In and Around Nottingham???

[Binky]

Anyone in and around Nottingham (or not, depends how far you're willing to come?) fancy heading up to the Cat and Fiddle some warm atumn day???

It'll take quite a chill to put me off, but just wanted to gage how other people felt about a small ride during November or December???

I have been up that way recently and the roads are superb. Only made it to just past Ashbourne though and from what i gather the roads get even better the nearer the A537 you get.

Possible route:

The return leg can be shortened or a alightly different route taken if desired. I just wanted to assess the sort of interest for this at this time of year. Please feel free to post even just to say you can't make it.

P.S. No date has been decided upon yet as i wanted to go with the ajority to enable the most amount of people to come.

Weird you should say this. I actually have a gig in Buxton on Sunday but after 2pm I don't have to be back there til about 10pm.

Was thinking of going by bike so I could pop over to the Cat and Fiddle on ride some roads. I will be leaving Northampton at 8am getting to Buxton around 11am.

Not definate whether i will be going by bike or not but will keep you posted.

Is Birmingham around Nottingham?

Would be up for a spin, could meet up in the market square in Ashbourne. Let me know if you get anything planned, if Im around I'll come along.

Will do. Weather looks good for Saturday so presume it may carry onto the Sunday as well. If we don't go up this weekend and meet up with Spiers are there any days you can usually do or is it just weekends. It'd be great if some of us could head up on a weekday as there is much less police presence. But obviously a lot of people have jobs and lively hoods to uphold.

DMC there are quite a few who have expressed interest in this route from the Gixxer junkies site. Can you do either Saturday or Sunday??? Saturday obviously rules out Mr Spiers though, but i'll see what the majority want to do...

Should be able to do either day, but will need to know in advance mind. This is also weather dependant right, its pretty bleak at the C&F when the weathers sh!t.

Let us know what you get sorted Pat.

Thurs/Fri should be ok. Was just thinking something else might come up in the mean time that might not involve going out in the cold!

(btw. the radio this morning said it was going to snow over the w/e)

I could be interested if the weather was OK.

What you have to consider is the height up there, if its even slightly rainy/cloudy its usual snowing and freezing on the C&F

I passed through a couple of times in October, and once at the begginging of this month, twice it was sleeting and 0C and once it was fully snowing and 2C

The weather up there is a bugger.
