2017 Chippy Run

[smokinsimmo]

For the 2017 Friday Chippy Rideout 

 I offer a choice of a direct route to Ashbourne via narrow roads (with grass in the middle, approx. 18 miles).

Or a route similar to the 2015 Chippy Rideout  (through the old Manifold Railway tunnel, this time avoiding the ford where Phil nearly came a cropper in 2015), of approx. 40 miles.

You choose.

2nd option for me

Manifold valley, now that brings some memories back.Used to go there when i dated a girl from Onecote (early 70`s-the year not the girl!). Used to blast through the tunnel on the yds3. what a noise.recall entering the tunnel once with dark visor down-scary moment-never again.

Tunnel for Me

[Yammy 38]

Tibsy - you reminded me!  I had a YDS3 and used to open throttle wide in all the tunnels and it used to howl. Brilliant noise.  Always done it in the Alyesbury bus tunnel - everyone jumped and looked.  Fantastic memories.

used to do that on the ducati with termi's on full song!!!

[smokinsimmo]

I have a new route to the "Tunnel", and a new return route  to Rally site.  Full tanks please.

If we are going through the tunnel then spannies will sound great

Tunnel ride this year Ken, starting 6 pm.  Should be at Ashbourne around 7:20 pm for chips. 

[nsrnick]

Ken, are you leaving the rally at 6?  Any chance you can wait til 6.30?

[smokinsimmo]

Sorry Ken, Chippy rideout  returns to the Rally site about 8pm, ready for the evenings band, so 6.30pm start not an option.

Route should bring us to Hartington around 6:40? Ashbourne before 7:00 and chips Ken.
