Ok, I have started this as a new thread. Just a provisional idea, but what do people think of this.
Meet in Sandbach by Junction 17 of M6 (there is a petrol station just off the motorway), or at my hovel, sorry, house for a brew :)
Then a jaunt to Rudyard Lake, through to Buxton, then back over the Cat & Fiddle, through Macclesfield up to Northwich, take in J&S accessories, then home. All dependent on timings obviously. If people want to stay somewhere for a little longer, then why not, the route can always change :) The link is from my house btw

Looks like an awesome rideout (and very easy and quick for me to get to). Will pop along if weather/women/laptop delivery driver permits.
Where exactly are we meeting?
Hi, I've checked the route and it looks amazing. So I'd definitely like to go. If anyone is going from Manchester we can meet somewhere around and go together. I live in Prestwich.

Right, Executive decision, Sunday it is :)
Looking at the Met Office website, Sunday is looking good weatherwise.
The Petrol Station is HERE (http://www.multimap.com/s/gQA9Mlj6) Just off junction 17 of the M6 on the junction of Old Mill Road & Congleton Road
Anybody that wants to meet at my house, not a problem PM me & I'll give you the address & my mobile number.
How about 10am at the Fuel station

Seeing as you going ride past my house and using roads I seem to use most (C&F and riding to parents in Northwich) I shall more than likely join you. Probably wait to meet you at Bosley cross roads (A523/A54 junction) though rather than run to Sandbach.

Well looking at the route that’s in place we don’t actually hit that junction…. However that would mean do miss the road that runs along the top of the lake… Below is a slightly altered route to take in the crossroads where MRUKI intends to join us and also brings in the top road.
Col I hope you don’t mind me doing this…. Have a look at the change below and if your happy with it….(its just the route from Congleton to Rudyard that slightly different.) great… if not then its find by me….

No offence to either of you guys, but I don't see the point in changing the route to fit in with one guy. Mr UKI could you not meet us at Rudyard Lake as that is a planned stop?

I cant do this :(
I am out though. First i have to go to walsall to look at a mixer, then rugeley for bricks and then nantwich for the eldests then back home :)
Ill have this bike run in before the first service at this rate.
I had to ring them to say id be over 500 for the first service and they said a couple of hundred over wouldnt hurt. Is 300 over bad?

I'm not going to say that I'll come, because every time I've said that for the last umpteen rideouts I've had something come up in the last 24 hours to stop me from attending. However, I'm very interested in the route and it sounds like a good day, sooo... ;)

Just phoned BluePete and left a voicemail, only seen this just now and I'm heading out on the bike in an hour or so (just cutting the grass!), will try and catch you at Buxton if I can figure out what time you'll be there.

Nah, forget it, route planner says 45 minutes from J17 to Buxton, even if I left here now, still no way I'd catch you at Buxton. Hope by the time you read this you had a good day.

Wilky, sorry I didn't reply, but my pc threw a complete fit having the dreaded blue screen of death :(
I have had to change the hard drive, graphics card & remove my TV card & re format the whole thing about 5 times. It seems to be running ok now tho :) Thank goodness I keep all of my old computer stuff & dont throw anything away

25-05-09, 07:12 PM
Glad you all had a great time.... Mike and I weren`t sure we`d be able to make it but in the end we could :D
We got up nice and early, Mike had prepped the bikes the previous night so off we set. Got about 5 miles up the road and suddenly I felt ill, further 5 miles and I was convinced i was gonna either pass out or throw up in my helmet :( Got as far as Wrexham and had to pull into a petrol station where thankfully I managed to get my helmet off in time whilst running for the toilets :pukel:
I did tell Mike to go on and I`d get back on my own but ever the gent he insisted on coming with me.
Glad you all had a great time and looks like we missed a fabulous day :(
Gutted... hope your feeling better.
mister c
25-05-09, 07:45 PM
Sorted a Chippy run for you Claire & you end up being ill :(. The Buxton Chips were really nice as well :)
Sorry you & Mike couldn't make it, there will be other runs & there is always The Farmers meets. Hope you're feeling better & see you soon :)
One thing I forgot to add yesterday was a BIG thank you to Neeja, Blue Pete, DaveP & anybody else that helped on the junctions & being TEC, cheers people :)
