Mega Cool Ride Out - May 21st

[Binky]

Sup chumps. So who fancies something big, and no i'm not talking about Mr Speirs' ego.

There's a few of us showing interest to a mid May rideout, not 100% on where we are going yet. Possibly somewhere around Market Harlborough/Rutland, maybe into Wales/Cross Keys or possibly further north and towards the Ponderosa. Any suggestiosn other suggestions or ideas welcome.

No excuses if you have to travel far to the start point. This will not be one to miss...

Discuss... :D

Shame I'll be thrashing my Daytona round the Republic of Ireland that weekend (actually as much as I love you all, it's not, it'll be ace!), but I was dying to find out what abusive names you'd substitute me for.

You have no sense of humour. You'd just have stayed as Ralph.

Nahh I work for Cisco just near Heathrow.

I should be able to go, might have to badger slowplay see if I can kip at his hovel.

Have you been there before? Are you going with someone from the republic? You're in for a treat if not... You should come on this instead.

Whatever floats your boat...


Might even have a spare room sorted by then too.

On second thought, I might just find a park bench to sleep on. I will probably get more intelligent conversation with the local hobo than at speedplays.

How about Alan's Cafe or the Food Stop as i now think it's called on the A442 (?) just south of Kidderminster as a start point? Had many a good ride start from there, good place to grab some grub from too...

T!ts!! I'll be on my way back from my hollibobs:(

[loonytoon]

food stop cafe is a good start point easy to head off in any direction from there an some good roads close by.
i will try an get along if i can get it off work i normally work saturdays.

All I'm bothered about is riding this road again :p

But I'll head anywhere to be honest.

[Specialone]

The A483 is by far my favourite road I've ridden so far, must of done it at least 15 times, doesn't mean I'm any quicker btw :)

[Mr Speirs]

Smeggin love that road. Only done it once though.

Lets do it again yay! Don't know whether I'll use the hyper or the gsxr yet. Probably the hyper as it'l be the first time I've done a ride with others on it and will make me push harder on it.

[G]

Pah the drama of having two bikes... which one to choose :rolleyes: do I sense a love for the IL4 :p

[Specialone]

I might be coming on my DRZ yet :) gotta keep mileage down for France, don't wanna have to put another set of tyres on before then.

Should get at least 6k out of a modern dual compound sports touring tyre Phil.

[G]

Especially the way he rides :D

Forgetting about that, he'll get 9k ;)

[Specialone]

Cheeky fecker !!
I let all you young uns do the fast riding, I chugg along happily.

Anyway...
Is that why I've only 4k out of my 020's :confused:

Col, I'd love to get 9k, that would be ace :)

[-Ralph-]

Is that why I've only 4k out of my 020's :confused:

No, that's cos you ride the rear brake ;) :lol:

Actually, joking apart, my tyres lasted longer than my rear brake disc and pads :smt103

Ha ha, unfortunately I have to go into work tomorrow.

The route looks really good, I'm just trying to get tyres, exhaust, fork springs and tail tidy all done before I go up to Scotch Land in a few weeks.

Timings are looking good at the moment.

I was going to knock one up next week, but it will probably involve Newtown etc...

[rusty76]

Alreet peeps, any more thoughts/discussion/bitchin on a route?

I'll add one to the bitchin category; I reckon Kidderminster is about an hour and a half from us to get to the starting point

....Not that I have any valid suggestions of an alternative

[Specialone]

What about this route (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=52.509006,+-2.386412&daddr=52.51257,-3.29902+to:Crossgates,+Llandrindod+Wells,+UK+to:Le ominster,+UK+to:Unknown+road&geocode=FU45IQMdFJbb_w%3BFTpHIQMdNKnN_ykB-98clPxvSDFQennMI4sNEw%3BFXWpHQMd1hLN_ykl3v4NAN1vSD GkjYLlgWN-VQ%3BFeToHAMd2DXW_ymtOQrMUiNwSDGH-Gyq33Q9hA%3BFTr3GwMdXK3e_w&hl=en&mra=mi&mrsp=4&sz=12&via=1&sll=52.197296,-2.242928&sspn=0.108375,0.362206&ie=UTF8&ll=52.368892,-2.861938&spn=0.431823,1.448822&t=h&z=10) for a start :) ?

well once we have a route and a set time, will sort out meeting places etc. come on binkey... i hope your not this slow next sat !! :D

[aliwakeskate]

That looks like a cracking route with some nice roads. Would love to come as I've not been out on a madlanders ride out before, but I'm off to watch the NW200 next weekend :D.

Will keep an eye out for the next ride out and wobble along.

[Binky]

I go past hopwood as well, I could meet y'all there too.

Mr Binky, is this still happening btw, you've gone quiet ;)

Right, lets get this show on the road. First off excuses, and it's a good one.

Sorry for not replying on here recently it's just that i have no handed in a years worth of work for 100% of my degree. **** yeah! Little bit hungover now though. :D

Right, so Wales it is then? Meet at Alan's Cafe near Kiddi for 09.45 onwards. Leave there at 10.30 and get cracking on that route to Newtown?

Am i leading this badboy or does someone else know what's what? I'd prefer not to lead it all if possible as A. I'm only certain on some of the route and B. I like making my way through the pack after drop offs... It get's lonely at the front...

[MisterTommyH]

Anyone got a postcode or link to google maps for Alans cafe?

what time at hopwood then?? i assume the start point is at the cafe in quatford??

[G]

Weather is looking amazing for this weekend :P

[Specialone]

Supposed to be a mini heatwave for 2 weeks from the end of this week.

Mike, it takes about 25 mins from hopwood, so whatever time Binky wants to meet we'll take off 30 mins for meeting at hopwood.

[ravingdavis]

Fitting new chain this Friday to the gixer so if that all goes well then I should definitely be there. This better be a good day for the distance I'm traveling to come play though!!!

[G]

120 miles isn't to bad...

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Skimped+Hill+Ln%2FA329&daddr=Worcester+Rd%2FA442&geocode=FcaKEAMdiHn0_w%3BFWA3HwMdrKjd_w&hl=en&mra=me&mrsp=1,0&sz=10&sll=52.38482,-2.003632&sspn=0.38557,1.095886&ie=UTF8&ll=51.793328,-1.647949&spn=0.781434,2.191772&z=9

:D... It will be 98 miles on the motorway to the start point for me if I come on this one, or 106 across the peak district if I go on the other one.

Both are more than worth it for the newtown/crossgates roads... it's like the perfect road.

(I hope it's clear and as good as I remember it lol)

[Mr Speirs]

Come to ours G!! Dont defect to the borders!!
You coming to Binkys on friday?

[christian1000]

Evening Chaps,

Only way to meet everybody, get on a rideout :)
We ride over your way every now and then so keep a look out for rides over there as well.
We were over by long itch diner last saturday just gone, we went out for about 4 hours.

I could be greenlaning and power kiting instead though..

Chap from work might be interested in this too.

[G]

Is the intention to head into stratford up fish hill to end the ride?

Come to ours G!! Dont defect to the borders!!
You coming to Binkys on friday?

I've not decided what to do yet, I just loathe doing 100 miles on the motorways a) on soft tyres, and b) because i always inevitably get bored which which always ends the same way lol... Plus I love the northwales roads/route.

Who's idea was it to have two rides on the same day lol :rolleyes::D

[Binky]

Alright kids. So whose still in on this? Was thinking that we can meet at Alan's Cafe/The Food Stop, then merge rides with the Border Patrol at Newtown? Means heading North into Wales though...

Something like this perhaps.

But at Cross Gates i guess those not wanting to do the longer route north can choose a different way home. Opinions...

[ravingdavis]

I think I will break at crossgates and follow Phils route idea, heading west and then north just adds too much distance away from home for me. It's going to be a 400 mile+ day as it is.

[rusty76]

Met office currently predict rain for Wales on Saturday :-(

[Specialone]

Is it worth having a plan B in case weather is crap west but better east?

The roads we done the other week around Melton mowbray were very good so just in case might be worth considering.

I'm not going to Wales if rain is likely, even though my tyres are supposed to be very good in the wet, I just don't like riding in it.

[G]

Metcheck is predicting rain for both saturday and sunday for everywhere :( so it doesn't matter where you go there will be no escaping it if it's right.

[Specialone]

BBC weather is saying cloudy with rain in Wales, brum is sunny spells.

[Binky]

Give it a day or two then decide? I don't mind heading over and around MM/MH...

[Specialone]

Some equally good roads there binkster, also means we ain't gotta mix with that BP lot ;)
Make a decision Friday night ?

[Binky]

Friday morning. As if we're going Wales i'll be going home to Sutton on the Friday afternoon...

[Specialone]

Cool with me :)

I'll go to either as long as it's dry.

[G]

If the weather is bad over there, and good over here, then I am definetely in.
