New Year's
Eve
What do bikers do when
snow and ice is on the ground?
Cook and clean of course!
Over breakfast on a recent
breakfast run Mike shared his
shirt ironing technique,
having been trained by a professional, as follows -
first iron the collar then the shoulders followed by the
the body and lastly the sleeves. Whatever happened to
sex, drugs and rock n roll?

Breakfast Run
An hour delay to allow the
roads to defrost made for a later start than intended
for the first NWB run of 2010. A full English breakfast
in Skipton helped to warm the small group of riders
before the ride home.

NWB Christmas Meal 2009
The venue, food and
service were first class for the northwestbiking
Christmas meal, in fact the chef and staff received an
ovation for the excellent evening from all the diners.
And what an evening it
was...out of bike gear and scrubbed up introductions
were necessary to reacquaint everyone with each other.

Memorial Day Breakfast Run
The rainy start did not deter the 8 riders gathered at
Springwood. The forecast said a dry day, it may be
later. The Lancashire Lanes on the way to Slaidburn were
covered in wet leaves, gravel and cow muck and hedged
with dry stone walls, a good test of riding skills. Tony
and Sandra were the furthest travelled having come over
from New Zealand, only securing insurance the day before
for Dad's FJR 1300.
Timing was crucial as we
had to fit in the ride and breakfast before the memorial
service in Slaidburn. Andy managed to pick up a nail in
his back tyre so rescue was called. Some went on to
Carnforth station for lunch, some went home and a few
stayed back with Andy to relax in the afternoon sunshine
and await recovery.

stop me"

C2C Run
Saturday was raining with
high winds, not looking good for Sundays 450mile coast
to coast run. At 6.30 on Sunday morning the weather was
cold but dry for the first leg to the start point at St
Bees in Cumbria and our breakfast stop. By the time dawn
broke we were riding under clear blue skies, and so it
continued throughout the day.
With the sun on our backs
keeping us warm we made our way from the West coast to
Robin Hoods Bay on the East coast to deposit the the
pebble collected from St Bees beach. The tide was in at
Robin Hoods Bay so we couldn't get to the beach,
although some did get a good soaking trying. After tea
and cakes it was the final leg back home via a dusk ride
over a twisty B road to add to the excitement. Everyone
had an excellent day long ride and most enjoyable time.

Road To Nowhere Run
Road to Nowhere Run
renamed to land sea and air, as we did the ferry to
Hawkshead, and managed to get airborne in the lakes
also. The first stop was breakfast at the Red Rooster at
11.30 then off towards the Tan Hill but ended up a
couple of miles from Bishop Auckland - you know what
Mick's like!
We got to the Tan Hill for 3.30pm only to discover that
they stop serving food at 3.00pm, they restart serving
at 7.00pm so we stopped for a drink then carried onto
the chippy at Hawes. We had fish & chips followed by a
walk to the Spar in Hawes for some much needed Rennies
only to find we were 1/2 hour late for that being open
also (its now 9.45 and four spoons of Gaviscon later am
still suffering).
