So could I, but I'll settle for a few hours on the bike. Don't forget about Itchy and Blade.

I've told the Missus that we're meeting at 9am so I can get some breakfast in first. If you get there early I'll be round the corner in the cafe next door to the Natwest (Terrace Road). It's got a big red illy sign above the door.

9am (shocked)

Is the aim to leave the meeting point at 10.30?

I can't get there for 9. Hopefully I'll be there just before 10.

Take your time getting here, I just fancy a nice relaxing fry up and maybe a read of bike mag. I don't get out on my own much.

What I meant was if you do get here early that's where I'll be

I'm going out regardless. I could do with a decent ride.
I'm still coming, so it's a definite 3-way!

No but I do have a video of him running naked around Wiltshire if your interested. It's a bit shakey and the quality isn't great but I was hanging out the window of the car that was chasing him at the time.

If its alright with you, Monty, i think i will decline your kind offer on viewing your collection of naked videos of Cornish. :D

The weather looks piss poor for tomorrow. It's going to rain all day. Sunday looks better as does Monday http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2654141?day=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/buxton ... 87?hour=33" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but I'm conscious that Monday will be busy

I'm free all weekend if anyone wants to swap the day.

If we still want to meet up tomorrow I am happy to do so but it won't be a long day out on the bike.

Thoughts?

I'm at Splash Landings on Sunday (Ironic) and sanding bedroom floors on Monday.

Looking pretty miserable but I'll chance it as it's only 60 seconds for me. Total understand if you guys don't make it, long way to ride for a bacon sandwich and a slapper chat.

I will skip tomorrow not just the weather but really struggling more than I expected coming off nightshift. Had 5 hours of disturbed on and off sleep in the last 48 hours and feel like a zombie. Just drove car to dentist and didn't feel I was safe tbh so no way up to riding a Sportsbike. I will check with er indoors later but Monday might be a possible for me if others are playing out.

I cant' find a decent weather forecast for tomorrow. It's too far for me to ride in the rain.

Sorry but I'll pull it.

I'm pee'd off as this is the 4th rideout this year I've called off due to poor weather.

I can make Sunday if you still want to. I've been told it'd be nice if I was there but it won't ruin the week.
Which I'm taking as a positive, however she meant it!

Still up for it if you are, Kwackers.
