Moring men, N Lincs weather update- Broken cloud, sun trying to come thru, dry and 15C. Expected to be dry most of day might get isolated light shower and high of 21C. Due to neighbour plying me with drink, will not make start point, but may meet up later in day if you do the rivers route. Have a good ride.

I'm sure your neighbour didn't force you to drink.

The plan is to do the North Lincolnshire route, first stop will be at The Yorkshire Waterways Museum near Goole, then The Trent Port pub near Gainsborough & finally, Morrisons in Selby.

PM me your mobile number and I'll keep you posted with our progress.

Just spent a good few hours with David, Simbo and Paggers in East York's and  N Lincs on the latest Northern Monkeys Tour.  Ok, on my local roads so not too taxing and sooo relaxing when you know what's after the next bend. Hope you guys had a good , uneventful return to NE and NW and looking forward to the next do. Next time, Fireball will not be consumed night before a run out. ;)
Cheers
Chris

After first meeting up at the inaugural Yorks/Lincs meet in October 2016, it was good to see you again today Chris.
Joining us at Goole & departing from Gainsborough worked just fine.

Also nice to meet Paggers, out for the first time with the Northern Monkeys.

Mustn't forget Simbo too.

Thanks for your company guys, some new roads & sights for me today.

The three of us went our separate ways from Selby.

Great day out for me, and a good induction to the 'Northern Monkeys'. 273 miles all told from door to door. I did take some photos, and shoot some helmet cam video, so at some point over the next few days I should be able to post up something giving a taster of the ride.

Thanks to David for organising and leading, and it was nice to meet Simbo and Chris (Scunny1).

Link below to my video on youtube showing some of the roads we rode on, and including some pictures that look remarkably like Simbo's above.

Now we have both a professional photographer & video maker.

Just need some professionals to organise the ride outs.
