Bollocks, I was just about to tog up and go for a ride!
We used to have a regular meet that started out near Alsager, moved briefly to a pub east of Knutsford and then finally to a pub called the Windmill right next to J19 of the M6 . The meet grew in popularity and in the summer months we had 30+ bikes there . In the winter months I was sometimes sat there with just 1 or 2 , usually Mark . That was 9 years ago prior to my daughters birth and there must be a lot more members now.
The secret to its success I think was firstly its location. Bods from Warrington , Liverpool , Manchester , Lancashire, Cheshire and Stoke on Trent area could quite easily get there after work . Secondly , we held it without fail on the something like the first Tuesday of every month . Everybody knew it was on and could , at the last minute , just decide to come without checking in here first . I would always post a couple of reminders but many attendees would just turn up . In other words even if only one or two had actually responded on here there could & would be many actually there on the night.
Consistency was they key and the meet did grow . Good luck

Food was good as well
Well we had a good meet at the Goshawk in Delemere ... even Flipfly came in a Mercedes... he was a good laugh.
Unfortunately I’ve had a few family problems to sort and little time to arrange or plan
Anyway let’s see if we get some interest
Anyone fancy a Sunday morning ride .... this is one of my favourite routes ... and Lake brenig serves a great breakfast
Sorry, I can't make the weekends with other commitments
With the summer coming we could have an evening ride ?
Yes up for those
