Taste of Lincolnshire 2014

First topic message reminder :

We've been a bit slow    setting this up, but a date for ToL has now been set.

Saturday 30th August 2014

Normally it would be the first weekend in September, but the accommodation was not available.   
I know it might clash with holidays etc, but still looking forward to welcoming some of you to Lincolnshire.
Yes, were back at the same place; with camping on the doorstep for the boys!

4 twin rooms have been booked so if you wish to reserve accommodation please let me or Mechy know.
Cost is 42.50 pppn B&B

More details to follow soon.

Chris

Oh go on then - put me down for it if there is still space.
I'll share with anyone who'll have me.

Let us know when and where you want the dough.

Cheers
Ross

I should be able to make this one now as we are putting the honeymoon fund towards a deposit on a house so will no longer be going on honeymoon at the end of August ... every cloud has a silver lining though right?

You can put me down for Rideout only at this point Chris.
May bring a couple of friends along to this one, will know closer to the date.

I should also be able to do this one now as I'm no longer doing the Nurburg trip...

Ross, Alleycat, YZF John & Mr France,

Thanks for the posts. Great you can make it.
I'll post up a sign up summary soon.

Ross - space reserved
Alleycat/Mr France - will you be camping or do you need accommodation?
YZF John - no problems, but let me know numbers and riding experience nearer the time

Look forward to seeing you all at the end of August.

Cheers,
Chris

I think me and Alex will be camping again Chris

Thanks

Hi Chris

Since I blew BC (through no fault of my own) have pleaded with Mrs Snowcat and she has kindly allowed me to cash in some unearned brownie points so I will be joining on this one.

Please put me down for the two nights, I'll need a room please, happy to share with anyone who will have me, finally another night on the beer with Mr Ross!!

Looking forward to this and no I ain't bringing a friend!!

Cheers

Steve

Nice one mate. I'll be there for this one too.

It was touch and go as I only get back off holiday on the Monday but considering what happened at BC my wife took pity on me and is letting me out

Glad you can make, you did the right thing at BC and deserve an outing.

Shame I can't make it myself, I will be in Ireland as things stand

Well after a busy time me and chris finally got out to start an attempt on the route for this year,, now we have sorted about 10% out and have come up with the idea that we will just turn up on the day and take suggestions on the route , kind of a magical mystery tour ???
I will say in all honesty that the ride out might be the first time i ride my bike for proper this year so please be aware i will be rather slower (if possible) and will ride accordingly

What about-

Caistor High street
Lissington Bends.
Revesby Bends
Bardney Bends
Applebys at Conisholme
Horncastle - Scrafield Fork - Spilsby - Skegness is a cracker.
Willingham Woods - Louth - Skegness
Alford - Maltby Le Marsh - Mablethorpe.

Not that Im excited or anything ....

Mechy, when your in the mood, your as quick as any of us lot.

My proper biking this year so far is Wee Mac and a couple of track days.
Because I care and cherish your company, I'll be at the back with you if you are tail end Charlie this year.

I cherish your company too. I've no idea how you've only managed to accrue 1 numpty point though......lightweight.

Needs to be braver or more daring he does. Not just a straight line specialist on motorways.

That Fazer has made him a light weight ( apart from the M180). Needs a kinda samoui sword or of similar piece of kit to get his riding up to scratch again.

Sadly I'm going to have to bow out of ToL this year, few things have come up and going to struggle to make it now.

Gutted I can't come! And hopefully I will be able to make it next year

Sorry to hear that Dave.

if i,m not on cover i will come for the ride only

Tomorrow's the day!!

Last night I gave my bike its customary pre-ride out shakedown.  I can report that it passed with a clean bill of health; the tyres never burst when I kicked them and the bodywork stood up to the rigours of a damp cloth.  All fluids are healthy, and so are the bike's.

The weather forecast seems to be going our way too!

27 hours to go! Then I'm switching to rideout mode

The bike will get a once over tonight. Better not be any problems!

Enjoy the ride up. See you all at the bar on Fri night.

Chris

Sadly Ye 0lde Bike will not be putting in an appearance  . . . . Even worse than that . . . I'll be there to assist in propping up the bar

Nice one Tel be good to catch up, pity about bikey but at least you'll be there

Ride safe and have a goodun!

Safe ride everyone, have a great weekend.
