Geoff, now that sounds like a plan, Ellesmere again?

ChrisC2925 · 02-07-2018, 12:39 PM

Looks like you had a cracking day out, I was thinking about you as I watched all the bikes going down the A59 from the pub window having lunch before our friends left!

02-07-2018, 04:01 PM

what a coincidence Chris , I was thinking of beer as I was melting inside my jacket whilst riding !

15-07-2018, 03:18 PM

Steve did us proud once again with his encyclopedic knowledge of ..........North Wales, a minor detour to show us the pine forests was appreciated, cracking ride out and great company as usual, hope everyone got back home safe.

Next panned jaunt will be from the Lockgate ......watch this space for any unplanned ones !!!

ChrisC2925 · 15-07-2018, 03:35 PM

A great day out, thanks for your company Mike & Pezz and Steve for the mystery tour! Back home at 15:00, 243 mile round trip and just about enough fuel left to get to Costco to fill up later this week.

Nice one chaps, I promised a diverse range of roads, and somewhat unexpectedly, the range was very broad
Couldn’t believe how quiet some of those roads were for a Sunday, even the pine forest Paris-Dakar stretch was eery......curse that road closure mid way
Getting the itch for some evening jaunts that way soon
Good to see you all

Pezz · 15-07-2018, 10:33 PM

another great day out chaps - not sure about the green laning experience though...

LouSCannon · 16-07-2018, 03:56 PM

Great to see you guys still getting out! I'm well in to the mid season for walking and running events although I am about to get the M900 rebuild MOT'd now the wheels are finished. Still lurking and if I ever get the chance will try and join you again either on the Monster or Scrambler.

16-07-2018, 04:09 PM

Jim, how you doing? so the rebuild is finished, that will be good to see mate. It would be good to see you again, next meet at the Lockgate Sunday 5th August.

As you can see we are having quite a year ,weather is helping a lot but we are certainly getting the miles in, hope to see you again soon.

LouSCannon · 18-07-2018, 12:06 PM

I'll be in Lake District on that one ha! As I say, from June until late September I rarely have a gap, but as I say, I'm still here lurking, and will get the M900 out soon!

Looks like it's the 7th October then Jim, forecast to be the start of our Indian Summer so no excuses with the weather!

LouSCannon · 24-07-2018, 09:00 AM

I actually have that Sunday free (The one after is booked)! I've pencilled it in the diary so no excuses!

ChrisC2925 · 24-07-2018, 07:53 PM

Sounds good!

01-08-2018, 08:10 PM

So folks first Sunday of the month has come around yet again, about time we went back to our corner at the lockgate!

Shall we meet there at around 10.30 on Sunday morning followed by the trip to Cosford......hope to see you all again then, weather is going to be good again by then

Just to refresh the memory RAF Cosford that has some great static displays, my fave being the Cold War display......looking forward to it . See you Sunday

When you get there take a good look at the bloodhound missile, I worked on them for 12 years. When that thing was launched it would hit mach 1 while still within the length of the launcher, not bad for something weighing in at 4.5 tonne.
