Let me check the diary, and hall pass folder

That's very kind.
Yes please. I can do any date once my ankle's sorted. Op. is on 25th Sept, insha'Allah.

Sounds good, are you planning for this to be an on or off road ride ?

 

[Blacknbluex2]

As per title It’s mostly legal byways so green lanes / off road (mostly)
Please don’t turn up on your fancy 1250Gsa unless you’re Lyndon Poskitt or similar riding god like person.
There will be a mixture of lanes, grass, hard dirt which can/ will be slippery if wet so suitable bikes with off road type tyres should be fine .
Airhead specials like Colin’s, Tufty’s etc all good. It’s all doable on a suitable bike.

Would have to be November for me.

November for me
Thanks for the generous never ever done any lanes in that part.

 

[Blacknbluex2]

Don’t be nervous guys the lanes are mostly ok … couple that are a bit gnarly but no worse than the one were I led for 10 minutes up that grassy hilly bit yesterday
So long as 2 or 3 turn up I can lead this multiple times to suit everyone ( hopefully)
So far 2 for Oct.
Paul S … you’ll be fine on your 701 as it is if it’s dry ish
I just don’t want people turning up on road tyres and riding lanes on wet grass as it does get slippery.
Get some dates sorted lads

 

[F8GS]

I’ll be up for it. Beginning of Nov would be better for me also.

Having regretfully departed the E Midlands section in Jan I’ d welcome the opportunity to renew acquaintance with some of the old dogs on here - No offence gentlemen!

Would like to come since I missed the last one. November would work for me, maybe October too.

 

[Blacknbluex2]

Unfortunately, I'm at a wedding in Norfolk. Otherwise I would have been there.

Suitable for a pretty much complete novice on a Himalayan ?

I’m interested if so, but will need to check dates

Cheers,

The op. was yesterday not the 25th as above, apologies for the typo. It ended up being bigger than the surgeon expected which means I'm unlikely to even sit on a bike for 6 weeks so I'll have to play this one by ear a little bit but I would love to do something like this whenever I'm fit enough to do so please.

Bugger! Way too big.

 

[astrro]
