Weekend meets

Ok, I know we havent had the first one yet but I want this to be the best attended section on the ORG. this year and if we can get regular meets going I reckon we could probably attract a load more lurkers to our midst, so, where and when do we have out next meet ? should we go for weekly fortnightly or monthly or more loose, as in the forecast is going to be nice this weekend where should we go ? Also should we have some diferent meeting places than we do for the weds meets ? Discuss

I'd be a fan of the 'where shall we go this weekend' type of organisation on here, with a regular meet in the week.

We can strike out to the Dales / Lakes from a meet around Warrington / Liverpool. The Peaks are available from Stoke area meet. North Wales from Pondy / B-y-C. Mid Wales from Shrewsbury / Chirk.....

So we can meet up, go for a bimble, lunch / ice cream / chin wag, bimble home. I'm thinking of short (-ish) social rides to a place of interest (pub /cafe?) with time for a chat. There seem to be plenty of longer rides planned to, (MM2, Barmouth, NWx etc) so those wanting a 'proper ride' will also be catered for.

What do folks think?

I am working on plans that will see me possibly working a lot more hours than I do now, so I don't want to commit to saying yes when it may be a no. Can't tell you what I'm up to on here, but, hopefully should sort my life out

Yep my thoughts too, we are in poss one of the best areas going for variety of terrain, roads etc. thing is, its up to us, I wont be able to make all the planned runs, thats life and shift work as well and Im kinda hoping the weather will help us out this year as well.
