Warning!

A rideout took place today within GM. More than 1 person attended and there were bikes involved.

Good to meet you Keith. Fantastic wee bendy roads. Didnt like the gravel road. Keith's immobiliser didnt like the horses. Local dogs loved us. Cake was great (again thanx Keith). And I got home without getting lost in time for lunch.

Route? you will need to ask Keith. Will hunt out those roads again. They were like the Scottish roads I miss but with sunshine. Hardly any other vehicles on the road - great fun

It wasn't a proper GM rideout - I'm a Soho bod most of the time.

But perfect weather and lots of quiet little lanes which made for a very pleasant morning. The route went:

Aldershot ->Ewshot, then fork left onto the little lanes...

...-> Crondall -> Odiham -> South Warnborough -> Upton Grey -> Tunworth -> Junction where A339 crosses M3 -> B3046 all the way to New Alresford.


Quite a lot of the little lanes had gravel down the middle and in one left-hander it spilled right across the road. This could easily have dumped a more spirited rider in the hedge but us slow folks had plenty of time to hit the brakes and dawdle through at walking speed. :-)

Kitkat was fine, and her noisy bike worked a treat. The only bike problem was when my immobiliser decided to lock the bike down after I switched off for a couple of kids on ponies to pass. Eventually tracked down to a flakey connection on the Keyloq reader which I'll be taking apart tonight.

Keith.

P.S. If anyone wants a detailed route listing PM me.

when you next going down there ?

[kitkat]

i may try it again next weekend

[tonyk]

I might do it on saturday, poping into loomies on the way.
sunday i'll be doing Ride it Right (Haslemere Fire Station 20/9/09.):smt104

If your up for an afternoon ride at the weekend I would defiantly be in, work all morning which is why I never get out on the weekend!

Oh and those roads are good! Should try going from Odiham to Alton then on to Basingstoke, and if your feeling adventurous, head through to reading to Henley on Thames area, all good roads!
