I’ll be stuck at home for this one …. Mrs will be in America until 12th Oct
She deserves it ….
3 weeks away from me

Such a shame that I will be away in France for this one. Had a great time last year, plus it seem thatches year, there will be even more people whom I have and haven't met yet.

Fab news. It'll be great to catch up.

Only 2 weeks away.
The road ride is sorted , heading south through Leicestershire towards Northampton.
Leaving the Old Warf Café , Main Street, Hickling, LE143AH at 10 am.
Approximately 140 miles mostly lanes and B roads all tarmac surface.
Stopping half way at Millers Yard Café, Welford road, Chapel Brampton, NN68AB. this is at Boughton Mill Equestrian centre,
This is on the edge of the post code area so the W3W is GOLD.MOON.RETAIN
Then heading back through Rutland to Hickling.
As usual you are responsible for the rider behind you if you loose sight of them then please wait for them , it seems to have worked in the past, we will wait at every junction for folk to catch up if necessary.
Please make sure you have a full tank of fuel as garages are scarce on the small roads and we will be avoiding towns.

Sorry David et al, I’m going to have to miss this one.
Off down to Santander (via Zummazet) for the North of Spain rally.
Not back from that til 1st October. . . my life wouldn’t be worth living if I disappeared the following weekend!!!

 

[tuftywhite]

Thanks for letting us know Richard. I really can't see the draw of northern Spain over camping in Leicestershire, but each to his own!!

Have a great holiday.

Can't make the weekend, but Chapel Brampton is minutes away from me. Is the ride Sat AM? Busy 1000-1200 but can actually see the cafe from where I'll be!

 

[Mistacat]

We should be at the café around 12ish so join us for lunch.

 

[tuftywhite]

Off-road day has been amended. Much the same as before, but with a few new bits added on for fun and U-turn practice when we go the wrong way.

The road ride is Saturday Morning. Had a look through and could not see it stated.

 

[gspod]

Just to let you know

 

[tuftywhite]

Everyone ready for next weekend? I'm not!

I'm expecting some lurkers to turn up just for the day. Please sign up so that we have a rough idea of numbers turning up on the Saturday.

 

[F8GS]

I am ready, intention is camp and road ride now….DR is off the road for a bit of TLC, new chain, sprockets, starter solenoid and speedo cable.

Will do the road ride as don't fancy the lanes after all this wet stuff with the 60/40 tyres currently fitted to the 701

Hi Tufty
I’m a lurker:
80% chance of turning up for breakfast and first half of road ride, 20% chance of whole weekend a&b
Not much help, I know

 

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

Afternoon Comrades.
I hope you and yours are all.

I was hoping to join you for breakfast and the road ride on Saturday but prior commitments that I had totally forgotten about mean that won't be happening unfortunately.
Have a great time everyone and stay safe. Thanks to David for organising things.

Talking of Lurkers............choon!

More of a Dalglish than a Lurker I reckon......

Wrong shaped ball for me, I’m afraid, I’ve no idea what they’re talking about

Man on, square ball, turn and go Tell
