Now then. Assuming you have the app downloaded and it?s linked in via Bluetooth to the bike open up the app and hit the second icon on the bottom of the screen which shows a folded map. Then in the search bar at the top of the page type where you want to go and this will give you a number of addresses. I have used it once when I picked up the bike but not since as I found my Bluetooth not really connecting. Just tried it again and it works fine. Hope this helps.

Weather looking a bit pants for Sunday at the moment, hope it changes as there?s still time.

 

[HertsTif]

Yeah

Not sure I could handle a 5 hour round trip in the peeing rain

 

[soofsayer]

I rode through the derbyshire dales on my bike last week in the rain. No fun.

I noticed quite a lot of diesel and/or oil on the roads, maybe partly because of the mot extension?

If the weather is not good we could reschedule for September. The weather then is often better then it is now, just with shorter evenings.

I've been riding the borders, lakes and Pennines this week and when we've hit rain, the roads were more slippery than usual. Loads of gravel about too

I was at the Derbyshire Dales on the weekend, awesome roads around there, especially near Carsington Waters.

ive booked the day off work have a rr loan bike if mine is not fixed in time the weather can be changeable depending on area we are in Buxton has its own climate, but hopefully it will stay dry on the day.

once we meet up the route takes on some great roads and the afternoon will include the road past carsington to ashbourne. if there are specific roads we like from the morning we can get back on them using some other good roads.

If its going to be raining substantially then I will not attend on my bike, the power rs tyres are not suited to spirited riding in the wet. Out of those attending what?s the consensus on weather/postpone/decide by..?

 

[Schuey]

If would say let?s make a final decision on Saturday, if the weather forecast is pants for Sunday then we postpone?

 

[Valhalla64]

Sounds like a plan. Count me in.

Yeah, don't fancy it if it's pissing down. My Raceteks aren't great in the wet either. And after all, we want to meet for fun, not to emulate some kind of Japanese endurance game show

Well, today the weather report is better for Sunday, showing light cloud with outbreaks of sunshine, around 25% risk of rain.

 

[soofsayer]

Ok guys we need to make a call on this, and where and when to meet up?

 

[Schuey]

Morning Soof, weather looks ok for tomorrow, fingers crossed. I?ve never been up to the peaks on the bike, but I know how to get up to Carsington Water. We can meet there or I can put a different location into the Sat Nav. Happy either way and just need a time. Will take me a couple of hours to get to you guys I reckon.
