Big difference.  In Saddleworth we used to get out of the bath to take a pee!

At the moment, the weather forecast for Saturday 1st April 2017 isn't great, showers expected.

With only Simbo & I showing any interest in meeting up, I will make a decision late on Friday evening or early Saturday morning whether to go ahead or not.

I will post again nearer the time.

Sorry, but with showers (some heavy) forecast for tomorrow (Saturday),  I'm going to "bail out" of this meet up.

If anyone (inc. Simbo) would like to choose another date and/or come up with an idea which might be of more interest to others, then I'd consider it, thanks.

Any thoughts on another date or destination etc., although what was planned looked good to me.

Anywhere for me David, I get over that way quite often throughout the year, Usually Sunday's starting out with breakfast at Route 59 and then up into the Dales/Nidderdale for a ride round. Saturday's my 'could end up anywhere' day, Just depends what's on and where?  :)

OK, shall we stick to a Saturday or would there be more interest if it was a Sunday.

Saturday was originally suggested to fit in with gogs01.

Has the idea of a Northern meet up become a "dead duck".

I'm still interested in a meet up David, Saturdays looking like decent weather, Route 59 Cafe for Lunch possibly? There doesn't seem to be any other 'Northerners' interested though? Maybe they all ride LC models and their bikes are in the garage for repair  ;)
