View Full Version : sunday meet/ride
everybody still up for it then now the snow is here.
We'll still be at Bassetts Pole in the morning, ready for the ride to Matlock Bath. Hopefully will have a few members of our Bike club with us, including a girl on a brand new Daytona 675.

If your comin north of Matlock I've seen a few bad ice patches still in the shadows around the Peak District.
HTH
what time everyone getting into Matlock BATH ? NOT MATLOCK no bikes in Matlock.[/b]
We'll be getting to Matlock Bath around 12.30 to 1.
hopefully meet you down there, will be on a red/white/black zx9r as in picture gallery on a "w" plate with george cross on.
We'll be on a blue SV with purple wheels.
We might possibly go on to Matlock after Matlock Bath, for something to eat at the bike shop.
Will probably tag along for a while if ok.
Of course, 22, you are more than welcome :D
The bike shop at Matlock may not be open, the last time I went the cafe was open but not the bike bit due to having no bikes. Will ride past on way & have a look.

What's the weather, road conditions like out your way 22?
roads are wet due to having enough sand/grit on them to fill a dessert, otherwise sunny, clear but sprinkling of snow off roads, much the same as yesterday.

Well my road is still slippery underfoot, whereas yesterday all the roads around here were dry and salt free.
Sun's out, but even then the white stuff ain't shifting.
Don't mind the cold, but ice is something you can't deal with.
Thinking I'm gonna postpone until next weekend.
Sorry
Pete
no problem, not worth the risk, better days to come.

I'll be there. Scenery will be grand and the A6 will be well gritted. Won't stray off main road and will take it very steady. I'll look for the blue SV with purple wheels. Will you be on the main strip? There's a good caff at the south end.
Edit - just realised that two people will be on the same bike. Does that mean no-one is going other than me and Saint Matt? I don't need to have a meet with him as he happens to be my son !!
Cheers Keith

Cheers Keith

Nah..................I needed a pee and there was a handy ditch there :D
What I didn't realise though, was that the ditch had a MUCH lower bank road-side than hedge-side. All the drivers going past had a LOVELY view of my **** :oops:
