matt i could meet you at the supermarket car park opposite the church where spire did the tag thing. Quote

I don't know where it is, but if you know what supermarket it is, Louise will know the way to it so she can direct me!Alternatively, do you know where the Autoworld bike place (i think its a Triumph dealership) is in Whittington near the big roundabout? May as well make the meeting place bike-related! Quote
TC Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Autoworld seems ok Mate could you pm me the postcode of it and mate you there.will arrange a time next week Quote
