Right just dropped bike off for her MOT, firstly it was the first time I have ridden in nearly a year i must admit i sh1t myself and felt like it was gonna take my f ing head off again! It was like a new bike again I forgot how well she goes lol. Secondly my leg was a little uncomfortable still, the ride out is still 2 weeks away so things may change but I may just see if I can get to loomies and meet there then head home again. I may consider coming the rest of the way but I would prob just slow you guys down as at the mo adjusting for corners is a bit difficult. Anyway we will see how things go Glad to of finally got back on the saddle though!
I'm looking to meeting up with you lot. as I said I'm going down to poole to meet up at the pub. Anyone fancy meeting on the way just give me a shout
I'm going to meet at Loomies, then ride with you guys to Poole (as long as I can keep up) Will probably ride up to Swindon with you all too (depending how the time is getting on)
M25!?!?!? how dare you V - we / I will be coming on A25 via oakdene so any that want to meet me there before i head to boxhill to pick you up (in the gents) and head down let me know!
Just noticed that the H-caf doesn't open until 9am on a sunday and closes at 5pm so we won't get brews & Bacon there, DOH!, but plenty of other places for brews and butties on route. 0800-0830 At the H-cafe 1030-1100 at Loomies for Brew 1300-1400 at 'the lord nelson' pub in Poole for lunch and meeting South West lads. 1630-1700 Brew at Blade Honda / motorcycle mega store in Swindon 1800 Back to H-Cafe for a final brew and end point. These are estimated timings and will obviously be subject to change but I've left some spare time to get lost or wait for rain to F-off! Someone mentioned doing the wantage to newbury road, I have now researched this road and it put a big smile on my face so pt 1 of the route in a bit more detail will be: H-Cafe to Abingdon to Frilford on the A415 Frilford to Wantage to Hungerford on the A338 Hungerford to Newbury on the A4 Newbury to Basingstoke to Alton on the A339 Alton to Loomies on the A31 then A32. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?sadd...RNjl0SDFRleeFIYxxKA&oq=Loomies&mra=ls&t=m&z=9 I know this route well enough and am happy to lead it but does anyone know a good route to Poole and can lead that section?
Worth having another thread with details of each meeting place for members to add there names to where they are going to meet? IE : 0800-0830 At the H-cafe 1030-1100 at Loomies for Brew 1300-1400 at 'the lord nelson' pub in Poole for lunch and meeting South West lads. RemaL 1630-1700 Brew at Blade Honda / motorcycle mega store in Swindon 1800 Back to H-Cafe for a final brew and end point.
