Sorry I missed you all by seconds. I left just as the Gold Wing and Triumph guys were getting back to their bikes.

Thanks for the heads up lads a message would have been good.. Waited at Barton for 40 minutes for a no show, apart from the Gold Wing and hardy Triumph brigade.

Local update. Currently light to medium rain and predicted to stop around 1pm. The further East you come from Wetherby the more chance of rain.

Currently stopped raining ,sky is heavy and overcast with 50% rain forecast for most of the day. I am 6 miles away from Barton and will update mid morning.

You know I am your Lincs Met man in more ways than one.

I will be at Barton, but knees currently not up to a long milage ride out. What time do you expect to be at Barton for 12.30ish, or later?

At the moment Sunday weather is looking dry until late afternoon for N Lincs.

I would suggest A1077 to meet Normanby Road(B1430) would bring you back to your route. Should be relatively quiet on a Sunday, as not much industrial estate traffic Alternative stay on A1077 all the way to Barton. Flixborough to Burton upon Stather road is narrow, bumpy and a regular accident road.

Just a word of warning. I was driving on the Flixborough to Normanby road today and the road is breaking up badly with many potholes. I doubt these will be repaired before next Sunday, but the road was mentioned in the local newspaper tonight, so hopefully action will be taken.

Bit nicer background than being snapped coming into Barton on Barton Bike Night. I bought the snap and the mug!

Has the route planner got some foreign blood in them, as every roundabout has route going the wrong way around them. Today it took me 5 minutes to reverse paddle my bike out of the garage before I gave up and pushed it out-can't wait for my next knee op!

Due to continuing knee problems, I might meet at Wetherby then just go motorway to Barton. This will be less stop /start and reduced pressure on knee/Cartlidge. Alternatively, if knees are not up to it, will just meet at Barton for a drink. Worst case scenario I will drive in comfort to Barton!

Its ok for a more formal lunch , but not a cheap price. Quite noisy as well, as its a big open room.

Car park entrance is 20yards back from the no entry sign and is one way system. Could park as a group near kids playground in pic?

Wife went for a walk around Barton Waterside country park today. The only parking allowed near the café building is for staff and disabled. The main car park is some 400 yds away on gravel/grass-so need a congregating area if two groups are meeting up?
