If anyone’s interested, there’s an Italian food and bike festival in Bridgnorth, Shropshire on Sunday........think I’m heading for that

Nice one Steve,
Anyone else up for this...

Pezz · 01-09-2018, 09:52 PM

I'm back home from Spain and up for a blast - need to be back in Liverpool around 2.00 though so dependant on where the chosen route ends up taking us I might need to do an early bail somewhere en route.

Geoff - meet at yours for 9.30?

ChrisC2925 · 02-09-2018, 04:53 PM

Good run out again today, thanks Geoff, Pezz, Aide, Andy & Annabel

Shame you had to break off at the end Pezz, you missed a superb bacon barm! - thank your lady again Aide.

Next Sunday at J&S for breakfast for anybody free,

Another good ride in the Cheshire/Shropshire country side, nice to see you all and look forward to hopefully a decent weather wise day at oulton park for the BSB practice and qualifying.

Morning all, apologies for very late reminder on this, spent most of yesterday travelling , woke up with the obligatory sore throat form aircraft air conditioning so obviously the cure is a breakfast at j&s.. Anyone else up for joining myself and Chris ?...

Just a reminder it's the Oulton park BSB weekend, weather looks best on Saturday. Current plan is to get there mid morning.....warm ups start 09:00.

I will what's app and PM to make sure I capture everyone, should be a good day...ie dry!👍

Well we managed to miss most of the rain on Saturday although not all of it and a good day was had, I hadn't appreciated what a good venue Oulton Park is, well impressed by the view from knickerbrook area, see below.

Not all good news I am afraid, Chris had an "off" whilst leaving the venue,coming off worse with a coming together with parking area delineation rope. Damage to bike and Chris minor but as usual not cheap. Hope all gets back to normal soon mate.

On that sad note a couple of photos to remind you of the good bits, October meet at the Lockgate is Sunday 7th. see you there.

Hi Folks,

Just a thank you for the turn out today, lockgate was followed by a ride to ellesmere and beyond, past the ponderossa through Ruthin and home. A cold start...think the ride outs may be numbered now but a good effort !

The assembled crew and Laura wishing Geoff a speedy recovery.....apologies for the quality of photo...cant get the staff !

A Cold Day at the lockgate......sorry Pete...you need to park next to us to get your bike in the photo !!

A location somewhere on route.....

next monthly is november 4th........ I have a cunning plan, more when I get confirmation.

Morning folks, so next months regular meet will be a bit different, I thought with Autumn upon us and the weather changing for the worse we could do something indoors.

Phil Morris is well known in racing circles,especially in Wales ,check out his website "philmorrisracing", he also runs the road racing legends charity. He has an enviable bike collection that is well worth a gander.

So, with a big thanks to Pete who will be our guide, Sunday 4th November we get the chance to take a guided tour, meeting place is Whittington castle car park at 10:30.

To put Whittington on the map, we pass through it when we do the Ellesmere run from the lockgate. We can meet at the lockgate for 10.0 but as Laura only opens at ten coffee won't be an option! A swift ride to Whittington and job done, alternative is to go straight there and call at the lockgate after the visit.

Due to time of year cars may be the option on the day, I will keep in touch as we get nearer the day.

ChrisC2925 · 13-10-2018, 08:56 AM

Off for the 10 days before so should be an interesting day out before getting back to the pre Christmas mayhem at work!!

13-10-2018, 09:03 AM

You mentioned the "C" word !!!!!............ Talking of which I need dates off folk for the get together.....we did a Friday night last year so have people a preference ...Friday 7th or Friday 14th ?....

ChrisC2925 · 13-10-2018, 04:03 PM

Works do on the 15th so I'd go for the 7th if poss

13-10-2018, 06:26 PM

Thanks for the response Chris.....how about the 21st ?....

buzzbomb · 13-10-2018, 06:57 PM

Hopefully I'll be able to walk by then so the longer it is from present will be fine by me...
