Free for Ride Saturday.

Getting a little bored riding on my own. Have to drop my daughter off a 9am Saturday but if there is anyone fancying a ride on Saturday or Sunday I am free.

John.

if i'd been about you're near enough for me to have said yes - but i have a neil diamond concert to get to and from so no - although i will be in Peterborough albeit getting in and out of the car at the railway station!

Neil Diamond - you serious? LOL

Thanks thou, it's the thought that counts - Dropped for Neil Diamond, Gee!

Update:
Meeting Steve and others down Wiltshire. Should be a massive round trip.

Fun.

have a great rideout, for future reference in not too far to arrange something next time you get bored

Made it back to Baldock services (A1), few mile left to go, absolutely knackered and its getting cold outside.

Yep i was serious and can i just say that he was absolutely fantastic - ok so he wasn't quite as good as Queen but as i saw them in 1985 i don't suppose they can count because very few things would top them and he was better than Runrig who are my second favourite group so i've given him a fairly high recommendation - i wasn't the youngest there by a long shot either AND i had a front row side balcony seat quite near the stage and choklit too so my night was good allround - i'm fairly easily pleased. Then it rained on me at peterborough and after the dirtiness of London even that was nice!
Still, next time you're out and about let me know i may keep up with you for a mile whereabouts peterborough are you? I'm just off the a16/a17 roundabout few miles down from spalding so only half hourish down the road from you depending whereabouts you are there - lol i went over the roundabout on Bourges Boulevard today that i dropped the bike on when i was on my way to my test - learnt with Camriders in P'boro

I am actually in Wittering but People generally do know the name so I generalize with Peterborough.

Glad you had a nice night out, however I was getting ribbed on the Rideout yesterday that I had been stood up for Neil Diamond!

I got rained on a little bit on the way back yesterday and by 11pm the temperature dropped - had took the warm inner lining out as it had been a warm day!

I find it good to go places/ routes that you have incidents on - builds the confidence. The tarmac on Bourge Boulevard it particulary slipery probably due to the buses dropping oil etc. Had a very close one today - car pulled out as I was excellerating bye - very close.

I learn't with Tim at Apex, highly recommend him as he trains well above the test standard, for him it's a pssion not a job. He also has a trade catalogue that he allows students/ ex-students to order out of at trade prices (cash only).

My next weekend free for riding is 23/24.

Ah yes Wittering i know it (doesn't everyone lol tho i wouldn't go through p'boro myself to get to it) - as for being ribbed for being stood up for Neil Diamond i wouldn't worry - they would have found something else to rib you about anyway ain't that right Johnboy

I'm about 24th if you fancy a meet up then shout.

CamRiders at p'boro were brill too - guy i had was also above and beyond - he was one of the 'teach more than they need to know' ones and after i passed he turned up on several occasions out of the blue with a couple of radios and took me down to Wells and Hunny as i had no one to ride with to make sure i got out and about on the bike. But that bloody roundabout - i was mortified and it was my own fault - lights were amber and it was a shall i sharn't i moment then i realised I had big boss behind me and thought it may reflect badly on my instructor if i went on an amber so i stopped sharply which was fine then i heard Graham on the radio say 'er suzie you may want put your fo... oh too late' and i was down. I then threw a complete strop because he was laughing and telling me we'd just sit on the side of the road (bearing in mind we were front in the queue) so i could catch my breath and he could have a fag and i refused to take my lid off until the guys in the builders van next to me had gone - still, i passed my test so it wasn't all bad!

Now, if that hadn't happened then you wouldn't have had a great story to tell and make me laugh.

I have only done Hunstanton once, find most of the trip boring. I do love Well's thou but haven't done that trip , so if the weather looks good then my be we could do that and have fish & chips! I have a kite that folds into a tiny bum bag as well - LOL!

Shall we touch base closer to 24th?

That's unlike me to be well behaved - must have been having an off day!

fish chips and a kite - now you're talking - sounds like a plan not been to Wells this year yet - yeah let's sort something nearer the time then - hunny is mind bogglingly boring! Steve I'm sure you were very polite really

I'm sure I was ... Needed to make sure Pam was happy being on the ride seeing she likes Neil Diamond, so Steve [1] Neil Diamond [0]
