Cat And Fiddle/Snake Pass Rideout 29/07/04

[iCraig]

Well Me and SummY are thinking of having a midweek rideout this tuesday.

Anyone wishing to join us is very welcome, we'll arrange a meeting point nearer the time or we can just meet at Siddington or Tesco Congleton depending on whose coming.

[M1ke]

Don't you people ever work?

[iCraig]

I work from 6am to 2pm so I have all afternoon off!

[Annabella]

I could make the afternoon....... Tempting.

I have just got back from work, i thought after yesterdays weather it would be more of the same today, pretty gutted now. Just holding on to hope it wont let me down on tues.

I'm pretty flexible on tues, what ever suites everyone else.

[karen_moomin]

I'll go if it's after work (I finish at 5pm).

[iCraig]

Hmmmm, an evening rideout.

Sounds quite nice, cos most of the evening have been quite nice so far.

Good Idea Karen! .

Did have a ride across last Sunday and found the lake (eventually). Only saw a little bit of rain on the way home on the A34 (how cheeky is the speed camera in the trees).
I am busy tuesday so won't be riding across but probably going down to MotoGP.

Damn, i'm going to work now till 10...

Oh well least tomorrow is going to be just as nice.

So who is comming and what time is it happening?

[iCraig]

As a ball park time, maybe 6pm - 6:30pm?

I'm free all afternoon so its these peeps that are working should decide .

Oh and I'm deffo comin .

[karen_moomin]

I haven't decided yet, although it will possibly be a yes. I can get to Siddington Lake by 6.30pm, although it's tempting to go to work on the bike (the lake is on my way home)..however I have parking issues so I think I'll resist the temptation...

I'll let you know for sure tomorrow, but don't base your plans round me or anything (not that you would! )

[Phil.]

Right well im going to get ready to go now, if you read this craig PM me an we will sort something out.

[karen_moomin]

It's 10 minutes until the end of play and I still can't decide if I fancy going on a ride. Hmm...



Will you lot be at Siddington Lake at 6.30pm if I decide to go?

[iCraig]

Karen, so far i think its just me going

[karen_moomin]

Right, just about to set off. We'll wait til 7pm in case there's anyone else going to show up.

[karen_moomin]

Well that was fun

As soon as we started up to the Cat and Fiddle I could see the black clouds rolling in, but it was too late to turn back. By the time I reached the pub it had started to slat it down and there was thick fog. They have put tarmac down on the C & F carpark and put in a speed bump...I'm sure that will not go down too well with some of the regulars, it took me by surprise (and Craig too, so he tells me!). Had time for a cuppa in the pub, but wanted to get going before the rain/fog got any worse.

The way home was scary, it was raining hard and there were pools of water in the roads. I went home the Bosley Crossroads way, which (if anyone knows it) is a very windey and challenging road. I just took it really, really slow.

I'm drenched but it was fun! Shame others couldn't make it. Maybe next time??

[iCraig]

I enjoyed it too Karen and thanks for the coke .

That bloody speed hump nearly knocked me off bloody thing!

I didn't get to wet, probably cos I was riding to fast for it to hit me .

Also it was quite a nice ride up, the road being empty (and dry) no caravans in site or a cars or police for that matter .

Just shows you what a good time to go on that road is!

Hopefully next time a few more peeps would show up too !

[Phil.]

Hi

Im kinda glad i went when i did then, it were quite nice.

I learned my lesson the first time with that speed bump, did try to warn you about that.. https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28749

Sorry i missed it on the other hand though, would of been my first bcf meet.

Aside from getting stuck behind a police car after the pub i enjoyed it. Just after i gave it a clean and oil it started to rain and missed your message on msn by about 5 mins craig.

Next week sometime maybe?

[M1ke]

It's a pretty long ride for me to get there (100 mile round trip) plus other reasons which I won't bore you with. Some time soon though I haven't bee to a bike meet in ages either

[iCraig]

Bit short notice I know but I'm off up there (Either the C&F or snake pass) for a bit of a ride tomorow after about 3pm, if anyone cares to join me, reply etc etc!
