View Full Version : Pseudo spontaneous ride-out Thursday Evening July 31.
Largely disorganised shambles of a ride on offer for anyone who fancies joining me on Thursday 31st.
Important bits.
Start Fleet 19:00 (ish)
End Fleet 21:00 (ish probably a bit later given previous experiences)
Bit in the middle - :riding: Wiggly bits south of Fleet mostly with a fuel stop en-route for those with thirsty bikes.
Sort of ride - Spirited but not mental. Quite technical. Nothing Scary unless you're scared of oil-seed rape fields or rabbits.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll flesh out the details like where to meet and route summary. If no or few takers then I'll not bother doing the leg-work.
All welcome

Not sure. I hate those tiny little gravelly backroads. I like fast technical roads like the 339 to basingstoke. Lots of sweepers, woooo!
A339's not technical it's well and truly blatable. It's bound to include a bit of A339 but the basingstoke end, not the really fast sweepy bits from Lasham to Alton. There again route is still TDB so you never know. It will however include some gravelly bits I'm sure given the recent flooding. Just have to demonstrate a touch of restraint at times and make up for lost time on the other bits.

Hmm, but I don't like them!
How are you supposed to drag your knee on 90 degree, gavel ridden bends? :p
I may be up for this though. ;)

Carefully.
OK folks anyone coming. If it's tipping it down then it'll be cancelled and changed to "who fancies a beer in the Oatsheaf"

Yep, if it's not raining. :cool:
Aye sounds good, ill be last minute.com if anything
I'm playing a gig in Fleet tomorrow night so I wont be able to make it. But if you fancy popping into Propaganda on the high street after you've finished or if its raining we start at 8.45 and go on til 11 ish.
Just got home. Sunny Evening. Wife and kids camping. Bonus Extra Wednesday ride now on the cards just in case it's raining Thursday. Anyone up for a super-late notice quicky? Meet Ely Half seven. If no one there I recognise I'll just ride straight past. Probably be totally non-original and goto Alton.
