E.goldstein 0 Posted December 30, 2010 Well after weeks of bad weather it’s looking like this Sunday could be a bright dry but cold day, would anyone be interested in getting out for a few hours pottering round Rutland/ Leicestershire?If you’re interested, I do have a nice easy run it’s about 65 miles with a stop for coffee, I was thinking of setting off if the snow / sleet, fog and rain holds off from the Asda petrol station at Fosse Park at say 10:30am.Route:Fosse Park, A6 Oadby, Stoughton, Houghton on the Hill, Tilton on the Hill, Braunston, Empingham, Edith Weston, Oakham, Round Rutland Water, Uppingham, “Coffee”, Knob Hill Road “yes it is a place”, Kibworth Harcourt and HomeE.Goldstein “They are watching you” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smilinjack 0 Posted January 1, 2011 I'm out, can't really afford the fuel let alone anything else. I did promise to look at this ZZR so that's what I'll do. Sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.goldstein 0 Posted January 1, 2011 Hopefully you have all recovered from the hedonistic indulgences of last night!To be honest I was being a bit optimistic with the weather however; if it’s looking dry I think I’ll be going out for a bit, if I sit in front of the TV much longer I’ll never be able to leave the settee again!So if you do get a rush of blood to the head feel free to pitch up at Fosse Park.E.Goldstein “They are watching you” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E.goldstein 0 Posted January 3, 2011 We did go but only up to Uppingham for a Coffee however; I got a text saying that some of the lads we went to Spain with 2010, were going to brave the Brass Monkey run at Coalville, so I dropped my partner at home and went up to the Vic at Coalville.Oh My Gosh I was cold by the time I got up to the Vic, even with the heated grips on full. Still a coffee and a stand round the fire helped a bit; then out on the potter round with about 150 bikes back for hot soup then back home for about 4pm.The bird bath in the back garden was still frozen when I put the bike in the workshop at 4pm! Still one day off the sofa in 11 not bad E.Goldstein “They are watching you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
