Rideout Sunday 17th July Ride out via oil can cafe via Yorkshire/Derbyshire boarder

Think it's about time we had a ride out because we can!! Any one fancy a play on Sunday 17th July?
Meet up at the 'Oil can cafe' at Jackson bridge HD91AF Holmfirth West Yorkshire. It's a bit of a museum/workshop/cafe with automobilia every where.

Meet at 11am and enjoy one of the most mouth watering breakfasts money can buy then ride out possibly towards Holme moss (the summit used in the tour de Yorkshire)

then Glossop then over to Bakewell in the High peaks. All subject to the obvious!! I'll be on my modern Bonneville btw. Eric

 

Could be tempted, but SWMBO is having a 'lumpectomy' on Tuesday, so I may be doing my carer bit! Could be a long haul! Shit happens!

 

Hope all goes well goolie!

 

Best wishes to all Steve, hope all goes well.

Tig, 17th is a Friday and Sunday is a 19th.. Sorry can't make that, cos we will be there lunchtime Wed 22nd on our way to Welsh Wales for 4 days. Great pics, thanx fer posting.

 

The very best of luck to Mrs Goolie and you matey - not the easiest of times.

 

I can't make it cos I have to wor.....wwo......wowo....
I have to do something else!

 

That sounds like a good day out, unfortunately I'm still on weekends at work. Bugger

 

Your right about Sunday being 19th whoops. Eric

 

Would that be wo wor work by any chance?

 

AAARgh!!you said it!! Moderator delete this mans post!!

 

Ooops! Didn't mean to partially hi-jack this thread! My apologies!

But thanks for the good wishes, it is much appreciated!

 

Hi-jack?? Gets done all the time

 

not a good day that for mr grandchildren to look after once a fortnight thing looking at saxilby

 

Any more interest before the morning as it seems bad timing for most?

 

It's a bit of a way to come tbh Eric

 

I'd be up for another time definitely, just got to take swmbo out today as part of the me getting a new bike deal!

If you looking to do it again let me know.

Cheers,

Tony

 

Well, as there was no takers this morning me and the wifey went wine tasting and vineyard tour instead in Holmfirth (last of the summer wine) territory and it went ............

 

Nice one!! Every cloud has a silver lining!!

I would never have associated Holmfirth with wine production! 'Tis strange the things that are virtually on your doorstep, but about which you know nothing!! To make matters worse, the Holmfirth area is my ancestral home, on my father's side!

 

Thats very interesting Steve, its a small world as they say. Back to the wine now, its only a recent thing over here as it was started in 2008 and its also the highest vineyard above sea level in the uk. I'm not a wine connoisseur although the wine was truly pukka and needs to be on the radar.

 

Hi Eric, I'd like to look into this vineyard a bit more - do you have some details so I can find them on the 'net.

I quite like the idea of drinking Yorkshire rouge - with some good, old Cheddar.
