Make a decision on the day

Sunny day............184 miles

Cold and wet.........18.4 miles

Terrible weather......1.84 miles

sh1t weather............Pub
:D :D :D

Sounds good to me :D
The weather looks a bit hit and miss but those Dales seem to have their own weather pattern anyway from what I recall.
I'd hate to be sat on my butt playing cards when there might be sunshine over the next vally :D

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

just like Scotland over again Chris :D - But given that I haven't been on the Firestorm since the Cadwell trackday last year, I will be fairly rusty. So you might have an easy win ...... hence my offer to backmark :lol:

and all my riding since then has been on go kart tracks on a 160cc pitbike, so I will be in uncharted territory when I go above 70mph 8O . and I am used to slicks and wets so need to recalibrate to sport touring tyres

Typical, the pair of you. Trying to pull the wool over our eyes before you disappear into the distance. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

The trip to the ring reinforced how old and slow I've become. You're going very grey Al, better make the most of it while you can. Grandad reading the Daily Mail on a sunday morning is just over the horizon.

It's his fault, I used to be a steady rider before I met Al and had to ride like the clappers to keep up :-)
