East Mids Autumn Weekend 4/5/6 October 2024

[MRDDD]

Hi tufty I’m up for the road ride Saturday

 

[Tetley]

Will be ready by Friday!

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

Come on Paul, you know we will get you out if you are stuck. The muddier the better.

[PMVern]

Please put me down for breakfast and the road ride, cheers Paul.

 

[GSite]

Thanks for organising Tufty, really enjoyed last year.
b for me and possibly c depending on the old back.

Just to confirm David, won't be camping, off to Scottish land Sunday, so just b for me.
Cheers

Dates subject to confirmation from the pub.

Don't need firm numbers, just turn up if you want to. It would be great if you could indicate your interest and if you intend to take part, even if you can't make it at the last minute. It will also give me rough numbers to give to the pub and the café.

Even better if you can stay or come back for the evening to chat through the day's events. We get quite a few attendees who turn up for the ride but don't stay for the social, which I think is missing the point. I live 10 mins away. Still camp both nights.

All welcome. Not just East Mids.
No dogs.

Saturday breakfast will be at café at the canal basin over the road.

Camping is at the rear of the pub, there is hard standing for a camper van or two, plus carpark. No overnight facilities once the pub has closed.

Camping is free as long as we eat at the pub Saturday evening.


Please post on here if you are attending and your options from the choices below.

I'm assuming the usual suspects will be leading the road and green lane rides. Please let me know if that's not the case.

Options:

a - camping
b - road ride
c - green lane ride

Hi Tufty

I'd like to join you and will arrive early Saturday morning for breakfast.

Road ride for me please. I'll bring my 390 Duke in the back of my van and sleep in the van.

A & B please

Look forward to seeing you all.

[Stevie4scoops]

I’m not coming then……

Hope you are! I'll buy you an icecream if you do!

 

[Tetley]

Please put me down for breakfast and the road ride, cheers Paul.

Be good to see you Paul

 

[The Other PaulG]

Change of plans, Mrs G now coming north with me, she's not mad about winter biking and definitely not soggy camping, so I'm afraid I'm out. Have a great time guys!

 

[Tetley]

So what time have we got a table booked for tomorrow night

 

[tuftywhite]

I believe we'll have the snug reserved for us again.

I'll be there from about 4.30 - 5.00.

Once we've mostly arrived we can look at food. It's Pizza Night at the pub on Fridays.

 

[tuftywhite]

By the way, I'll be doing a 'light weights' off road route, doing the easier lanes but road riding around the more fun ones.

If anyone is doubting their ability, they can nip in and out of the main bunch.

 

[Tetley]

Looking good, dry on Friday, sunny on Saturday.

Mudbath in the vale,
Try the pasture lane one first

Hope to see you all for breaky on Saturday

 

[Tetley]

Is that bastard lane? If it is I’ve got that down as the last lane…lol

 

[Eastmidsbiker]

Brilliant weather for the ride outs, hope everyone has a great time and posts some pics. Sorry I can't make this one, I'll be back for the next !

 

[Tetley]

Sorry you can’t make it Ryan.

 

[Paul S]

Well we look to have beaten the rush

Only the 2 of us so far

 

[gspod]

Won’t make it now Tufty

 

[mikeyboy]

Nice to see everyone for breakfast earlier,
Good turnout.
Breakfast was a bit too “artisan “ for me
Vine ripened tomatoes,free range egg ,sourdough bread ,speciality sausage ,blah blah.
I much prefer a truck stop special with a couple of deep fried richmonds
