North West Bikers to Rivel the Midlands   Right ho, with regard to Ian 2690's suggestion lets see if we can get this up and running.    The next bank hols is end of August and there are only two rallies/events I can see on the calendar (Thunder in the Glens being one).    Seeing as it is a quietish weekend for rallies and the like, how about arranging the inaugaral meet up for then.     Either the Sunday or the Monday (personally I'd prefer the Sunday, but happy either way).     Good mix of riders, newbies and experienced, all bikes (don't be put off if you have only just passed...I am still new to all this or have a 125) welcome.   Rides to suit everyone's level of ability.   Meet ups, times, and ride out suggestions welcome.     Soon as we get some details I will ask Sandi to add to the events page.      RB                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds good, should be able to meetup anywhere around the north west ;)

P.S. Sunday sounds good as well :)                                                                                                                                                                             

Hi RB - good to see a great northern lass taking on such an initiative for the North West - just a shame that I'm so far away in Peterborough.  Wishing you. and others involved, good luck and success with setting this up. 
                                                                                                                                                                             

Well Firestorm...thats two of us lol.      Thanks Saltaire, I can't take credit for the Idea as that was down to Ian2690, but it would be a good crack.   Shame you are aways away, but if you are ever over here, shout up and hopefully we can get something organised.   Come on you lot.    it would be nice to beat David Neal's meet up of 4, and we are half way to that lol.   RB                                                                                                                                                                                

Hey RB we are always up for ride, we'll keep watching the thread and will be there if available.                                                                                                                                                                             

Need to find somewhere central in the north west with good rides, since I am new to this I will have to bow out on ideas as so far only been to Rivington, southport, Liverpool and up the cost roads to Blackpool lol....Novice :(                                                                                                                                                                             

FireStorm I'm new too, as I only passed Mod 2 last July...oooh nearly a year.  blimey not sure where that went...anyhoo.   I too will have to bow to the more experienced riders as to rides.  
Hopefully we will get some good ideas and a good crowd.   RB

bumping up for anyone interested.   I am going to suggest the Sunday.     Suggestions as to rides out, meet up points and stop offs welcomed.    We had a lovely ride out to North Wales on the last trip out (thank you again Martin, Diane, Mal and Ollie) in April.     All levels welcome.   If you are still learning its ok we can find routes that don't involve motorways etc.      RB                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm in, Sunday's good for me too.

John
                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm up for this if any of my bikes are still working (I seem to have a knack for breaking them lol).  Dont mind where we go.                                                                                                                                                                             

The Sunday is the 25 August........so if this suits everyone can we pin the date down. I can then get it added to the events calender.

Suggestions of places to end up/routes.......north wales, Morecambe, southport, the lakes. Any more suggestions/preferences?

Anyone who is learning let me know and we can sort a route that doesn't includes motorways and all levels/experience/engine size are welcome. The more the merrier.

RB

Maybe it could be combined with the North Wales ride out, the events calendar is pretty full up until August. As for motorways........well I can do'em but they bore the cr*p out of me TBH.

Must admit though the M56 gets you close to some good biking routes in record time although I still regularly go Runcorn, Frodsham, Helsby way.                                                                                                                                                                              

i should be free that weekend so i'll have a blast out be good to blow the cobwebs of me lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Absolutely RD.... I checked and its a fairly quiet weekend for rallies.

I will have been riding for just over a year at this point so still green round the edges. So more than happy for the more experienced to take the lead with routes,.

Not keen on motorways but dont like em when driving either.....boredom sets in REAL quick.

It will be good to meet you Franny.
RB

Okey have just asked for the date to be put on the events page so people can add emselves to it.

I have indicated that the route will be sorted out nearer the time.

Sandi hope that is ok for the mo and as soon as I get the route details and meet up place and time I will let you know
