[dancetothedrummersbeat]

[spyderpit13]

defo for me. 

[LENNY-LENTINI]

To be honest Brothers

I know some people who go to the football in Nottm with the sole intention of causing malarky.

But with people that also want malarky, if you know what i mean.

The last people that they want it with is normal civillians or 'bobble hats'.

I have been out with the missus on Sat night in Leeds on big match days and never had any trouble (even when we walked into Henry's in the middle of an obvious 'Boys' gathering).

I never go into Nottm on a Sat night with just the missus no matter what.

As long as we're not wearing Stoney, Aquascutum or the usual favourites I think we'll be cool.

Meet in the square oppo the Train station Tho'.

Keep the Faith.L

[Darren KAP]

  Great idea to meet in the square oppersite the station we won't get no shit over there from the boys in blue 

[Badbaldie]

Cheers Lenny-lentini and Kappy    as per your local advice probably best to meet in the square opposite the train station   can't be hard to find   have either of you got a pic of said square ? just to make it crystal clear were all these radsters need to head to

Out the station front doors, turn left and it will be 100 yards in front of you.  Full of idiots on kids bikes

I have been on the phone to Diesel1 tonight. After his rideout last year, he says there is zero chance of us getting in any of the pubs in Leeds centre (only one pub let us in last year and it still caused a lot of hassle). He has suggested a route if anyone fancies it. Its been mentioned, and he agrees, that it will be best to meet somewhere just outside the station, due to the huge amount of police in the station on match day.

5 mins from the station on the outskirts of Leeds centre, is a pub called the dry dock, its an old boat made into a pub. They were fine for 30 odd bikes on the top deck bit of the boat, and happily gave us drink and did us meals. Another 10 mins from there north of the centre, (passing a skatepark on the way) is a pub called the original oak, this has a huge outdoor area, and another pub that will be fine with a big group on bikes. From there he suggested riding down towards kirkstall abbey, more pubs round there with big outdoor areas. From there, its easy to pick up the canal path, and he knows of a few more pubs round there with big outdoor seating areas that will accept bikes.

ok to make things easier for all the guys who dont know Leeds how about meeting in the square then as a group ridding down to the "dry dock" ?

Sounds like a good route, I've just this minute pm'd diesel.  Keeps us well away from the football crowds if anyone is worrying, but be prepared to work up a thirst  

[rooski]

Dry dock is straight up from the square,past the town hall towards the uni,its all uphill but not too bad

If the route goes back down to Kirkstall road,its flat all the way back to town

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

I love it when a plan comes together 

[johnny72]

Put me down matey

[stevepeanut]

going past Leeds town hall provides a great photo opportunity, lets see if we can beat the number of bikes from Diesels Leeds ride

[Glynnyboy]

.i spoke to Glynnyboy at the start of all this as hed been involved with the Leeds ride last time,

I only attended mate.
I know with been unable to get in certain pubs Simon ended up having to play it a little off the cough so to speak but everything worked out fine and the ride was a great success.
Obviously sticking close to the same should work out fine again. It also steers you away from any potential agro which is a big plus.
The footy shouldn't be a problem.
Roll on a Sunny March the 2nd.  (as i said though be prepared for the snow though too  )

[willo73]

I'm up for this one, please pop me on the list
