FNRttC Manchester to Morecambe June 8th

[ianrauk]

Indeed.... here's hoping the FNRttC Gods help the ride run dry, fast and true tonight.

Its stopped raining! Enjoy.

Still raining here.
Setting off in 45 minutes.

ETA: I'm reminded of rule 9:-

Rule #9
If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.


I'm not sure about badass but maybe naughty bottom ?

It's not raining here, bonne route.

Wet wet wet wet wet.

We are at the wonderful and very friendly Potters Barn in Ribchester, which is as close to heaven as you could hope for.

It's been character building, and I predict this ride will go down in legend.

Reading these last couple of pages of posts is nothing like being there. At all.

But good, nonetheless.

Inside the very welcoming Welcome Cafe.

We've been to see Eric, of course.

True. There's always a chance of perverse naming. I once went into the Best Cafe. Unwise.

But in this case, concerned we were lost, the whole staff locked up and came down to the prom to wave at Simon

I forgot all about this ride until earlier in the week! Hope you all had a good time and can get dry soon!

I'm home and I'm about to go to the bathroom to drain my socks...

 

[mcshroom]

I'm home - after the wedding as well. Sock ringing and drying can wait until I've had some sle...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[clarion]

Well done! And thanks for helping me get to Lancaster station.

Just don't forget the concert!

Forget all of that, we ARE badass. Fullstop.

As my babbage engine got temporarily upset by overhydration, I don't have the right numbers for the ride. Can anyone supply me with the distance (km preferred) from Piccadilly to the Welcome? And the ride time?

Thanks.

 

[CharlieB]

My gps made it 104.5. Moving time I've as 5:56:29.
More later, when I've done a hard reset to my systems.

 

[clarion]

Thanks. That means I lost about 8km, which is pleasing, because it makes an imperial century for the full round trip.
