IMPORTANT: This weekend

Ok, I have now been able to get 'out' for this Sunday....

So, we have some choices to make.

Do people still on the Lakes Run to proceed?

OR

Do we want to map out a shorter route, say a circular of up to 100 miles?

Feedback below please, and then we can move it forward.

Please presume the following regardless of which run it is:

1 - 9.30am meet for departure within 30 minutes

2 - stop at 11am-ish for refreshments/break somewhere

3 - 12.30-ish, lunch break

4 - 13.30 back on the road

5 - 14.30 refreshments/completion stop etc (could be changed depending on route of course)

Feedback asap please - want to know what we're doing by the end of today.

as feed back goes here it is

a shorter run of say a 100 miles will suit me best[dont know what others think ] but iam happy to do a longer one

9.30 would be ok .but a 30 min set off time say 10.00 .would allow for peaple getting lost/not putting clocks forward/etc etc

14.30  sounds good as a finishing time

and if we end up going to the lakes   i could get good info as were to go there   as i have good freinds that live there most weekends ...and they know were good foody places are etc etc

and my pass has been given for sunday    so iam even going to try to not run a hectic saturday of work   as i will need to up early with the birds  so i can get to the meet point [with out getting lost ]

iam well and trulely    in on this one ..and mrs pma  mite come aswell if shes shopped out by sunday

Count me in     I have never been on one of these "runs" before, but am looking forward to it, and to meeting you all (who turn up!).  I have no prefernce on route, duration, etc., so will go with the flow.

I am based In Chester le Street, but am happy to meet anywhere.  I think that "The Bear", aka Paul (another newbie), is also interested, so it looks like the numbers are growing!!!

Look forward to seeing you Sunday. 

i agree with the shorter route   there will be  a few virgins around so got to break them in gently  ,,come to think of it ....ive never done a car run out before   ...so be gentle with me guys

is there a meeting point  planned yet??????

so whats the "bobby moore" [score]on this one????

rhys   as posted on other thread      ....tagging along is the  easy route for me to find the place in question

and them pda things are far tooo much for me to work out too

as there hasnt been a set meet point    will one be annouced shortly

or is there little intrest on this one.i hope not as this will be a good day

Just hang in there - we'll certainly have a run of some kind, I'm just waiting to hear from Mick for an opinion on the shorter run.

+++ CONFIRMATION +++ CONFIRMATION +++ CONFIRMATION ++++

1.  The Lakes Run is CANCELLED.

2.  The Settle/Kirky Run will be scheduled for a later date due to our wanting a high number of members on it, and because it is a long run that isn't suited to a good few first time attendees.

BUT

3.  The Weekend Run is ON.  This will be a circular route of anywhere between 80-120 miles (ish) and I shall publish details of it tonight.

Looking through the thread so far we could have EIGHT (8) runners - and that's a decent show so you are assured of a laugh and plenty of 'keep the lead car' in sight fun (whomever that will be, we don't know yet!).

So...please, please, please ensure you keep the day free if you've expressed interest.  It'd be a shame for it to collapse at the last minute due to late drop out's.

Can't wait for the route to be published

I have invited my nephew who is really looking forward to the ride out

It will chear me up no end too as I had my mobile and wallet stolen this morning
