Title: Weekend Ride Anyone?
Post by: Lonewolf on November 18, 2010, 10:52:38 PM
Does anyone fancy meeting up this weekend, 20th or 21st? I haven't got anywhere definate in mind but I'm thinking somewhere like Arnside or Morcambe. A steady ride out, a bite to eat, chat etc and then just see what the weather looks like if you fancy going anywhere else. Some areas further up in Cumbria are expecting snow which I dont fancy experiencing on the GTR but the weather forecast for Arnside isnt that bad. It even mentions sunshine.  :o

On a weekend? Weekends are for resting, unless you have a crap job like mine of course.... ;)

Lots of time yet before the bike needs to hibernate.

Right, no takers it would seem, shame, could have been a good day out.  :(

I'm going to head here...Sunday's ride out (http://visitcumbria.com/pen/hartside-pass.htm)

Its a couple of years since I've been, a very popular place for bikers, especially during the Summer, not too sure about November :D

The weather forecast is going to be cold but dry, I can live with that.  Roll on Sunday!!

No worries, we will sort out another suitable date at some point in the future. I was out about six hours all in all. I like to make a full day of it when I'm out. I did get up to Hartside Summit, I'll do a write up with pics later either tonight or tomorrow at some time and stick it in the Adventure section . I also have some video footage which I'll stick on U-tube when I get a chance.
