16th September 2017 - Alternative Ride Out
If the Peak District ride, https://1200rt.com/viewtopic.php?p=35943#p35943 does not go ahead, I'd like to offer an alternative.
"The Three Morrisons", starting at Wetherby, heading to Keighley & Skipton, then returning to Wetherby.
The route will be mainly on Minor (white) roads, which I haven't previously ridden on, could be interesting.
On the return route between Skipton & Wetherby, a stop is planned at The Sun Inn near Fewston.
Basecamp says the distance is 95 miles in a riding time of 3.5 hours, plus 3 stops.
Weather permitting, is anyone available/interested in this idea, should the PD ride not take place.
As usual, the BC route is available if required.

Hopefully, the weather in Wetherby will be fair, http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2634217, that will determine whether or not I turn out.

Re: 16th September 2017 - Alternative Ride Out
Based on the current weather forecast, the ride should go ahead tomorrow. Sunday could be an option if Saturday is not good.BBT600 wrote:Is it still on?
I will confirm in the morning, prior to setting off for Wetherby before 09:00, is this early enough for all attendees.
If anyone would like the Garmin Basecamp route, please PM me an email address.
