Weather for  Knottingley on Sunday is sunshine n showers with heavy between 1 and 4 pm so That may be a run chat and laff for a quick alternative Post up if anyone fancies that instead                                                                                                                                                                             

Well if I go to squires I first pick my bike up in Cleethorpes then ride to squires from there! ?? so still a ride out of an 1.5 hours to get there! ?? ...then there's the distraction of twisty roads! Lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Wet stormy weather doesnt bother me or Stuie and we are happy to 'go with the flow' so to speak!
 
However, atm I doubt I will be attending as personal circumstances at present are not looking great, four days further down the line and no improvement as yet.  I will keep you posted.                                                                                                                                                                             

Its great britan its going to rain. Would you worry about the weather if it was a winter ride out?

Personaly im not worried. I need to get out soo. Or i am going to go mad                                                                                                                                                                             

Well I ride in all weathers, if it rains while I'm out it really doesn't bother me, but if it's lashing down before I even get out then chances are I'll not bother.

                                                                                                                                                                             

I ride all year round....get wet (and cold) enough during the week.  If I'm going to do a ride for enjoyment, well tbh I prefer dry weather. 
That said, as stated, for any of you who want to do this run, the route is there.
I will look for another Sunday when there isn't a rally and repost.

                                                                                                                                                                             

If its the BBC weather you been watching, they are notorious for getting Welsh weather completely wrong...
Very often it's the exact opposite of what they predict.

There's no way they can predict Welsh weather 3 days in advance!
It's only thursday, personally I would call it Saturday evening, but that's just me...

Anyway, whichever way, may the gods be with you!

Iam of the opinion of imola will ride in it not a prob if caught done plenty in my time but like he says if its lashing down in the AM another day beckons.                                                                                                                                                                             

I used accuweather as more reliable. I was aware that Able had booked a b&b so in light of not having anyone lose money, and to give everyone a choice as to whether they still wanted to do this, I felt it only fair to call it today.

It's a personal choice, the route is there, the meeting points are there, so it's down to the individual shold they chose to still go on this.

I don't judge anyone as to the choice of weather they choose to ride in. I obviously fall under fair whether rider, despite riding all year round, in all weather, for my work commute but then choosing not to ride in bad weather on my days off!

Each to their own, as they say

My thanks to Exup for the route planning. The only apology I will make for not attending is to him, for his time in planning the route.

Don't worry Jo you defiantly are not a fair weather rider. And I doubt you would ever be accused of being such.

If your textiles are water logged tho there are a few old courier tricks you could employ for 7 day a week dryness. You have my contact details if you want the secret.                                                                                                                                                                              

As long as it's not monsoon season , don't mind a bit of rain riding if peeps want to still do the ride, Wales can be majestic when she's wet, misty and wild                                                                                                                                                                             

Anyways , unless it's a total wash out, I'll aim to be at Chester services from around 9                                                                                                                                                                              

I reckon on still going, hopefully the weather won't be monsoon season, but a bit of rain aint no bother! 

So I will be heading to Wales anyway on Saturday, sample the local hospitality and be at either chester services or tesco's, more likely tesco's from Prestatyn way. 

I've been looking forward to it so not gonna pull out now, we could always find a local cafe to hide out of the rain in!

  <- coffee!

I've got waterproofs and am prepared to use them! 

see ya there...


                                                                                                                                                                             

I would ask that if you are now not  going, you take your piccie off the events page.  That way anyone who is going knows who to look out for at the meet points.

                                                                                                                                                                             

Have fun folks                                                                                                                                                                              

Thanks BJ, sure it'll be a good day come rain or shine, route not set in stone as all roads lead somewhere ( well except Ireland lol) and we can play it by ear what with time and conditions                                                                                                                                                                             

I will meet everyone (anyone!?) at Ruthin Tesco's about 10 am Sunday if that's ok. hopefully I wont look like a drowned rat!                                                                                                                                                                             

Fingers crossed I will be there, as long everything is well with the bike. See you there.

Now where did I put those sliders?                                                                                                                                                                             

After my recent "off" at Cadwell I have bought some nice Spanish sliders.... Yup for my El bow..... Ooh yes puntastic! ??                                                                                                                                                                             

Have a fun day and ride safe everyone :)
