New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
Ok so I don't derail LP's thread for attendance and route ...
If anyone wants to meet up to ride down to the meeting place (M6 J19) then give me a shout. My intention is to get to the meeting point by the quickest possible route (and save the twisties for the planned route), so I'll be heading down the M53, M56, M6. To get to the meeting point by 10am, I shall be leaving Wallasey at about 09:15am ... Chester Services seems a popular meeting point, and is en route for me ;-) |

How do i get to chester services :D

Re: Newbies rideout meetup/general chit-chat
M53 to M56, turn left onto M56 (signed Manchester) about 5 minutes down there. In fact it is the next junction.

Can't say I hold with riding bikes on motorways (:-dd), so I will go across via A54 from Chester. If anyone fancies that route rather than a bash down the motorway, meet at the point where the A54 crosses A55 (i.e straight down the M53 / A55 for the Wirral boys and girls)
EDIT: The A556 is full of roadworks, I just been told. |

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
Mike, do we have a tail end charlie in place yet ? I would quite like to have a go at that if no one has yet volunteered, maybe share it with someone else so I can help out on the the bigger rideouts in future ? :D

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
Thanks for the offer Stewie, that is great. No TEC yet, but we can sort that on the day, so everyone knows who is who. Leader / TEC need to be pointed out to all.

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat

Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
my thermals are washed and ready :D
|
Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
lol chilly is an understatement with -4 or lower predicted at 6am, that's v cold on an M-way, I'm torn between my ride to work gear with jeans and a fleece underneath for the warmth or leathers and thin thermals ...... mmmm so many choices.
Thanks for the offer Stewie, I'll either meet you at Lymm Services but if I'm not there assume I am on my way to knutsford services, it all depends on what time I haul my sorry backside out of bed :-) |
Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
Is everyone ready for the mornin then ? Ive been out and filled up the bike and getting me gear together now, lookin forward to it, see you all in the mornin :D
|
Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat
I went out today on bike and it was sunny but freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gonna be the same tomor so don`t forget your thermals or if you don`t have any i`ve been reliably informed a pair of ladies tights will suffice. I expect to see lots of men in womens tights tomor :D

Although the idea is appealing in some strange way I think that tights are best suited to slender shaved womens legs rather than my hairy trees, ooooooo bad mental image for all there :pale: Anyway: Camera charged - Check, Tyres - Check, Fuel - check, GPS charged - Check, phone numbers - check. Pre flight ride to manchester to see how cold it is in my leathers - Check, Checking any bits haven't fallen off in the cold - check! Well guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. :-) See you tomorrow |
Re: New and Returning riders rideout meet up/general chit-chat

Bike wont turn over this morning, cold has done for my battery which has been on its way out anyway. Got it on Optimate at the mo to try and get it in a state where it'll fire so will hopefully catch up with youse somewhere between Knutsford & Macc. If not, have a good ride.
