Yorkshire Dales Proposal

[dizzyblonde]

There are many that travel miles and miles for these events. If folk wanna attend so much, mileage shouldn't be an issue, its all part of the adventure.
Even if this was elsewhere, I'd be travelling no matter what....but then I'm a nutter and don't seem to notice riding three hundred miles to a weekend of fun and back, I do that bit for fun anyways hehehehehe!!!

I'd have thought that was a mere toddle down the road for you Matt, especially this year after doing Scotland AND Europe!

I don't know why mileage should be an issue, every year the same issue arises, too far for some and hardly anything for others. At least the folks from bonnie Scotland can be repaid for helping with the organisation of the GMs year after year by letting someone else do the work. Yorkshire's bang in the middle of the UK so noone should be making excuses!

About 260 miles each way by motorway, probably nearer 300 miles by any reasonable route. Sounds like I'll need to book Friday off.

That's what we normally end up doing. Makes it a far more relaxed do

All I've got to do is book the time off work.

Oh yes, and then ask permission from the boss.
I'm of course I mean the Mrs.

I'm under no illusions, despite me wearing the trousers, I still have to 'agree' (beg) on stuff like taking a trip without her or the nipper.

I'd love for her to come along but I doubt she will ever willingly rough it in a tent.
Plus I'd have to get the seat recovered to help prevent numb bum.

Maybe I'll keep plugging away, you never know she might break.

135 miles for me up the very pretty M6.

Mileage not an issue

about 40 miles for me if I take the scenic route.

But I ask you. why Yorkshire? It is full of miserable grumpy old men, who don't realise they lost at everything.

Scrapping, footy, cricket. They all play second fiddle to the red rose.

why is the Lancs rose red and the york rose white?






Cos they're too tight to buy any colour for it.

Feck me 262 miles

5hrs A14 - A1

Are there any polar bears about, its that far North, I'm worried

Good job I bought Paiste's gel seats, although my **** is still going to ache after that long in the saddle

May book the Monday off, so I can ride home at my leisure

Its a huge 24 Miles from me

I put it to you good sir, that your sorry excuse for a county contains no decent highways worth traversing and no-one man (or woman) enough to put their heads above the parapet and propose a venue for an event as fine as the AR. I will therefore be demanding satisfaction on the neutral ground of Cheshire on the first weekend of December.
