Too early

 

[tomscott]

Sorry, tbf the meet is quite late anyway we would never get the route finished in time for people to get home otherwise.

[Ste]

Done Adam

Looking like there'll be 15+ zeds there (plus Guiseley's Porsche) so should be good, the more the merrier so any late additions more then welcome!

 

[Ste]

Popey, could always meet us at the Kings Head Thirlmere for lunch. probably be about that time, then do the second half of the meet with us 8)

 

[tomscott]

Come on guys we need some more coupe love on this meet!

 

[Ste]

Will do a printout of these for everyone who's going to keep with them, but I thought I'd post it here too for those who may wish to familiarise themselves with the route/plan for the day.

Bit of info for Ste and Tom i've just heard from a friend that the Jennings River Ride is taking place on the 15th
Just wondering if this might impact on our route - http://www.cumbriafoundation.org/riversride/

From prior experience you need to avoid cycle races like the plague. God knows why they are allowed to race in public roads as they'll cut you up, run lights, overtake each other without looking. They should have to pay for the roads to be closed if they want to time / award prizes for finishers

They're not all idiots, but some seem to get rather over excited and take silly risks to save a second or two.

This could be good depending on time. I'm driving up from blackpool.

Shouldn't take you long Popey, after all you do drive an ///M

Should be ok with the cycle event, looking at it they're starting very early so by the time we get to Keswick (after our stop for lunch at Thirlmere) it'll be late enough that the roads should be cleared. Might be a few stragglers but we'll just have to take it easy either side of Keswick for a few miles, we'll be keeping it nice and safe and sensible through built up areas like Keswick anyways.

I've emailed the organisers of that anyway just to find out what the craic is and compare routes. Cheers for the heads up 8)

 

[Ste]

Spoken to the organisers of the cycle race today and me and tom are looking at a different route now, possibly incorporating Hardknott Pass and Wrynose Pass but sadly missing out Honister etc to avoid the cyclists.

Hope everyone is ok with this.

Hope everyone is ok with this..

It is eminently sensible to avoid the cyclists by re-routing if possible.
Please hurry up though - it will take me at least another 3 days to reprogram my satnav!!

 

[tomscott]

Routes nearly planned covers kirkston, Wrynose and Hardknott.

 

[Swiftly]

Nice one Tom
