August is another busy month for the Northern Monkeys.
Two off, three day trips are planned, one to The Lakes (6th to 8th) https://1200rt.com/viewtopic.php?t=4 & one to Dumfries (24th to 26th), https://1200rt.com/viewtopic.php?t=2
If you would like to join either or both of these trips, you would be more than welcome.
If anyone is looking for a day ride out from Wetherby, Saturday 19th would suit me the best, I'm not available any other Saturday in August.
This obviously does not exclude a.n.other organising a day ride out in August, (it doesn't have to start & finish at Wetherby).

Re: August 2017 - Northern Monkeys Meet(s)
Unfortunately August is pretty much a wipe-out for me due to holidays and other pre-existing commitments. So I don't expect to be able to it whatever the date. The summer seems to be rushing by

Re: August 2017 - Northern Monkeys Meet(s)
Likewise but since the commitments are mainly bike related with a little bit of wobbly box, then I'm not complaining. Was thinking of doing something in September but rather than clutter this thread, I'll start another.Paggers wrote: Unfortunately August is pretty much a wipe-out for me due to holidays and other pre-existing commitments.

Is anyone interested/available for a ride out from Wetherby on Saturday 19th August.David. wrote:If anyone is looking for a day ride out from Wetherby, Saturday 19th would suit me the best.
Got an idea for a route through some of the Howardian Hills & North York Moors, around 120 miles in a BaseCamp riding time of 3.5 hours.
Plus, plenty of P&T stops at Easingwold, Rosedale Abbey & Hovingham.
The ride would finish at Thirsk Market Place just off the A19, Thirsk is 30 minutes from Wetherby.
Basecamp route available by email if required.

Re: August 2017 - Northern Monkeys Meet(s)
The weather forecast for Saturday is looking promising, assuming the ride goes ahead, I'd like to invite a 3 wheeled car driver to join us.
Are there any objections to this idea from anyone who will be attending the ride.
The driver lives in Wetherby & could give us an on the spot now-cast.
