Poll: OcUK Manchester(ish) Ride 2015

[R0B75]

110 mile round trip for me. Bit far to say hi
I was really looking forward to this as well. *sulks*

 

[FrenchTart]

I'm sure we can organise an additional ride within the next couple of months if need be

 

[Vonhelmet]

I'm going to have to see how it looks tomorrow. If it's going to be two plop rain all morning I might have to give it a miss!

Sorry totally forgot about this, but I can't make it this weekend unfortunately. Just got too much on at the moment that commuting cycling is the only way I can get out on my bike!

 

[platypus]

Just got chance to check this, if the weather is that bad is it worth postponing?

 

[FrenchTart]

I'm happy to rearrange if people prefer too.

 

[platypus]

I need to know before 12pm as thats when I drive up north .

I am around for two weeks and then back in August and can happily go for a ride down here if the consensus is to postpone.

 

[FrenchTart]

Personally I'm generally more inclined to give it a go in the morning but then again I already know that I'll be back home by 3pm so I won't be stuck out all day soaking wet

Obviously if not doing it tomorrow means that you don't have to drive up and mess around then it might be for the best. I don't know how many others would want to make it out if it turns out to be as bad as the forecast looks (though so far today it's less bad than forecaast).

Annoyingly Sunday looks much nicer but I can't make Sunday :/ Might be good for everyone else though?

 

[platypus]

And just you and I on at present .

 

[FrenchTart]

Lol

How about next weekend? We were originally going to do our south coast ride but that has been cancelled.

Another vote for postponing here. Weather looks horrendous. I can't do next weekend though, but can do the weekend after and every second weekend after that.

 

[FrenchTart]

I think I can do weekend of the 4th of July too.

edit: July, not August

Happy to postpone. I think the social side of it would be spoiled a bit if turned out to be crappy. I can do any weekend bar the one around 4th July and 18th July at the moment.

Invariably the weather is better than the BBC reckons but this might be the time they get it right! If anyone is still uber keen to get out then let me know and I don't mind doing a shorter ride, 2 or 3 hours in that weather would be about my limit.

 

[FrenchTart]

I might be up for popping out OMS but reserving the right to be lazy/hungover Shall I drop you a trust in the morning (8:15/30)?

 

[Vonhelmet]

I'm happy to leave it until July.

Yeah drop me a message and we can decide in the morning. I'd be up for a quick spin over the Brickworks/down Tatton way depending on how grim the weather is. (Very grim = No ride, quite grim = Tatton, just a bit grim = Brickworks)

 

[platypus]

Ok happy to postpone, next weekend I can't make, but can do the first weekend of July. Then I'll be back in August.

 

[R0B75]

Yeah, I'm happy to leave it until some actual summer weather decides to appear. I'll probably get out for a ride on Sunday instead now.

That works for me

This route was quite fun if we want to do something flat - gives us the option of going near the brickworks and deciding at the time if it's worth it:

Though a more direct route back from Timperley might be better.

Going to have to bail fully now as our carpet fitting has been moved to tomorrow. I'll drop you my mobile in trust anyway FT, would be good to meet up at some point!
