What? Even Tarmacced onesFirestormMike wrote:Meeting Timbo and Steve (Zakalwe) at Hawes, then off to wherever.
Dunno why I'm bothering to post this to be honest, as it always seems to be just the usual suspects who come out.
Anyway, it would be rude not to invite, so there you go. As ever, it will include some cracking roads and scenery.

Erm, Gateshead or Birtley or wherever it is he comes from, is not Geordie land, but I'll let you off seeing as you are in the posh part of Durham/Darlo landsimo wrote:You'll have no hassel this weekend,all the pigs are chasing a Geordie nutter around Rothbury lol

Here's a question.
There are a few of us living round the NW, how come nobody ever replies to these threads? Understand with those not in the area, fair enough, but there is definitely a few members round this area and some have been known to whine about the lack of meets. We usually arrange these rides via text but always chuck it on here just in case anyone other than the usual suspects wants to join us, are we wasting our time?
It takes visitors from Scotland to get some out in WalesMaybe they should visit the NW too. Maybe it is just lack of enthuisiasm? Myself and Dave ride for around 100 miles out of way sometimes to have a meet/rideout and we are all in favour of new routes/meeting new peeps etc. If it hadn't of been for Dave needing a new back tyre (enroute now) we'd of been tempted so it is a good idea to post on here, although we are around 80 odd miles from the Lakes, but would be nice to meet up some of you guys and gals up at Hartside or close to it and possibly have a run out to Barnard Castle etc. Well that's just us anyhow

(I know, not many round the Bristol/Wales area, j/k).

same here - would like to join the parade but need as much notice as possible as not only me has to book fri & mon off but have to arrange for mrs as she works sunday.cupasoop wrote:Keep us updated on details Mike, August is a busy month but may be able to slope off for a day or 2.
We don't live anywhere close to kilmarnock, we only stay 8 miles from Dumfries so we can make Hartside/Alston etc in an hr at most. I think last time we went to Hartside, we clocked the mileage as around 55 miles ish..So definately within the realms of possibility. We never got out this weekend as only just back from Wales and Dave needs his new tyre to arrive, so maybe out on Sunday but 25th is the Annual Durham cops bikewise event Sunday after..Timbo wrote:Thats a bit ripe coming from youcupasoop wrote:Everyone knows you're a miserable sod so wont go out riding with youTimbo wrote:There are a few of us living round the NW, how come nobody ever replies to these threads?

And ABB, we sort of do big loops when we are out, sure some could meet up with is along the way, though not sure we loop as high as Kilmarnock (or wherever u live).
