This is subject to the weather as usual.....but does anyone fancy a ride out somewhere on Saturday 22nd of this month (Yes, I know it isn't like me - I'm giving you a fair amount of notice for a change!)





I'll have a think about somewhere to go.....maybe Wales for a change :eek:
If anyone fancies it who isn't working....out of the country....or babysitting then let me know and I'll sort something :D

Could be tempted. I've booked the weekend off work but I could be on STRIKE anyway.



We've officially given the Company the obligatory seven days notice and we're on strike as from 06:00hrs next Wednesday............... :eek: :eek: :eek:

Not come up with a destination or route as yet but......


......can we meet either at my house (I'll be leaving at 10:30) or at Ducati Manchester at 11:00?


What do we think about going to the seaside for possibly the last ice-cream of the season? I'm thinking North Wales, so possibly Rhyl or Angelsey.

Just because your name's on the list it doesn't mean you're committed....... although there's probably more than 1 person on there who should be! :eek:

Steady on flossy, I'm no kill joy but just getting into Wales is less than half way..............

..........Clai me owd lad your gonna 'ave to come toward us a little bit at least.


Seriously though, Manchester/Anglesey/Manchester gonna take up a lot o' daylight hours at this time of year. :confused:

Tigerlily
18-10-2005, 10:54 PM
Your better with time and distance than I am Stevie.... Do you think Rhyl would be better? :confused:

OK..... OK...... Angelsey is a bit over ambitious for this time of year.... (Sorry but the offer of the homemade flapjacks sent me a bit silly)




Is Rhyl OK with everyone?..... We can still go to Angelsey sometime (when the days are longer and warmer!)

Your welcome to come out with us another time, keep your eyes open for other events :D

hi Tigerlily knowin me a long time i have to do the work in me kitchen :eek: . Prob will need to ask lots of questions on how to put it back together :lol:> I will keep an eye open and hope to catch up with you all soon.

w108rna
20-10-2005, 05:24 PM
Rhyl is good with me, just put my bike back together this afternoon! Just hope the man upstairs does his bit on the weather front!

If you lot are meeting at Ducati Manchester, i will probably wait for you at the Shell Service Station on the M56 (junc 14) at Helsby, thats easy for me to join you all. What time to you recon on leaving Duc M'ster?

Here's hoping for great weather!

Ta ta, Mark

Tigerlily
20-10-2005, 08:12 PM
If we can all get to Duc Manchester for 11 (sharp!...... Yes I know that's a bit rich coming from me but I'm going to make a special effort! :p ) Then hopefully we can leave at 11.15


Bearing in mind the lack of daylight hours I think it's best if we get on the M56 and stay on that until we get to Chester, then we could take the coast road (A548) to Rhyl.....or......we could go through Mold, Ruthin and Denbigh,then up to Rhyl. It's a longer way round but probably nicer roads.


Which route do you prefer people?


I'm thinking that we're gonna get to Rhyl at something like half 1...... possibly :confused:

Little Monster
20-10-2005, 09:15 PM
metcheck this morning was looking very rosey

now, it's looking uber pants - particularly in Rhyl

Might be one of those 'look out the window on saturday morning' jobbies.

LM

ps - If I don't catch you before then TL, I'll text you sat a.m. but i'll be meeting you guys at Duc Manc as it's nearer me, on the way etc.

claicerrig
21-10-2005, 06:18 AM
A & D Bikes is in Denbigh but beware of police camera vans on that route :eek:

Check Arrive Alive for north wales they give details of where they are suposed to be over the weekend Also the Daily Post

Are we meeting in Woods Ducati In Abergeley? Or where abouts in Rhyl :confused:

See you all tomorrow....... :bunny: :bunny:

I wont be back on line now untill Saturday morning to check unless you want to bell me TigerL

21-10-2005, 07:36 PM

The weather gets worse the further west you get, from Horwich anyway. In fact it gets worse if you go anywhere. I'll have a ride round the block me thinks and hope the weather picks up for next SUNDAY if anybody fancies it!! :confused:
