Ride out Saturday 22nd or Sunday 23rd

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Yes, it is short notice

No, I couldn't have posted this earlier as to not knowing the weather yet

Anyway, I have not been given my "welcome to the flat-lands" rideout, so, who is up for a jaunt around Norfolk, preferably over my way as I don't wanna get lost trying to find the meeting point... Also, you guys (and gals) might be able to show me some nice roads over this way

[svrich]

Can't ride yet but if you meet up anywhere near then I could drop in for a brew before you head out.

Sorry no can do this weekend, got the kids!! My baby is 6 today, makes me feel 106!!

With 25/12 looming (cant bring myself to say the c-word) theres no spare ££s for fuel anyway :-(

[maviczap]

[NTECUK]

And the next week its going to rain :(

[Skip]

Sorry I am working this Saturday and out with the family on Sunday.

[Gordon72]

Sorry , will be in kent this weekend.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

This is just like being in the South & West Surfers area, no-one is ever free, ha ha

[Rob969]

Sorry got too much on this weekend, plus my wife could be going into labour at any point in the next few weeks so i'm having to stay fairly local

[davatron]

Im up for it, I moved to the area couple of months ago. But I have to warn you Im fresh rider so I wont be quick... let me know if youre still up for it... I easy so not bothered which day it is.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

It might be a ride with me & someone from another forum, but, all are welcome

I only moved to the area 3 weeks ago! So, you'll have better local knowledge then me, but, I did pass my test 18 months ago & have done over 18k miles since then...

[davatron]

the more the better... I racked up around 3k since april, looking forward to it...

might be interested,but what time and where from and which day,and i hope you have more luck then the last ride out from redlodge when i was the only one to turn up

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Don't know, don't know, don't know & I hope so, ha ha

[NTECUK]

Don't know, don't know, don't know & I hope so, ha ha

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Yeah well, as I alluded to before, I have lived in this area for three weeks & as you can guess by the name I come from over 300 miles away from this area, so, might need a bit of help on locations and the like

[NTECUK]

There is a quite handy apple app that can help you .its a bit quirky but called "Greatest Road".
It,s handy to give you some idears.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

That'd be great, but, I am not a sheep (I only like eating them for food before you ask) I have a blackberry, so, no good telling me about that app

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

How about Sunday then? People who can make it OK with Sunday?

Anyone know somewhere good to meet?

[NTECUK]

Know what you mean . You could Google maps it.drag the route about .android let's you save it on the pc then your phone can acsese it.might be a plan but for the moment best to follow .
I'm sure someone who knows a route will step up to the plate.

[davatron]

hey all, Ive just been notified that i am supposed to have lunch with girlfr parents at 2 pm on sunday, it is not set it stone so I might be able to ask them to postpone it for evening. So anyway I would prefer it tomorrow but if not possible then I will try to join you on sunday. I got android phone so I will check some roads app and post about it

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Anyone got an idea on a meeting place or a route then?

[davatron]

some roads there, what time are you looking to meet. I cant avoid the lunch with the in laws at 2 but if you are meeting in the morning im up for coming...

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

My phone is being crap! I can't see any of those routes! But, I was thinking maybe a meet up at 09:45 somewhere, gives us a good three hours to hoon around before you got to go back to dinner with the "in laws"

[maviczap]

Think we need a pre Christmas Fish & Chip rideout to Southwold pier

Sometime in December

Only committed cold weather riders need attend.

So thats me, Skip (bit too far for the DRZ) & SVRich on his mobility scooter.

Have a think about it, I'll post a thread up sometime soon

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

I'll be there then, rode Leana all through last winter. Even tried to on snow...

[davatron]

sounds good. where are you based? Ill try to find the route and the meeting place that is somewhere in the middle.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Hemsby at the moment

[davatron]

Ok so there's the plan. We meet at

The Millwright Arms‎
67 Shipdham Road
Dereham, Norfolk NR19 1JW
01362 693 416

at 10 am (obviously there should be some leeway on time as none of us know the roads)

from there on we can take the so called Norfolk Dash route
http://www.bestbikingroads.com/motorcycle-roads/motorbike-rides-in-united-kingdom-/east-anglia--/norfolk-dash-_7aa369.html

we can always cut it bit short if running out of time. In case you cant see the map these are the places we would ride through: East Dereham, Watton, Thetford, Fornham St Genevieve, Mildenhall, Brandon, Swaffham, Fakenham, East Dereham.

there are alternative routes as well, such as:
http://www.bestbikingroads.com/motorcycle-roads/motorbike-rides-in-united-kingdom-/east-anglia--/breckland-bimble-_7163a4.html

which goes through: East Dereham, Watton, Thetford, Swaffham, East Dereham.

Ill try to squeeze a last bit of toner out of my printer to print the map.

Does that sound good?

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Sounds fine by me

Count me in for this Dicky, even though Southwold is a thousand miles away!! The heated grips work well and if I was to put the muffs back on then ill be ultra-toasty :p

[Reeder]

Seems like the EAR get a kick from riding in the cold!

[kellyjo]

A girls gotta get her kicks somehow!!! ;-)

[davatron]

Sounds fine by me
