Alternative 'Northern Monkeys' June Meet 2017

[David.]

Was just putting this together, you're a bit too quick.

It's one I had prepared earlier, haven't ridden it yet.

At this rate, we'll have some routes in the bag for 2018.

[k9doc]

Some great roads in that area. Unfortunately, a little too far away for the real crackers. Would make a really long day( but it's not getting dark until ~2130 ).

Will crack on and refine the route and load it just in case.

All routes now loaded into the sat. nav., I hope someone turns up at Wetherby.

Will probably take until first tea break to work out where we're going!

After all the effort you and Chris (K9doc) have made with the routes I'm sure people will attend.


I'm looking forward to Saturday and which ever route we take I'm sure it will be enjoyable,  with coffee breaks to talk bo**ocks 

[simbo]

I'm diffidently attending but as for the route I'm not bothered as I don't know anywhere over that way so all new to me   
Sorry as I know that doesn't help matters....

Hi Michael, Do you fancy meeting at the same place as we met last time for the ride over to Wetherby? Say an 8:15 meet to give us time to get there and some breakfast before the 10:30 departure.

[k9doc]

Hey simbo, are you bringing the French piccies with you?

[michaelc2710]

Hi Simbo
Sounds like a plan, see you there 8.15.


Will it be croissant's for breakfast instead of a full miners......

[simbo]

Sacre Bleu!


I'm currently in the process of doing a write up    here, have a pic of my bike and Micks Pan at the outset and some of the grub we dined on  8)

[k9doc]

They certainly know how to present food. Not sure I'd eat some of the stuff they do though.

[David.]

What time on Saturday are folks aiming to arrive at Morrisons Wetherby for the first P&T stop.

[guest3954]

Howard's & my ETA just before 10:00hrs for Brekky

[David.]

Will crack on and refine the route and load it just in case.

Had another look at the Lincoln route, have trimmed it down to 135.8 miles in 3 hrs 59 mins.
Bearing in mind, we've all got an hour or more each way from home to Wetherby, like to aim for around 4 hours riding plus 3 stops.

[David.]

I'm looking forward to Saturday and which ever route we take I'm sure it will be enjoyable.

The forecast is looking good for Saturday, especially towards the east coast, I feel a ride in the Yorkshire Wolds coming on.

Could look something like this,



or this.

Howard's & my ETA just before 10:00hrs for Brekky.

I'll aim to get there for 10:00 too, for our first break of the day.
