[Specialone]

Back up route?

Got this one from long itch to Melton Mowbray from the other thread (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Long+Itchington,+Southam,+United+Kingdom&daddr=52.2540303,-1.3482801+to:52.2842,-1.1503+to:52.4062132,-1.0491069+to:Harborough+Rd%2FB6047+to:52.55142,-0.72685+to:Melton+Mowbray,+United+Kingdom&geocode=FarJHQMdlMDq_ymD05OT3jZ3SDE2-zF-cE_hQQ%3BFU5VHQMdSG3r_ylHiNc4ETp3SDHgPlPMI4sNEw%3B FSjLHQMdpHLu_yl9ZkfB6BV3SDGJ8PcW4A2_iw%3BFcWnHwMd7 v3v_ykNaAKvXWx3SDEAtTO4qBwOEw%3BFcA5IQMdIqHx_w%3BF fzeIQMdvuj0_ykPcnnOJIN3SDEB1LuGROzSGw%3BFVseJQMdbn zy_ylBYXp2H9R5SDGwSsO7qBwOBQ&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrsp=5&sz=10&via=1,2,3,5&sll=52.516221,-0.656433&sspn=0.425367,1.448822&ie=UTF8&ll=52.806912,-0.865173&spn=0.422547,1.448822&t=h&z=10)

I'd still rather ride north wales if the weather is good lol... I'm sick of riding that loop around Melton and Market Harborough ;) but I'll do it if the weather is b ad for some company :rolleyes:

The Long Itch is fecking miles in the wrong direction for me though (bloody southerners) so I'll meet around market harborough or melton if that end up being the preferred choice.

[G]

This is probably the route that Speirs took you on. It's pretty good but a bit short.

Yeah that route looks about right.
You're moaning about long itch but was prepared to travel 2.5 hours to ruthin on the BP ride :rolleyes: its a lot closer lol

[mike636]

something along these lines possibly???


could even possibly meet at this itch place too??

It's a nice ride to Ruthin, leading to more nice roads and a good day out... it's a **** ride to Long Itch (for me anyway) to then just turn around to come back to some ok roads which I ride all the time.

I'm willing to go a bit further for something that's worth it, I don't want to go miles out of my way just to come back and ride my local roads.

[-Ralph-]

Ignore the feckin' weather forecast until you get out of your pit on Saturday morning and look out of the windows.

We are such a comparatively small island that the weather forecasters don't have a clue more than 12 hours in advance. They are looking at something that's happening over the Atlantic or the North Sea and it completely changes once it hits land. I know one of the Scottish BBC forecasters and she admitted that in Central Scotland because there is only 50 miles between the Forth and Clyde Estuaries (essentially east to west coast) that more than 4 hours in advance they actually don't have a clue. It's all guesswork. That's why one website can say rain, whilst the other says sunshine, a different person made a different guess.

Look out of the window in the morning, then I've found that Rain Today website someone posted on here is really useful, then decide if you are going to do the rideout.

[Specialone]

Weather has changed for the better for saturday looking at various sources :)

[Binky]

Have we figured out whose leading this ride yet? I can try as i know most of the roads but my memory will be a bit hazy...

I'll make routes to go on my top yoke as well mind.

[Specialone]

The only difficult bit IMO is from quatt cafe to Newtown, everything else is straight forward and sign posted.
I won't be going north from crossgates tbh, it's 90 mins from crossgates to mine, if I go to Bala etc it will be a slog to get home from there.

Are we still doing Wales or MH, MM ?

[Binky]

I may be forced into MH/MM as i'm not sure the mechanic will be able to fit my chain and sprockets in time tomorrow for me to get home to Sutton...

[robh539]

Hey not looked at route, but I assume your going quatt a458 to morville then left to craven arms. Have a great ride guys. i love them roads to newtown, Just keep ya eyes peeled on that leg ;)

[Specialone]

That's fine with me mr binkster, either will be a good laugh :)

[Mr Speirs]

If I am honest I would prefer to do MH loop rather than Wales. Money is tight for me this month and I am now working the night before so won't get to bed early enough to warrant a day trip to wales.

[Specialone]

Well that settles it then ?
I ain't fussed tbh, it will mean I'll do similar miles so no problem for me.

If youre defo coming chris, drop me a text Saturday morning about 8.30-9 to remind me about the pegs and indys and I'll bring them with me.

[ravingdavis]

I would rather do the MH ride too, quite a lot closer to me than Wales :)

[mike636]

ok , it looks like the MH ride is the preffered. do we have a deffinate route for that one yet??

[Binky]

MM/MH it is then. Rough route sorted in previous page IIRC...

[Specialone]

Still ok for long itch meet ?

[ravingdavis]

Still ok for long itch meet ?

Works for me.

[christian1000]

Just trying to catch up with this and find out what the plan is...my apologies but im somewhat confused :confused: which is the MH route? Is that still meeting at Alans cafe? I'll now put my dunces hat on sit in the corner and await enlightenment.

MH = Market Harbourgh, the route that Mike put up a few posts ago. We will likely be starting at the Long Itch Diner

Don't worry about being a dunce either, specialone has that pretty well covered.

[Specialone]

Feck you raping ladies, you are well dumb init:)

[Specialone]

Yeah I'm the only one who put up with you when you lived in brum !!

[ravingdavis]

Don't you still owe me some beers after all those I bought you in Brum too?

[Specialone]

Oh yeah that's it, my memory isn't what it was ;)

[christian1000]

Sorry to interrupt this touching trip down memory lane but I have an additional question :) is there any idea of a time for meeting at that long itch diner?

[-Ralph-]

Yeah I'm the only one who put up with you when you lived in brum !!

Take all the feckin' credit why not. Putting up with him wasn't an easy job you know.

[Specialone]

Sorry to interrupt this touching trip down memory lane but I have an additional question :) is there any idea of a time for meeting at that long itch diner?

Sorry dude, just some banter.

10.00am be ok for everybody, bit of snack and a tea leave for around 10.45?

[speedplay]

I'm not coming guys.

Going green laning instead :)

[ravingdavis]

Get lost, don't you start.

Sorry to interrupt this touching trip down memory lane but I have an additional question :smile: is there any idea of a time for meeting at that long itch diner?

Not sure one has been proposed so being the only other sensible adult on here at the moment I shall suggest 9:30 for a 10:30 leave?

[christian1000]

Sorry dude, just some banter.

Haha I wasnt complaining, im having a good chuckle over this end.

Boo :(
We still haven't done some of that together have we :(

I should organise the dirty weekend shouldn't I?

[speedplay]

Sorry Phil,

I'm losing the taste for riding on the road lately so am concentrating more on the dirt side of things.

Have finally bought a trailer too....:)

[Specialone]

Fair enough Rob, quite a few have turned gay and given bikes up, at least you're still riding albeit on dirt.

Me and Col must get together with you for some dirt fun :)

[ravingdavis]

Ahhh, how cute. Three old men getting together and playing in the mud.

[Specialone]

Ahhh, how cute. Three old men getting together and playing in the mud.

You still here? Thought it was your bedtime ?

[G]

I'm pretty bored of riding around the MH/MM area every damn weekend, so if the weather is going to be reasonable I'll still be heading to Wales. I may tag along if the forecast turns really bad in Wales but good in MM.

Have a good one chaps.

I'm not the only one who sat on that cruiser. I least I dont wear boots that look like they belong on Brighton sea front.

[ravingdavis]

Yes they are. Nothing wrong with that, not done a track day yet this year.

Wasnt wearing my dads jumper though...;)

Neither was I. Is that the best you got?

[Specialone]

Arww, everybodys have a go at dave, from a bystander though, it did look like your dads jumper, just saying :)

[ravingdavis]

Does that mean you like the jumper Phil, you must be nearly the same age as my Dad. You are quite old I think?

[Specialone]

Does that mean you like the jumper Phil, you must be nearly the same age as my Dad. You are quite old I think?

Yep I liked it :)
In fact I've probably got one similar ;)

Not quite as old as your dad I think, can he make Saturday btw or too far for him ?

[christian1000]

This is starting to get personal....wonder when the scratching and eye poking is going to start :-D

[robh539]

none of that will happen just fondling haha.

Im laughing here read this thead, shame i cant get my leg over the bike these days would of been a laugh with ya all.

[christian1000]

Oh..so its that kind of "ride out" then eh....hmmmm

[Littlepeahead]

Don't you still owe me some beers after all those I bought you in Brum too?

He did buy you those beers but someone 'stole them'...

[robh539]

Don't you still owe me some beers after all those I bought you in Brum too?

You brought beer? i dont believe it ;)

[Specialone]

You brought beer? i dont believe it ;)

Nope, he was being ironic I think or sarcastic, one of the two or both who knows :)
I think hes referring to when he was a student peasant and we subsidised him a bit.

[ravingdavis]

Nah he isn't coming, I did tell him about it but hes doing a police bike safe thingy.

He did buy you those beers but someone 'stole them'...

Oi! Your supposed to be on my side and besides your not even nor ever have been a madlander!!! This means you have to be nice to me.

You brought beer? i dont believe it ;)

Of course I didn't buy any beer. I was as tight as a ducks a*se last year while a student. You guys bought all my beer remember :)

[robh539]

ok glad thats cleared up. I was feeling cheated then lol, :confused: both its dave.

[-Ralph-]

I least I dont wear boots that look like they belong on Brighton sea front.

Hahahaha! That was the best laugh in this thread so far! (Not the wit Dave, the picture)

[Mr Speirs]

Ok G, for deserting us for a Sheep Shagging Soiree, you are a big gay and I hate you...cos I wanted to ride your new bike.

So...I will probably want to meet at Market Harborough. As it'll be easier for me, will probably meet Binky there too as I doubt he'll want to ride to Long Itch just to come back up again.

Shall we arrange a new start point then?

Ps i think G is gay as well for not coming out with us, but ill retract that if i can ride it too ;)

[ravingdavis]

I am happy to have a start point closer to MH too.

[Mr Speirs]

I was saying that I will meet you guys at MH. Got nothing against others meeting at Long Itch and riding up.

Although a meet point closer or at MH might work out better as if you guys aren't leaving Long Itch until 10.45 then it'll be a bit late of a meet at MH.

[mike636]

might be best for me metting at mcdonalds on the roundabout in MH, on the A6/ B6047????

[MisterTommyH]

I'm out. Broke the electrics and will need Saturday to fix it.

Thats similar times to what we done the other week though Chris and we got it all done :)
I know its further for me and maybe some others but i dont mind a meet place closer to the start of the 'loop' if its easier, dont really wanna be picking people up all along the route.
That said if anyone is unsure of how to get over there i can still meet at long itch if needs be but just wont stop for food.

Yeah I would be up for a meet at long itch before journeying further on to the actual meet place.

[rusty76]

What time start are we thinking of? Is there anywhere near MH that does a good brekkie?

[Specialone]

Macdees?
I think some research is needed, brekkie is as important as the ride :)

[rusty76]

I'll do maccydees if desperate but would much prefer a fry up

[mike636]

mmmmmmmmm ........ fry up.

so lets get this thing finalised.... binky you have gone quiet recently (again). tutut..

whos actually coming, and who's is meeting who where?

finalise route?? been looking at the quick route i mocked up and found some detours on some nice roads..

find a leader for the whole thing??

and most of all... brekkie in the morning.( maccies being a last resort)

[Specialone]

The route mr speirs lead us on the other week is a good one, nice A roads but not stinky tiny and bumpy as feck, so dont get adding in any of those mike, i dont like the tiny B roads, too many blind corners and cars cutting them.

have a look at this route? just about right for one tank of fuel, some really nice roads, there are a few bits of b roads but also a lot of nice open roads across from six hills to bourne.

opinions???

[Binky]

Spiers should lead, i'll meet where ever, lets wing the ride after sorting a definite meeting point. Sorted. Yes OK. Night all.

Ps i think G is gay as well for not coming out with us, but ill retract that if i can ride it too ;)

Lol... I think you pair are gay Melton pie lovers for riding the same bloody roads week after week... Where your sense if adventure, it gets boring.

And no ones riding my bike :P try one in a shop ;)

Lol, I do like a good pie :)

In my defence mate, this will only be my 2nd time of riding those roads so hardly every week !!

Weather is gonna turn over Wales tomorrow afternoon so that puts me off tbh, I did crossgates over 10 times last year so rode that more than anywhere else, so this is a change for me.

The BP lot are meeting late ain't they ? I wouldn't get back until 8pm if i went there.

[G]

It's reasonably late yeah, the weather doesn't look to bad, but then two day ago the whole country was covered in sun for two weeks so I'll keep an eye onbit today... I don't want to ride in wind and rain for 12hr in Wales if it's going to be nice here that's for sure.

[Mr Speirs]

Ok I'm leading then. Mike had a look at the route, basically what I reckon we are going to do with some slight alterations.
Unfortunately there's not much in the way of fry up places thats not in town centre at MH that I can think of.
And I feel Long Itch is a bit too far out of the way, but saying that if everyone is willing to travel to meet at Long Itch it sorta makes the route long enough to put Rutland Water as a Lunch Stop.
We can stop briefly at the MH McD's/Petrol Station for anyone wishing to meet us en route who didn't fancy riding to Long Itch.
My only concern with the Long Itch option is if there is anyone meeting us at MH then we won't be there until around 12ish unless we put the leaving time back from Long Itch.

So options people:

A. Long Itch Diner, Fry Up
B. Market Harborough, McD's
C Long Itch Diner then onto Market Harborough McDs to pick up people meeting there (we won't be stopping long at all, 5 mins to say hello and then out)

If everyone is ok meeting at Long Itch then we shall be aiming to leave at 11.
If we are all meeting at MH we shall be aiming to leave at 11.

If we are meeting at Long Itch but end up meeting a few people en route at MH does anybody meeting at Long Itch have any objections to leaving earlier to give the MH guys a longer day? Say aiming to leave at 10.

We shall be ending the ride at Market Harborough.

Any thoughts?

Is this list now up to date and correct?

[ravingdavis]

My vote is the McDs at MH. Although I would prefer the fry up its just a tad out of the way for me.

[mike636]

there is a layby about 100 yards from maccie d's with a decent cob van in if that appeals to anyone??

[rusty76]

I guess I'll ride down to MH with Mikey

I don't mind meeting at McD's but am happy to go earlier to hunt down and devour a proper big brekkie with the hardcore carnivores

Sounds like a good alternative to McD's breakfast.

[Binky]

Where the hell is the long itch diner? Google is saying around 30 miles from MH. Is that the right place, near Southam?

If so i'll probably just meet you guys at the MH meet point...

[Mr Speirs]

Yeah that's the place.
Ok so theres Binky, Mike, Rusty, David all meeting at MH

I guess the only sensible thing to do is meet at MH then?
That ok with you Phil?
Burger van down the road for a greasy breakfast?

[Binky]

So where is this burger van exactly? Could someone Google Map us to the point please?

When that's done i'll see you guys in that lay-by for about 10:30 for an 11:00 leave then. Lovely stuff.

This is the only label I can think of...

never seen a van in there selling food though?

[Mr Speirs]

If you do a street view you will see a burger van...for the first time ;)

[G]

I love how the googlemobile actually went into the lay-by haha.

That's never been there when I've been past in the week.

[zobers]

I'll be coming if I feel ok after tonights actions. :) I'll text Russ in the morning to see what's happening!

[Littlepeahead]

Oi! Your supposed to be on my side and besides your not even nor ever have been a madlander!!! This means you have to be nice to me.



Of course I didn't buy any beer. I was as tight as a ducks a*se last year while a student. You guys bought all my beer remember :)

I know you're only riding all that way so you don't have to buy me a beer at Jo and Jambo's wedding celebration tomorrow night.

But if you meet at Maccy D's can you save me the toy from your happy meal as you're still too young to be allowed grown up food aren't you?

Are you coming now you know there's a burger van?

[G]

I'm on a diet... ;) (todays huge lunch was a blip)

I'm keeping an eye on the weather at the moment... and Wales isn't looking promising. I'm not doing 12hrs on the bike in the rain, I'd sooner wait for a sunny day for a day out like that.

How did this topic ever become 20 pages long :o
