One of Shires first Ride-Outs
Posibly my first Ride-Out with Shires
I can't remember much about this one as I think it's about 2 years ago, we were obviously at the Cat & Fiddle at some point.
And we were also at Glossop at some point, and notice we also have Greg with us, how cool :)
I no longer own the 954 yellow Blade, Greg doesn't own the BMW anymore, Stuart doesn't own the CBR600 anymore

Shires Trip to LeMann for the MotoGP
Well this was one hell of a ride, 1000 miles roughly round trip, think there was about 10 of us went.
weather was good apart from a little rain on the way.
Camp site was ramed when we arrived but we managed to get a spot keeping us all together Awww.
but that camp site turned into a nightmare at night, every reving the Be-jollies off thier bike till 3am.
Still over all an amazing trip with a lot of walking involved. And can somebody who speaks english please

Shires Ride-Out to MCN North Wales
This was about 340 miles round trip
Setting off from Shires Derby office at around 9am.
Had a breakfast stop at McDs on the A50/Uttoxeter junction, then down the twisties to wales.
Our first destination was the Ponderosa Cafe, we arrived there at 1pm and as can be seen in the photos
it was heaving with bikes, where ever we went in Wales there were bikes going in both directions
Amazing to see, and so many leagal number plates :)
Got to say though only seen a few coppers all day, and one of them was at an accident scene :(
I think this day was enjoyed by all :)

Shires Ride-Out to the peaks. Sunday July 10th 2011
This was about 80 miles round trip,
Starting at McDs Wyvern Derby we headed to Matlock bath via Carsington Water, leaving there taking the back roads to Ashbourn
onto the a 515, turning right then heading for Hartington for a refreshment break.
Leaving there we headed for Buxton but the road was closed so ended up going round some serious bendies to eventually end up back
at Ashbourne for some chips. We the headed over Windy Ridge with a plan to go over towards the Cat n Fiddle but the weather decided
that was not going to happen so after getting soaked back across windy ridge back towards Derby and home.
Warm welcome to a new Trainee on this one
