Hi folks (happy new whatsit n hope you all have a healthy and interesting one) After working all Xmas and new year 7am start today- new years day!!) Am looking to get out for a medium day out (150-200 miles) Both tue and thurs, starting 10am ish near Darlington Returning no later than 3:30 (so can wash bike b4 work) Cakes n coffee on me!! North your moors or lakes ish? Open to offers if anybody out!!!
Sounds good, not likely to be working either day (although I never know for sure until the previous evening). I rode over the moors to Whitby and Pickering on xmas day (or windsufed over there as it felt more like!) but whatever, I've only lived up here a couple of years so you've probably got a better idea of where to head for than me.
Oh, and I'll be on the beemer, not the harley
Well at least the're both twins centurion! I'm on days again tomorrow (mon) so happy to sort out Times / weather check either mon night or tue morn, As I only have the multistrada, it's an easy choice for me! Have a few fav roads for sure, weather/ company/ traffic and time Dependant All wind their way cafe to cafe!
Cool, just don't include the Manor cafe at Bellerby in yer planning coz its closed for the winter.
Just counted the beemers cylinders again and its definatly still got 4, cue for BMW purists to mutter about it 'not being a proper BMW' while refilling their pipes & slipping into the carpet slippers their grandchildren bought them for xmas
Fair, I'll keep the day free, and fingers crossed! Actually is the better day on a selfish note. As working nights tue and wed, so thurs would not Require being back for work- just due to lack of feeling In extremities and dark!
Ok tue update!! It's a bit windy, I,,said...it's...a....bit....windy!! But hey ho, it can only improve (when the snow arrives) Still out for a (shorter) ride, Leaving darlo for n york moors, via coast!
Just washing bike, To be honest, not "fun" But good to be out, Dry/wet greasy patches, shade/sun, Coupled with wind gusting after buildings n Hgv's Nerves twitchy rather than heart.
almost warmed up now!!
after the ride out yesterday,
not sure if it could have been classed as a pleasure, but was nice to survive it!!
fingers crossed this (milder) spell is still here tomorrow!
though the forcast is a bit sketchy to say the least,
time will tell....
Ok off too work any min, (5pm till 9am) Latest forecast for morning is 5-6 deg c And rain or mist for Darlington to Penrith, Or across to Whitby, Will try to confirm in morning after work!!
I thought that was a compulsary requirement for being on here
No sighn of being wanted in work tomorrow so I'm good to go whenever, and pretty much wherever tomorrow
(have limited access to here when on duty) We've had weather warning for tonight And tomorrow, After freezing and being blown around Like a rag doll on tue, I'm tempted to either wait till mid afternoon To give day chance to dry out/ calm Down, or try for a later day?
well, I've just got in from a MAG meeting (fortunatly within easy walking distance) and its pretty wild out there.
Probably still wont be much fun in the morning but it gets dark so early an afternoon ride would't get us very far so it might be best to leave it for now, shame I know but I've had a couple of VERY windblown rides in the past 10 days so I know it aint that much fun out there at the moment
