I maybe up for this one but can't confirm yet due to other commitments, however, this layby... Where? A google map would be good for me to plan.

its just b4 the TA pub, on the left (the taffia meet)........... i will be editing the OP with more details today
its my misses work leaving do the night before but will take it easy for this. looking forward to my first ride out (bless).
i will be there so long as i manage to find the starting place. if not i will have to hunt you guys down on the route so if a yellow poitny is flapping about behind you - that will be me.

YELLOW POINTY? nicccccccce (although its a pitty you dont have a black frame..... or do you?)
anywho, if you need any help finding the start just let me know?
i have edited 1st post with a link to starting point
no black frame as K4 but that would look the business.
have checked you map link and think i will be able to find it. will just have to get up a little bit earlier to allow for my burk like ability to always go past the turning i need first time.
any volunteers for tail end charlie?

Well Hannah knows that it is yours and she said she will make sure Drew doesn't eat it.
However if he does forget I put it in his tank bag! ;)
Poor Hannah looks interesting in my textile gear. As she is about half a foot shorter than me and her legs aren't the longest (she is also a smaller size than me) means the gear is hanging off her and makes her look even smaller :rolleyes: but she didn't care :D
Hannah looks interesting :D

cheers guys...............this was my first rideout that i planned and lead, and looking back i think it went ok.............
sorry we did not do the whole route, and it was a late finish, i did not relise how much the morning put us back. (it just goes to show why all junctions need to be marked)
and looking back at the map, we should have turned left at the petrol station at crosgates, not right (doh)
had a great day, thanks
Zombie Jesus
13-09-08, 07:56 PM
back in time for motogp :cool:
will post a log of the route when I figure it out
I've been told of all the tales sounds like you had a good day and i missed a good ride...... :(
but on a good note........... I now have a wedding dress ordered (would have rathered been on the ride) ;)
I dropped Hannah home and she said she was going straight to bed...... think drew is about to fall asleep on the sofa to :rolleyes:
Great ride out,nice one hovis, cant wait for next one.:cool:
Cheers guys, another top day out. Some of the best roads around with even better views, will definately be back :p
Big up to Hovis for organising :smt023
