The Manchester Honda
Owners Club 2013
A cold Ad-
Possibly the last nice day of 2013 -
We all agreed to meet up at the McDonalds at Hyde. By the time we were ready to go,
there were 7 bikes and 2 pillions. Not bad for a late December. But before we could
go, there was the wiring to do -
Over hills and down dales; the roads were fine and the traffic light. I did keep
a lookout for bad weather but blue skies were the order of the day, so no issues
there. We went over Snake Pass and then left over some nice (and not so nice) back
roads to pick up the A616 before heading off to Holmfirth. Just the other side, the
cry came over the radio “Paul needs petrol”. Oh Great!. But as we went through Meltham,
there was a Morrisons, so we all pulled in and waited for the thirsty Blackbird to
be refuelled. And off we went again -
After about 10 minutes, Paul set off again and we did the last (cold) 5 miles to
the pub. Straight in and ordered food. Which should have been good. But I think they
forgot me (and the other Paul) and it took about 40 minutes to serve us our underdone
meals. So, I can’t recommend the Great Western Inn for food -
The last part was a quick zoom over the hills and back home. Bike was washed and put away and at last, I was warm.
Thanks to Paul & Julie, Geoff & Lyn, Phil, Paul, Mark and Keith for joining me on a great days ride.
See you for 2014 rides.
