Re: Northern Monkeys May Meet Up
Just a thought, if anyone would like to meet up with us in Castleton, I guess our ETA at the car park (N53.34377° W1.77768°) to be around 12:30.
Likewise, if wishing to "bail out" early, the Bank View Café at Langsett (N53.50060° W1.68070°) isn't far (10 miles) from the M1.

Re: Northern Monkeys May Meet Up
Perhaps attendees could post their location and what the weather is doing "live" where they are on Saturday morning, "RT Weather Watchers".

Re: Northern Monkeys May Meet Up
Looking forward to the 'Meet Up' tomorrow. Forecast reasonable, patchy rain in the morning. Let's hope the patches miss us.

Re: Northern Monkeys May Meet Up
The forecast looks very changeable for tomorrow.
I'll open the curtains and see what it's doing in the morning, if other folks could do the same, that would be a great help, thanks.
As above, please post some "live" casts from your location.
If we get to the NCMM for the meet up at 10:30, depending on what the weather throws at us, we could always do plan B, whatever that may be.
From the NCMM, we could head North, South, East or West, whichever is best.
Will post my intentions before 09:00 in the morning.

Morning all.
Sun shining with plenty of light, high cloud and cool breeze. 12 Celcius and dry. Perfect biking weather. Probably similar in Castleton which is 21 miles to the NW as the crow flies.

Still dry with light cloud here at IB, the temperature is going up, now 13.0 degC with a slight breeze.
The NCMM opens at 10:00 (more time to drink tea & talk), was thinking of taking a scenic (non-motorway) route, will post before I set off.

Re: Northern Monkeys May Meet Up
The scenic option for me would be duplicating our route so it'll be a quick 60 minute squirt up the M1.David. wrote: Still dry with light cloud here at IB, the temperature is going up, now 13.0 degC.

Looks like the café is open from 09:00, https://www.ncm.org.uk/visitors/cafe-shop-and-picnic, that's breakfast sorted.
For anyone wishing to join us, we will be leaving the NCMM at 11:00.

Re: Northern Monkeys May Meet Up
Might have to do it the 'Hobbit' way and have 2 breakfasts. Off to have the first one and then take the dog a walk. See you later.

I'll be setting off around 08:00, with an ETA at the NCMM of 10:00 to 10:30, see you there.
My bike was clean when I set off, honest.
