Sorry but I will have to pull out of this ride out. All available finance has become a sofa for me to rest my tiered hard working body. That is after wife's instruction

All in all the weather isn't looking particularly great this weekend
I'll be hanging on until the morning to figure out exactly how bad it is going to be. Off on Saturday morning to get the bike cleaned and ACF treated

Right you lot so is it deffo saffron Walden Tescos 11:00..if so may just find my way there as it's only half hour away from ome :lol
Re: LOFO (plus hangers on) all day breakfast tour 2015 - 29/3/2015 - HarryHornby - 26-03-15
Yes Eddie, weather permitting and if any of us can actually find the tescos we'll be there!!!!! :-)
If it's some rain for the day I'll still go, if it's chucking it down I think we postpone.
Re: LOFO (plus hangers on) all day breakfast tour 2015 - 29/3/2015 - HarryHornby - 27-03-15
I reckon we will be ok on Sunday, especially in the morning/early afternoon. Sittingbourne gives rain from about 4pm but saffron is showing sun and cloud all day. As the week has gone on the weather has become more favourable so fingers crossed.
Is everyone ok with the plan?
11.00 Saffron Waldon Tesco
For the local(ish) lads is that a sensible meeting place?
If you decide on the day that you're not up for it, please text me or Dazza so we don't end up waiting.
I'll PM everyone my number later today.

All sounds good to me and great work in trying to organise everything Harry

If val and I are not there at 11:00 please don't wait for us.

Gonna have to duck out of this as I've come down with some sort of virus bug man flu. Feel and look like shite so probably not a good idea to go nutting about on bikes.
If by tomorrow I make a miraculous recovery I will be there but I very much doubt it.
Re: LOFO (plus hangers on) all day breakfast tour 2015 - 29/3/2015 - stevie-g1968 - 28-03-15

Re: LOFO (plus hangers on) all day breakfast tour 2015 - 29/3/2015 - HarryHornby - 28-03-15
It's really not looking good, they've gone from cloudy, sunny rain to RAIN :'(
Do we just call it a day tonight and plan for another date?
Re: LOFO (plus hangers on) all day breakfast tour 2015 - 29/3/2015 - stevie-g1968 - 28-03-15
ive been looking on various weather sites and its been getting worse as the afternoon goes on.....95% chance of heavy rain and high winds in the morning for me here :rolleyes

Re: LOFO (plus hangers on) all day breakfast tour 2015 - 29/3/2015 - mtread - 28-03-15
BBC weather map says a lot of rain about 10:00 am, but lessening afterwards
