has WB been doing her neked dancing again??                                                                                                                                                                              

latest forecast  is for showers tomorrow...i'm easy...also have pillion availabe if we go ahead                                                                                                                                                                             

So who's up for a little bit of rain....or a lot of rain as the case may be?   And do we all know it's Sat not Sun (although there's nothing to stop it being Sun if the weather is going to be better and everyone agrees - just to confuse things more!).   *yes, I thought it was still Sunday until a couple of days ago!*                                                                                                                                                                             

Weather for tomorrow is supposed to be windy, cool, lots of cloud and scattered showers. might be worth the risk as Sunday looks worse.

Can we clear this up. we're not meeting in Gargrave but at the Little Thief, Gargrave Road on the outskirts of Skipton, just off the Skipton by-pass.

Is that right Geoff?

Bang on, super duper!   Ok, there seems to be a bit of confusion, caused predominantly I think by the title of the thread.   The plan had been to go to Southport on Sunday, but because of how the thread began to pan out, I made the decision that more people would be able to make in if it was on Saturday.  Apologies if this is wrong.   So, three things.   Firstly, the ride is tomorrow, Saturday the 18th not Sunday as per the thread title.   Secondly, we are meeting at the Little Chef on Gargrave Road, off the A65/A59/A629 roundabout west of Skipton.  Meet at around half ten, leave at eleven.   Thirdly, the weather   I had considered simply cancelling because a: the weather over the past two days has been pretty sh*te and b: I've just spent over two hours washing mine and Roachy's bikes after our hols .  However, if it's really bad in the morning it's off, otherwise Roachy and me will be heading for Skipton.  If unsure drop me a pm before nine.                                                                                                                                                                             

Really hope it stays dry for whoever goes, but looking at the forcast, make sure waterproofs are waterproof as you could get caught in a shower  or 2                                                                                                                                                                              

Ah bugger! I'm working til late afternoon Saturday .                                                                                                                                                                              

Ok, those that want to meet at Southport, I am aiming for the McDonalds on Marine Parade at around half twelve.                                                                                                                                                                             

just looked at the weather for you guys, it dont look too good to be honest, i am not travelling all the way from leicester in the rain, just aint no fun                                                                                                                                                                             

Yep, I know Ian.   Remember peeps, if the weather is bad in the morning, this run is liable to be off. PM me before 9 for confirmation.
