Well, as the nights are becoming miserable, cold and dark . . we shall be having our meets on Sunday afternoons until the weather picks up again in the New Year.

Format will be almost the same, just my aim is for us to do a route a little further afield - and all being well, I'll have some suggestions and input from all of you over the next few months.

I'd like to try and include a destination stop off for a bite to eat and natter. (I'll try to find somewhere that suits a range of budgets wink)

I think we need to meet at the Wheatsheaf at 12.00 and aim to be on our route by 12.30.

Apologies to those who can't make it on Sundays, but tbh doing runs in the dark just isn't any fun.


I'll find a suitable route and lunch stop venue for this meet, but then I'd like some help from you guys. I can do the admin side of things, but as my new job means I'm away 2-3nights a week minimum, I just won't have the time to dedicate towards finding, trialling routes.

Cheers
Kirsty

I'd like to come if I could have a passenger ride, my Fiesta won't keep up and my motorbike is in bits!

Tried to book it off without success, especially so as I will be working the 13 hour night shift from Saturday night into Sunday morning for only 12 hours pay.

I'm really struggling due to being away with work - if anyone can suggest a route with a lunch stop that we can do I'd appreciate it.

I can get some route maps etc done if someone can get details to me.

Thanks

If it is on, could I possibly steal a passenger ride with someone?

I'm not keen on the eating dimension - was trouble enough doing a chippy.

I'd suggest eating at the Wheatsheaf before or after though a stop at a beauty spot for 15 minutes in the middle of a run is quite good.

Anywho - would like to turn up (if it's not raining at 'Southport' proportions) but may get stymied by family commitments.

And is 'Elle's' car single coz I'd like to marry it yes
