Ride out events for March 2009.
Greetings Rider,
I tend to do a lot of shorter come medium distance rides and riders are welcome to join me on the ride or meet up at the final destination. I will be posting the rides that I am doing each month and riders are welcome to join me if they wish.
This month I will be taking in 4 National Parks as part of a charity rally that I am in but that does not mean that riders that wish to go need to be in this rally also.
You are very welcome to come along for the sheer ride and or photographic opportunities of outstanding natural beauty that our country has to offer. If you do wish to join the Rally then details can be found here: http://www.thegrimrider.com/index.php?p=1_24_BNPR-Details So if you are looking for an excuse or some motivation to get on your bike you now have all that you need.
If you have not met me before and are going on the ride you can identify me as follows: 6’2” head shaved to the bone, big smile (as I will be on my motorbike), black and silver textile jacket with ride pins down the middle, answers to James and Oye you! Bike - Silver and black Honda Varadero - Givi back box with Blue Knight Stickers. Contact - Mobile number - 07858129278 __________________________________________________________________________________ Ride 1 - Tuesday 3rd March

UKIBA National meeting - Have an interest in long distance riding? Then in my opinion those are the people you need to be speaking to.
You can find there site here - http://www.ironbuttuk.org/index.html
Introduce yourself to the team and be made to feel welcome. If after an introduction and chat to the team (there is NO charge for this meeting nor is this a club you can just join or will be pressured to join) you are welcome to join me on the ride down and further details will be on the UKIBA forum of when and where I am going to. _____________________________________________________________________ Ride 4 - Tuesday 17th March

I work a 12 rotation shift so at times my time off is not best suited to all. Hope to see you on the roads, ride safe James691 | |

Hey there!
Yes indeed! I have been rather hectic with work and with Lola needing a 8000m service and back tyre this month I have been both busy and strapped out. The BBG2500 was also not cheap to sort out but fantastic fun!
I will be posting my new rides for June soon. I also have some European rides coming up. I hope to get a ride out done for the end of May.
I will be sending a mail blast to members when I get the rides up. I trust all has been going well for you and hope to see you on the roads soon.

Busy at my end also - managed to complete the peak district visit on a wet and windy day last week. Now the plan is to complete 4/5 more this summer, as time allows | |
