Thanks for the picture Mike and the itinerary. Great to see everyone this morning and looking forward to the next meet

)
I'll get my thinking cap on for a suitable route and let you know

What do you reckon folks? Forecast is clear but only 3 degrees!! Tea and toast again??

01-02-2018, 03:59 AM

......3degrees, hmmmm.......if it's dry and no salt I am going for two wheels ....on the front and two on the back!

, only joking, I am itching to get out so review forcast Saturday, we had the lot at the airport yesterday including snow.

buzzbomb · 01-02-2018, 05:22 AM

Four wheels for me so 9-45am from my place, see you...

ChrisC2925 · 01-02-2018, 12:55 PM

3 degrees but feels like 0 on my local forecast at the moment, so will keep an eye on it. Failing 2 wheels I'll run over to you Geoff if there's room in the car!

01-02-2018, 02:44 PM

Wish I could have made it. I've just blown all the cobwebs of my monster, hoping to get it MOT'd in the next few months

You will be most welcome, now added to my stalking.....sorry PM list, we have a few rides planned for this year, hopefully something for everyone. See you soon

Pezz · 01-02-2018, 09:22 PM

Was gonna send this via PM responding to yours but you are full....

Yes I'll be there Sunday but there is no way you will get me on a bike until there is a little bit more warmth. Hats off to ya if it happens for you - I am itching to get going though Ive only rode my new one once and that was only 20 miles.

I'll be meeting the crew at Geoff's and coming over with them

02-02-2018, 04:27 AM

Nice one, look forward to a catch up......you have highlighted something here......there was a thread late last year about saving sent PM messages, I adjusted my settings just so I could remind myself of who I had sent to. Now I have 24 in my inbox and 6 in my sent items ...= 30= Full ! .........

03-02-2018, 05:28 PM

Hi all, yes I've decided that the bike's staying wrapped up as it's still raining here.
Be good to catch up and see you in the morning.

Andygbiking · 03-02-2018, 06:42 PM

Hi all still struggling to get time off at the moment looking at my work calendar I’m only off the 1st Sunday of any month twice this year hoping to get over for a ride with you again soon
