Alternative 'Northern Monkeys' June Meet 2017

[David.]

I have to miss out on this one as well, but looking forward to the Tewksbury meet.

No worries Dave, good to meet you in May, see you in Tewkesbury.

Perhaps the way forward is to agree a start time at Wetherby, see who turns up & what time they would like to be home.
This may determine which routes are ridden, there's certainly plenty of choices.

Agreed although it would be an advantage to know in advance those who may wish to take part. Would allow for better route planning to accommodate all interested parties and everyone attending would know what to expect.

Weather permitting, I'll be there, what time start (depart from Wetherby) were you thinking of.

If it transpires that we're attempting the longer ride, then I think we should be away from Wetherby by 1030, a little later possibly for one of the shorter rides. We can finalise with a week to go when hopefully all wishing to participate have indicated their interest. Hope this is acceptable.

Another way of looking at it is, where are folks travelling from to get to Wetherby & how long will it take them to get there, plus a comfort break at Morrisons.

Last time out, one interested member who unfortunately didn't make it, was 2 hours from the start location.

A 10:30 departure from Wetherby is fine with me.

Understood, that's why we can make a considered decision when we know who is intending to participate and could possibly choose the next meeting at a location more to their advantage.

Spot on, if folks declare an interest, a mutually convenient start location can be agreed.

[scunny1]

I declare an interest, just over 60 miles to start point for me.

Spot on, exactly the same as me. Do you have an opinion or preference on the route? All comments welcome.

[David.]

I might have to try the BMW recommended fuel additive.

One route takes me 12 miles from home then zooms 50 miles in the opposite direction :))

Similar thing happened to me last week by about 20 miles but had a really good day.
If we do that route, we could probably go in the direction that passes close to you on the return leg to give you options.

[David.]

One route takes me 12 miles from home.

To help with the decision making & planning, which option/route goes nearest to your home.

[David.]

There is a petrol station at Morrisons in Wetherby.

The coordinates are N53.931926 W1.383247.

Here's the BBC 10 day forecast for Wetherby, https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2634217, looks like it's cooling down a bit but staying dry.
