Ok chaps and chapesses.
The forecast is: Very cold (-temps overnight) but getting up to 2-4*C by lunchtime, possibly damp with snow showers developing on the coast later in the afternoon.
As most of us will have been couped up for a few days I'm sure like me you still want to get out on the bike, so the ride will go ahead and all being well we should avoid the snow showers as we'll be heading inland just after lunch.
The Dalby Forest drive isn't a main road but should be gritted and has a very good surface. It is limited to 30/40mph anyway so shoould be alright. It does have a few very tight corners with awkward camber so some might rather not do it if the roads are at all slippy.
We'll take the ride easy and ride safely. For those not wanting to do the Dalby Forest road you can go straight on from Thorton-le-dale to Scarborough and meet us at South Bay in the Motorcycle parking zone near the fair. If you think this might be you please see me at Thirsk so I know what to expect.
So for those of you brave enough to ride tomorrow I look forward to seeing you at the various meeting places - for those too deciding to keep there slippers on I understand and look forwartd to seeing you on a summer ride-out.
For those meeting us in Thirsk we'll meet on the main car park where the toliets are as there are no wardens working in Thirsk tomorrow and it allows more space than the dedicated motorcycle area.
We'll be leaving Harewood at 9.00am prompt and Thirsk at 10.00am so don't be late and if you think you might be call me on my mobile (PM me for number).
Andy
Remember to wrap-up warm and ride carefully.
