6th June. Buxton Chippy Run 2.

[mister c]

It was decided by the Committee (thanks peeps ;)) to run the Buxton Chippy run once again. I am going to focus this one on more of an introduction to run outs for anybody that hasn't been on one yet.
It wont be too fast, or too long, the same as last year really, with some lovely views around Derbyshire & Staffordshire.
I am going to ride a route this weekend, probably changing the meeting place to Northwich, which is easier for people to get to than Sandbach.

So, set the date for Sunday 6th June, hope the weather is good & I will post up the route on Sunday

:):):)

[Luckypants]

Good man Col! :thumleft: I should be on for this one.


Like the new name for Claire too ('The Committee' :smt046)

[Grey Rider]

Sounds good, ill be up for that

[slark01]

At a wedding on the 5th. If i'm not too drunk then i'm going.

Ste.

I'll be tempted to invade your get together for some chip.

How come your planning Buxton as opposed to Matlock which is only a bit further but has better chips and more to see :p

With it being aimd at the newer riders to the forum... this area will be quieter i suppect and .... well that cant hurt on a newbie ride out i wouldnt think.

Dave

[mister c]

It will be a nice short ride of about 90 miles, like Dave says, nice easy bimble.
Last year most were home for about 2pm, so could spend a bit of time doing other things if need be.
We will be taking in Rudyard Lake, The Cat & Fiddle, Buxton & maybe J&S Accessories.
Mike, I was trying to be diplomatic lol.

Wow what an excellent suggestion! i`ll be there and it`d be a great opportunity for all the recent newcomers to the Border Patrol to meet everyone and get an idea of what a group rideout is like. As Col says there`s no pressure to go fast and keep up, you ride at a pace you`re comfortable with and nobody will be left on their own.

[Dave20046]

mmm chips, will pop along if I'm free.

[mister c]

Did the recce today with Brettus (thanks for the company :)) Got lost on a couple of occasions & need to sort out another route past Macclesfield, there are too many roundabouts in too short a space. I will work on it & see what I come up with. Good to see a bloke with a death wish on the RC8 KTM up & down the Cat & Fiddle, jeez he was quick (sod the 50 mph limit eh mate?), but it only takes one wrong move
Found some really nice places & it was nice to end up in the midst of a Charity Motorcycle run through Leek & miss the flaming turning for Stoke. lol
Sorry Missus Brettus for keeping him out so long, wont happen again :)

Sign of a good ride out lol

[Brettus]

Really good to get out and about today, thanks again Mister C for letting me tag along. Mrs Brettus wasn't bothered with the time we had been out, just that I had neglected to check in ;)
Was a good test ride, found some interesting new places, some to avoid :) some really good roads though, can't wait for the 6th now, hope the weather is half as good as it was today.

First time out with my camera for ages so can't resist posting them, not a spoiler for those attending, more a taster to whet the appetite!

admittedly the first two are from my iPhone.

Sorry if the pictures look a bit hot or bright, I had to post process them on my TV so the colours might be a little off.

[7755matt]

Should be well up for this :-)

[mister c]

I wanted to get this right in my head, so have done the route again today & found some better roads. Thanks to Uki for the input as well :) I didn't get lost once today, so that is encouraging.
I will post the full route up once Google decides to play ball with me (I have tried 4 times & it keeps crashing on me)
Lets hope the weather is kind to us on the 6th, I'm really looking forward to it now :)

[mister c]

Right, here we are. I have tried to miss as much of Macclesfield out as possible & have also found a really nice road from Jodrell Bank to Congleton. It has added a few miles onto the journey, but I think it will be worth it.
There will be 3 stops: Buxton, Rudyard Lake & Mow Cop, unless people want to stop at the Cat & Fiddle pub & I will do that as well.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=103922039572662704033.00048740c29bb2f116193&ll=53.187933,-2.210999&spn=0.234517,0.826035&t=h&z=11

As stated before, this wont be a fast rideout, some of the roads are a bit narrow to say the least, but I have also kept some A roads as well. I could do with somebody opting to be TEC to try & keep everyone together (something I forgot last year).
I am really hoping it's as good as last year & we get blessed with the weather.

So, if we meet at J & S Accessories in Northwich for, say, 9.30 - 10am on Sunday 6th June.

[Speedy Claire]

Pics look fantastic guys... really can`t wait now. Many thanks Col for all your hard work, really appreciate it :D

[Bluepete]

After this weekend, this is just what I need. I'll be there.

Pete

[Brettus]

Route looks really good now Mister C, even managed to take in another body of water I see. Could almost do a reservoir tour in that area, didn't realise there were so many!

Unless someone more experienced wants to take over I'll go TEC. I don't mind a bimble and I like to enjoy the scenery.

My usual caveat though I'm afraid, if its persisting down I don't think I'll be along, have enough riding in the rain/sleet/snow due to necessity so I don't need to do it for pleasure.

Lets get a roster going for an idea of numbers:

1: Brettus (TEC) - Weather Permitting.
2:

[Owenski]

Davenumbers, if you're thinking of doing this I'm tempted an might meet you at the Baslow roundabout if you fancy doing it twice effectivly.

[Preston]

ill see how things are not sure if am going to beable to ride a bike that soon after the opp..

Yes mate. If everybody can meet at J&S Accessories between 9.30 & 10am. Will be meeting a couple of people en route, but should be stopping at The Cat & Fiddle, Buxton (for refreshments), Rudyard & Mow Cop, then back to J&S, who will be open by then, so if people want a mooch, they can :)

[Grey Rider]

Count me in! sounds amazing, might even bring out the rim tape. Great work with the organisation

I hadnt put myself on the list, but for those I'd considered arranging to meet Im going to have to bow out. Its been booked as a wedding planning weekend.

[Quiff Wichard]

J and S for those that dont know..

you need to turn down the one way street at the cross roads with the lights on.. wide main road is bisected by this smaller road - so that J and S is on your left then turn left in to J and s car park..

if you go on the the bigger car park at back its not j and s car park..


make sense?

[Grant66]

Found myself at a loose end, can I come?

J&S, is that in Northwich?

Sorry if I've missed this but just to double check - you're doing it clockwise ,right? i.e j&s -through macc- to buxton and back?
Just working out where to drop in...

[mister c]

Yes Dave, from Northwich to Congleton, Cat & Fiddle, Buxton, Rudyard, Mow Cop :)

Yeah I'd been checking that, was looking doubtful yesterday with 20-30mm of rain but its all but dissipated now. Awesome as I'd have been gutted to not go.
http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/tomorrow.asp?zipcode=congleton metcheck has a more detailed guesstimate, shows it being OK most of the day.

Looking forward, gonna give my bike some attention today so make sure its presentable for tomorrow. (or at the very least, noticable that its blue ;)) Must remember to clear my card for taking pics too, I think it will be quite a picturesque day.

Ha I must remember to TAKE my SD card out of the pc and put it in the camera before I go.. went there today and had to use the phone cos no card.. idiot me.. will put some pics up to whet your appetites in a min.. we took the mountain bikes and rode right round it - twice! and went on the lake in a row boat.. was fun..

ooh cool, look forward to seeing them, just been putting together my kit of camera goodies, taking my macro lens aswell just incase I see anything.
Takes a good portrait too. Even packing my tripod so I can look like the complete photo nerd ;) (wanna try some longer exposures)

Sorted my bike out, glad I'm last (and I don't have any epileptics behind me) my second set of indicators didn't have the resistor so its gonna be a bit blinky tomorrow. the seller is sending out some but won't be here till tuesday.

its now clean (by my standards at least)
has had the chain tensioned, cleaned and oiled,
tyre pressures checked and rectified.
oil checked, should be good to go for tomorrow.

[Quiff Wichard]

you could get a resistor from J and S tomoz at end of ride

[Brettus]

I picked up a replacement today from HG but it doesn't seem to work right, so will return them and await the ones from the Oxford kit, I don't mind being a bit flashy for the weekend :-)

[mister c]

I have had a major set back today & I'm hoping to get it rectified by the run. I have been for a run today & stopped at a pub for a drink. I came to start it & the battery is flat. I have just got back thanks to my race bike battery & help from my son.
I can feel the heat on the side panel where the regulator is, I have one, but off the newer model, so need to have a shufty at it. I am doing it in the morning as I've had a bit of a long day
I am hoping that it is this & I will see everybody in the morning.

[Brettus]

I have had a major set back today...
I've got that (currently superfluous) curvy sat in my yard if you need me to take a bit off and bring it over early doors I can do so (you will have to explain which part though as I'm unsure off the top of my head)

[Quiff Wichard]

just spent 5 mins loadin me pics.. and then the site logged em off and me pics went
I post em again.

we just went on the mountain bikes round the lake - twice ! it says it 5 mile round but it cant be.. me cant do ten miles..

then we went rowing.. ha was fun..

lake looks so so much nicer when you on it.. and it is mahooosive..
oh and the little steam train was there too..

I know :(

I has been out today but on me own.
Visiting the expectant mum you see. At least I got to take the bike :)
Mrs Skeetly had been there since yesterday.
7 days over due now and I nearly took here for a ride on the bike to get things going............

[boot]

Some parts have been issued weather warnings (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/em/em_forecast_warnings.html). Doesn't put me off the ride, we might not see a drop, but for those packing camera gear, would be worth making sure you can keep it dry.

Rained here about 4.30, it is wet, but no rain now. Regulator fitted, battery charged & fingers crossed lol.

[7755matt]

it hammered it down in Biddulph in the early hours, still drizzly here

Im pulling out, sorry, but im still confidence building and wet greasy day is not what I need.

Take care round Staffs Moorlands, the contractors have been out getting the grass in, could be slippy

I'll try and get out on the next one.

If it dries out later then I may bimble about and see if I can catch you up

[G]

Torrential rain here with some awsome thunder still on going. Been like this since 3am.

Edit: 10 - 15 miles east of Matlock

[Quiff Wichard]

cold and miserable here.. news tyres on.. unsure whether to come or not.. if we aint there by 10 at J and S then dont wait. may wait and see if it clears up and meet you at Rudyard..

[Icanopit]

Sorry all, wont make this morning as I have been unwell overnight and won't risk riding have taken large amount of medication.

Have a good ride out and hope to meet up again in the very near future.

Looks as though the weather your way is closing in, here near Coventry is quite bright but overecast but with the threat of showers.

Sorry all JOHN

[Brettus]

I'm gearing up, can't guarantee I'll make the entire course though as if it really is torrential then I'll be heading back homewards ;) looking forward to it though, fingers crossed the weather departs buxton area before we get there, its looking to be heading off to the east this afternoon

[Daywalker]

Have a safe ride out every one & hope the rain stays off and i'll make the next ride out guy's.

[Dave20046]

chips in the sun...

[Electro]

Home safe. Cheers Mister c for all your work and cheers brettus for TEC`ing. Had a great day, nice to meet a few more peeps :)

[Brettus]

Home safe too, was a really good rideout, thanks to everyone for marking the junctions, went really well I thought. Will start processing my pics before too long hopefully up later tonight. nice to meet all of you, hope you all enjoyed it!
Nice to follow Mike back through Faddily bends, see how they SHOULD be ridden. (sorry if I was holding you up Claire) and hope you get home safely.

[mister c]

Yup, home safe now. Thanks everyone for turning up I was shocked to see so many people in the rain. Good to meet some new faces as well, can put faces to names on here.
Once again thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable day & top marks & big thanks to Brettus for TECing, cheers mucker.

Heres to next years :)

Hi, this is Karina, Gareth's wife. Does anyone know what happened to him? I've had a call from Macc hospital to say he came off and they think he has a broken shoulder?
I'm really worried, I can't get over to him as I don't drive so any info would be good.

Oh no!, so sorry to hear this, don't even have any useful information though I'm afraid just best wishes. Wish I could help more.

Really sorry to hear that Karina, hope you get more information soon. Not much help but all I know is that he was heading back with Dave20046 after we all split for home at Mow Cop (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Mow+Cop&ll=53.112163,-2.209625&z=10).

Alex (Grey Rider) has just text me, he's home safe now. Has no internet connection so asked me to let you all know.

Hi Karina
Gareth should have my number I've just rang him but it's gone through to answer phone. I'm available all night if you need someone to pick him up (car) and get him home. I'll message you my number, thanks.
