Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Dead Eye - 01-03-14
Wasn't sure to start with about this one, but with the weather forecast I'll definitely be skipping it... if its next week... then maybe, we'll see
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Lez72 - 01-03-14
Weathers looking pants folks. Shame really as I've been looking forward to this one. I went to the Mallory Park open day today with the Mrs and the weather was lovely with loads of bikes out and about at the event and on the surrounding roads. I suppose it's too much to ask for 2 decent days in a row yet
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - nick crisp - 01-03-14
Think I'd prefer to do this one on dry roads, so I'm gonna bow out this weekend. Bugger

Sad but another day for me,damn rain,,
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Red Ceri - 01-03-14
Hate to admit it but don't fancy riding home in the pissing down rain that is forecast for 2pm onwards, plus the winds are supposed to be 20mph, wind and rain not for me.
I'll probably do the Burnham bends in the morning before the weather closes in.
Lets see what next week brings

Just spoken to Exup and with heavy rain due on the route of the ride before it would be completed. It is looking like the best idea is to post pone till next weekend.

I think that's best unfortunately. Also, it's already freezing outside here, and we've had rain, so likely to be very icy in the morning. Don't think the bike will see daylight at all tomorrow. Fingers crossed for next weekend.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - fazersharp - 01-03-14
They are such good roads it would of been a shame not to be able to do them properly tip toeing in the wet
Good call
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Exupnut - 01-03-14
Bit gutted but it is what it is. No point doin the ride if people are bowing out as the whole point of the rideouts is to get as many people as possible to turn up. If anyone wants to meet somewhere for some breccy tomorrow morning in london please post up as the rain is due about 2 ish.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - midden - 01-03-14
For the best I suppose :'(
I'd be up for Brekkie in the name of fat foccers
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - Lez72 - 02-03-14
We definitely need to do this one at some point though. If you guys do it next weekend instead I will have to miss out as I'm working (like most weekends) but please come over to the midlands again in the future as it would be good to put some faces to names. Gutted about this one to be fair as I have booked time off now
I'm don't mind riding in the wet but it's certainly not my favourite pastime and it certainly takes the edge off a good ride out on twisty, scenic roads. Plus with the amount of salt they are still throwing down on the roads over our way it would turn the little boxeye into a right proper mess and she doesn't do salt.
Bloody British Weather
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - midden - 02-03-14
I'm working next week to Lez. Perhaps if next weeks ride is a success it can be repeated in the summer and on the shift workers schedule

I hope so.
Re: Lofo/Middle Earth ride Sun 2nd March - dazza - 02-03-14
I'm a bit gutted too about this one as I was all geared up for it but do think it was the right decision. Wind and rain definitely takes the fun out of it and with such a long distance to cover and a good twisty route planned it certainly makes sense to put it off. Just a shame that some can't make it next weekend. Roll on the summer and a little weekend trip to Wales I say.

Clearly, Exup wants to be shown how to shag sheep... Is he secretly Welsh?
:lol
