Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - TonyDevil - 07-12-2010
does anyone want a UK based RTT meet up?
for the die hards or those that cant make the MT11 in Germany?
or are you happy to stick with the MT11 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]
what say you gentlefolk of carpe
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - TDMick - 07-12-2010
Sounds like a plan
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - catsbum - 07-12-2010
I'm in.
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - peterkelly - 08-12-2010
Sounds good to me
Being in UK could allow people to make it a short or longer break to suit time available as it will be additional to MT11 for some.
Somewhere central like "peak - dales - lakes - wales" is frequent venue for rideouts, but could possily be joined to form a few days break??
The advantage is a vast amount of local information to costruct crackinq sequence of rides (eg Hartsides knowledge of dales/lakes etc)
maybe tie in a major event /venue as well?
Pete
alternative is to come to the TT......................

This sounds more affordable for me.

My cakes travel better between local shores and for that reason ...... i'm in [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

Is this immediately before the germany trip? If so, could work it in with the big trip.
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - Studley Ramrod - 08-12-2010
Yup, I'm in [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
Quite fancy Devon, Cornwall or Wales although I realise they aren't exactly in the centre of the Carpedians universe.
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - Matt686 - 08-12-2010
North or Mid Wales would be good. Bala, Lake Vyrnwy and all around that area is good.

Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - TonyDevil - 08-12-2010
ok, seems like theres enough interested [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
i guess it should be back to the usual dates in early july, normally a week or so before teh skools break up
so what do you want? a week? long weekend? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]
how aboots t'yorkshire dales? wonder if frog boy/BD or socket/angie would be interested in organising?
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - ChrisG - 08-12-2010
With 9 days for the MT11 (assuming I can get the time off) I might be struggling for leave, especially over the summer, so a long weekend would work best for me.
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - Matlock - 08-12-2010
To go on the MT11, I had to agree with SWMBO I wouldn't go on any more Carpe G2Gs in 2011 that involved a night away [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] (although I'm hoping she's forgotten this deal by the time the September G2G comes around [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/groucho.gif[/img] ). So unless you want to hold RTT11 on Merseyside, I'm out.

Beer, cake, digs/camping, ho's etc. generally all cheaper, roads less congested & fewer tax cameras too - just a few reasons why folks like it here.

I recently spent a biking weekend based around Llandridnod Wells. The roads were brilliant,and buggerall traffic. This would be fairly central for almost all.
Do we have any Carpedian sheep molesters from around these parts who could organise something?
Rtt11 - Uk Based Meet? - andysymmons - 08-12-2010
Long weekend would be more doable for me i like the sound of Wales............................. not the high pitched singing............. and i dont mean Charlotte Church but i've never been there before Wales that is not Charlotte although i have been with some whales but thats another story.........
Shall i shut up now...

less traffic, more space, less scameras and to us up north is beyond Leeds [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
when in geographic terms its actually pretty central for the UK members (its the same distance from Edinbugger and Londinium)
its easy enough for the Irish boyos to get to the pool and Hull is close by for our mainland friends [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
