As the people who went on last years ride enjoyed it and asked about another, (and also for those who missed it).
Who is up for another learner ride out ? Similar sort of route and B&B in Bridlington on the Saturday night.
For those a bit further away who couldn't go last time round, I was thinking of arranging ride throughs with possible camping/crashing/ B&B in Huddersfield area on the Friday night (and also to check out any live bands that are usually on Friday nights at The Bridge Inn)
This event is really aimed at those on learner bikes, or those who have recently passed their test and are looking for a bit of experience but can feel intimidated by bigger bikes and more experienced riders.
No date set yet, but was thinking around end of April, but mainly looking at one weekend in May ?
Remember that the *Bridge pub is a pokey place and probably wouldn't hold a load of folk, especially when there's a band on too.
*formerly The Dot Commer Bar
Doesn't the **Lockwood have live rock bands on anymore?

and if you want a cafe that serves good food, well it did a few years ago, there's the Scar Cafe next door to the Lockwood

Will post details of B&Bs up and will check if we can get a group discount like last time.
If there are alot of people interested but are riding larger bikes then maybe we can set up two groups and meet up in Bridlington in the evening ?
Will need 2 or 3 big bikes to accompany the smaller bikes, but will keep the number of those bigger bikes low otherwise it kinda defeats the object.
Route to Bridlington is quite varied, but nothing really that will catch you out - some twisty A roads, Dual Carriageway (A64 near York) and good scenery - everyone who went last time enjoyed the run out (and back in again).
Some people missed out last time due to being a bit far from Huddersfield - But if you want to go this time - we can arrange a ride in on the Friday and sort something out for you on the Friday night (crashing at friends houses or camping B&B etc)
and the same again - if needed on the Sunday night back home (or Monday if you are knackered on the Sunday night)
cheers Sandi
Could have made it Whitby, but there are quite a few roads around North Yorks that are infamous for catching people out and them having accidents -
one of the reasons we chose Bridlington is its a good ride there and back, with decent scenery, a good mix of dual carriageway and A roads to help with speed confidence, bit of twistys.
(And as people will attest to who went last year - good for staying over and having beers too)
Theres a few people going on this now - but via facebook events rather than BM event signup, so if you are thinking about it then feel free to ask for info on this thread or drop me a pm
