Anyone out this weekend 11th or 12th June?

[L3nny]

Providing it's not hammering down all weekend does anyone fancy a ride out this weekend somewhere?

Both Metcheck and BBC say Saturday should be dry

[Reeder]

Have a little travel and join the EAR rideout :D

Have I just been chatted up?? :eek:

I never look in the other area sections. I have found the thread but it's 11 pages long and I am lazy.

Where are you meeting and when?

[Reeder]

Bit of a trek for you from near coventry now I've finally looked at the route though :D Meeting this Sunday about 10am I believe. Looks like a full day for you if you could be bothered to ride that far!

[Specialone]

Lenny, I will be out if weathers ok, I'm desperate to get on a bike with so many here going past in the sun.
Helmets optional here ;)

[L3nny]

Where are you the Phil? Isle of Man?

Yer that's probably two hours to the start point but if you're not starting till 10 then it's do-able. If the weather is perfect and all the stars are in alignment I will think about it. Bit if the weather is miserable then the 2 hours there and the 2 hours back will be torture.

Will pop over the the EAR section on Saturday night and post if I can come.

It's a good two hours for me too. I'm coming from lowestoft right on the coast. I'm only going if it's dry too as my tyres aren't suitable for the wet weather and I'd end up going 3mph everywhere.

I might

I'll check the calendar

[Specialone]

Where are you the Phil? Isle of Man?

Nope, Crete :)

[Specialone]

I fancy Wales, haven't done that for a while.

[Old Git]

Wales Ooooooo!
Might be tempeted depending on precipitation levels.

[Specialone]

OG, I'm back Friday dinnertime so I'll take a look at weather then, doesn't seem to bad accordingly to forecasts.

[-Ralph-]

No chance for me, neck and shoulder still out of action, seeing the Physio on Monday.

[Old Git]

No probs, if weather is good am up for Wales for the day, shame you are just coming back from Hols or we could have taken the tents!

[Old Git]

No chance for me, neck and shoulder still out of action, seeing the Physio on Monday.
Maybe a trip with some vibrations could help? Physio only moves/twists the limbs don't they, whats the difference???:p

[-Ralph-]

The bike has actually helped me with back problems before, but just minor aches and pains caused by tension and stress. In this case it's the bike that caused the problem, and it's a strain injury, so I think I would be silly to go out at repeat the same strain that caused the damage.

I will do a short journey this weekend, just to see how I get on, but if it's painful after 2 miles, I'll be turning round and heading home again. It's painful just sitting still at the moment. Doctor reckons I've damaged some tendons as 2 1/2 weeks after doing the damage, I've still got one side of my back raised with swelling.

I've got the GM in two weeks time, and in August I'll be doing 10 days riding and probably the region of 2500 miles to do, half of that off-road where I may end up hauling the bike out of a ditch, or pushing it out of a river, etc. I need to give my back the time it needs to heal, or risk spoiling my holidays.

[L3nny]

OK it's nearly the weekend so we should start making plans. Who is coming? Which day is best Sat or Sun?

I am happy to go to Wales but don't really know any roads around there so someone else would have to plan the route and lead.

[Specialone]

Saturday looking best day looking at weather, bit overcast here ATM :(

I have a route in my satnav, I don't mind leading a bit as long as people don't get held up by me.
The 'good' road, peeps could overtake me if they so wished and wait at the end prior to crossgates cafe.

Not bothered tbh, but I'll ride to my pace on the day regardless :)

[L3nny]

That's cool Phil. My normal pace is similar to yours anyway it's only when I am trying to keep up with certain holigans I ride faster.

[Specialone]

Lol, Don't try keeping up with OG either ;) he's deceptively quick on the falco :)

[L3nny]

Haha ok. Where abouts does this route take us then Phil? Where shall we meet?

[-Ralph-]

OG? He's very quick. When you stop in a public place and need to get his attention, just shout "Oi! OLD GIT!" very loudly and his face changes quicker than you can blink! ;-) :lol:

[Old Git]

Oi!!!
I resemble that remark!

Sat. is the better day for me. As for a route, anything is good as long as it don't involve any off-road sections, i have heard some of the stories (Raving Davis in particular) where rideouts with Ralph & Spec.1 have included some interesting detours!!!!

He was exaggerating! We took him down a country lane that a farmer had left a bit of mud on. And maybe the surface was broken up with one or two pot holes for, oh, about 10 feet! ;)

[GixxerMatt]

ill come if its on the satureday just let me know were and when :D

[rusty76]

My missus is again having her hair done on saturday morning (what we save on mine she spends on hers), so probably only be able to leave here midday

Don't let that hinder your plans. I'll join if I can

And people keep asking me why don't I get married and have kids :rolleyes:

If Phil posts the route up when he gets back from his jollies then we can decide a meeting place and time later.

[rusty76]

She's cancelled her appointment

Let me know the plan

[Specialone]

Hi girls, once I've had something to eat, I'll post some details up.
Weather looking ok for tomorrow, we may get a light shower around early afternoon but I'm hopeful we won't.

Lenny and rusty bum hole, might be worth you meeting me at hopwood services or anyone else for that matter.

[L3nny]

once I've had something to eat,

This could take a while!

[Specialone]

Oi cheeky git, Ive had a dicky gut last couple of days so haven't got my moneys worth from the all inclusive ;)

Wifes just done me proper hot dogs and crinkle chips, my favourite :)

[rusty76]

Met office currently says it will be better east than west

[Specialone]

Met office currently says it will be better east than west

Well, the weather forecast I seen earlier on bbc said more or less the opposite, it also said cloud would build up in the east ?
I can't face doing them same roads over that way again so soon anyway tbh

[Old Git]

BBC forecast seems to be showing rain coming across from mid morning west to east, and has been raining here this afternoon on / off, only just stopped.
I am not convinced that it is going to be that good:mad:

[Specialone]

They also said heavy showers by me this afternoon and we haven't had a drop yet.
Well, I'm still game if everybody else is, we will just do the a483 as early as poss then cut short ride if weather does turn, whadda ya think?

[rusty76]

compromise on heading south from Hopwood?

I remember Colin leading a ride down there last year, good fun. I'll try to dig out the map

[rusty76]

Can't find the map but he'll be lurking somewhere....Col?

[Specialone]

The one i think you mean that col done was down to bourton-on-the-water?
Me and lenny only did that 3 weeks ago.

I really fancy wales, that road is ace :cool:

[L3nny]

Route looks good, do you know anywhere good to meet or go to for brekkie? Don't really want to take a second mortgage for service station food.

Maybe in Bromsgrove, that means I can ride the Henley to Reddich road which is much more fun than the M42 :D

[Specialone]

Lenny, I've put a stop for brekkie at quatford, first waypoint after kidderminster.

[L3nny]

Haha, I should have known

So who's meeting who where?

[Specialone]

Haha, I should have known

So who's meeting who where?

Lol in my defence it's a regular meeting place for bimbles over that way :cool:

I'll meet everyone at hopwood or in bromsgrove or wherever.

[L3nny]

Whatever is easiest, Hopwood probably easiest to be honest, I'll only get lost otherwise.

[Specialone]

I can meet you before if you want, but I'll probably do m42 tbh as it cuts out a lot of crap for me.

[-Ralph-]

Boo!

Up to you mate, just tell me the time and the place.

[-Ralph-]

Bolox to the lot of you. I'm officially jealous. I hope it rains all day. And you all get pulled for speeding. :smt019

;-)

[Specialone]

Shall we say 9.30-9.45 at hopwood ?
Then if OG wants to meet us at quatt for 10.15?

[L3nny]

Good for me, see you in the morning

[Specialone]

Rusty bum hole, are you gonna come out for the day for once ?:rolleyes:

[rusty76]

TBH mate I'm gonna be a weather *****. The forecast said it was gonna be dry here tonight and and yet it's been lashing it down on and off. I'll stick me head out the window tomorrow and make a call, then let you know

[rusty76]

I can't believe the stuff that gets censored on here

try again;

a weather prostitute

[L3nny]

Yer thought I better just say that if it's raining heavily I will also change my mind.

[Specialone]

Furry muff, I don't wanna go in rain either tbh, but I think it will only be light shower if we get any at all and that should be after dinner at the earliest.

[L3nny]

Yer light shower is fine, just thought I better warn you that if there is a man with a beard in a big wooden boat full of animals sailing down the street when I wake up i'll probably knock it on the head.

What you need then mate is an off road bike with reasonable road tyres :)

[Specialone]

Weather is looking pretty darn good ATM and BBC still maintain light scattered showers from dinnertime.
I'm still up for it if everyone else is, please post that your coming so we know who to expect at meet points.

OK, according to the route, looks like you are coming in round the bottom of Kiddy, as you come upto the Viaduct, there is a Homebase on your left, think its Old chester road south(?) will be waiting in the carpark there, just off the little roundabout before you go up & right at the Texaco/McD roundabout.
Timing should see you there for about 9.30 i guess, unless its Noah time, c u there :safe:

OK, having checked you aint leaving 'till 9.30/9.45 (pussy's) and your always late so I guess i'll have to hang around until about 10.00 then since it says 30mins from Hopwood to Kiddy, and your always slow as well!!!!

[Specialone]

I can't picture the homebase OG, you got a link to where you'll meet us ?

[Specialone]

You cheeky git, it takes about 20-25 mins to get to the cafe at quatt from hopwood so why don't you meet us there, or we could get some brekkie somewhere else ?

[Old Git]

If this works, you should recognise it, its on your route through kiddy, its on your left just before you go under the VIADUCT, you know that big brick bridge type thing in the pic.
O' and I already had brekkie 2 hours ago!!!

[L3nny]

Just woke up to glorious sunshine. See you at hopwood at 9.30

[Specialone]

Og, my bad, that route goes a different route to my normal way through kiddy hence not recognising your meet point.

OK, see you at the train station on the A448 in towards kiddy, before the roundabout, on your current route round the top.
Leaving shortly to run an favour en-route, so hope to see you there later.

[rusty76]

I'm still in bed.

Not gonna make this one. Have fun, see yous later

[GixxerMatt]

i wanted to come but had to drop the other half into work :'( if only you were meetign half a hour later :p

[-Ralph-]

They are all slow old men, and they need to stop really regularly to pee and stretch the aching limbs. Just ride the same route and within 1/2 hour you'll have caught up. ;)

[-Ralph-]

On a serious note, if you want to go, just go ride the route backwards and meet them at lunchtime. Or ride the route at a decent pace and without taking any stops, and you'll certainly catch them when they stop for lunch, if not before.

[Old Git]

Back, changed, coffee in hand:)
Thanks guys for a nice ride, enjoyed the route & at a decent pace.
Hope to see a few out & about next time.

[Specialone]

Ive just got back :)
Really enjoyed today, kept at decent pace even in the bit of rain we got, apart from the d1ckhead in the pug205 rally car thing that overtook me on a virtual blind corner at over a ton, it was brilliant :)

I was hoping he'd put it in a hedge, he was fecking dangerous.

[L3nny]

Back, had a great ride didn't even mind the rain but that was probably because i was the only one clever enough to put my waterproofs on. Although not clever enough to zip up my leathers underneath them! Was wondering why it suddenly went really cold. Fastest i have ever seen you move was when chasing that pug Phil!! Some great roads done today will be heading back there soon i expect.

[Specialone]

Chasing the pug? Other way round mate, he was trying to chase me.
I took him on the island then left him on the dual carriageway then backed off behind OG, I only done it to pi55 him off, he had his back wheel in the air on some corners, tw4t.

Anyway, they are excellent roads as promised that's why I go there a fair bit :)

[L3nny]

Whatever. Chasing was being done and you were involved

[Specialone]

Fair comment lol :)

Still an awesome ride today, really enjoyed it.

[Old Git]

Like I said before, Mmmmm Wales.
Shame I can't eat a whole one, but love it all the same:smt063

Can't agree more, thats why your supposed to let 'em GO!
No point racing to an accident with a car, even if the driver is a Tw-hat, only one winner on that one.

Likewise, had a bonza trip, will have to do it again & take a picnic next time.
L3nny, you did put on your waterproofs, but you were also the only one to have parts of your bike coming off as we ride along LOL.

Yep, you're dead right mate, I got a bit of mist :smt084
Next time we could go into élan valley and stop and have some lunch / or picnic by the river :)

Lenny, meant to tell you, when you touched your right knee down on that island, did you lose a chunk of your slider ? Seen something fly off !!

[Old Git]

Phil as noted earlier if you ever go down this way, I thought this route was quite entertaining:

[Specialone]

That looks pretty decent :cool:
Ive done some of the coastal bit before in my car i think, i think a mini camping trips in order at some point dont you think?

Sounds like a plan, I usually finish early on a Friday, could be home by 3pm & leave by 3.30pm, could blat down as far as Taunton on the Friday set-up camp and be in the pub by opening time no probs leaving Sat totally free for being an arze, then back to the pub Sat night, ride back Sunday.

If you are feeling really 'special' take a look at the 3 YHA's along the top near Minehead, one in the middle I think from memory looks v.good and is in a village, so pubs in walking distance.
These have proven very useful when i have gone to places like Borth, Lakes etc. and it pi$$es down, as it occassionally will do in this wonderful country of ours.

Nope don't think it was, this looked like a chunk not sparks, could've been something off the road I guess.
