I should around Friday, the weather is looking good. At the moment looking at the long range to see what is the best day out of Fri/Sat/Sun. So far Friday looks the best.

Around the Harrow area, about 10-15 minutes from the Ace.

I'd be more up for a ride on the Saturday if this is an option!

I went out on Sunday whilst the roads were dry and loved it...untill it started bucketing it down!

Maybe, just looking for the best weather day, see what the long range brings up. But from what I have seen the weather is meant to be ok Friday and suck for the w/end. See what happens.

Looking at the weather at the moment, Saturday is looking the best weather day, plus the upside of a saturday is that we don't get caught in the Friday rush hour, which really does suck something bad!

I would suggest meeting at the Ace for 10-10.30am then head on out from there. How does that sound? from there head out and find some places to go.

Good/bad idea?

Afraid I won't be able to make the Saturday either this week. Opticians phoned me today and said that my glasses will be ready for Saturday and I need to attend a fitting appointment at 11:30, so kind of buggers up my plans for attending a ride!

Don't they open Sunday! Dang....

I can be free Friday, its a not a problem for me, but was looking at the best weather day. (fridays is dry however light quality looks a bit bad, today it wasn't great)

If y'll wanna meet Friday then thats sweet, I can work around everyone else.

Nah I workin Monday-Friday right now 9-5 which err different.

Let me know what y'll want to do. Same meeting place time if its a Friday?

We are now leaving at at 130pm (1330) so plenty of time to get the chain fixed and get back on the road. What is wrong with the chain exactly?

I'm new to riding so not good at route planning so basically would be looking to follow someone! :)

I work mon - fri and never really feel like a ride out after that! :)

I've got a couple of fridays off in a month or so, so maybe plan something for then.

I have some A/L to use well one day @ least so I could take Friday, though it has to be before the 13th March. Casue after that I'm away till the end of month almost.

I'm not around this w/end for ride outs, however the w/end after it could work.

Sounds perfect to me, hopefully Blue Thunder and some others may be able to make it, if not you up for just a ride around the local area?
TazDaz
26-02-09, 12:01 PM
Yeah I don't mind...just hope the weather is good enough! Not a fan of riding in the wet!

I've not been on many rides with other people so I'd be looking to follow rather than lead! ;)
