Who is up for a ride?

[the100thidiot]

Sooo... anyone up for a ride this weekend? Probably this Saturday, but this is all in the planning stage and open to route ideas, and ofc weather dependant.

Current plan meet at Boxhill 9amish, then off to Brighton via Wessons for some nosh, then back to Newlands. The plan being to try and stick to the a roads as much as possible, as its more fun :p (and very likely we have at least one learner with us).

Anyone interested (or got better ride route suggestions)?

[metalhead19]

If the weathers good im up for that. Only ever managed to find Boxhill once though, get lost every other time :p

[Nick_69]

Sounds gd but I was thinking a bank hoday day ride as most wld have it off work

[tom_d]

I'd like to come for a ride (will have new tyres as well :) ). Have to work at 2pm so likely I'll stick with you until about 12:30ish then head off.

[the100thidiot]

I picked Saturday as the weather report is the best on that day, but I could happily change to the Monday if thats a better day for people?

Meh, just checked the weather and its forecasting rain all weekend :(

Saturday looks fine for most of the day.

[Shorocky]

Sounds great, thanks for organising something :)

To be cheeky though, you don't fancy doing next weekend instead/as well do you? !

I can't make this weekend, but could do the same ride Saturday next weekend if anyone would be up for that?

I can't make this weekend, but could do the same ride Saturday next weekend if anyone would be up for that?

My original idea was to see if anyone was up for a longer ride this weekend as most people will have more free time cos of the bank holiday.

I'm pretty much up for riding anywhere at the weekends (weather/money permitting) so there is nothing stopping us from doing another ride next weekend too :D Maybe somewhere different though... I'll post something here nearer the time to see if your still up for it.

[Shorocky]

Excellent :)

I'm a bit of a newbie, but hopefully wouldn't slow you down too much!

I'll check back next week to see what the plan might be, even if it's just meeting at Newlands then seeing where we might go from there?

[the100thidiot]

I'm a bit of a newbie, but hopefully wouldn't slow you down too much!


I don't think there are many people who would slow me down, unless you ride a scooter, and I'm still on 33bhp, so I'm a newbie too... :)

[metalhead19]

Im on 33 too so no worries about that. Im free saturday and monday so either is good for me

[Nick_69]

Well i cnt make saturday as im working but i can do monday and would be happy to lead if no one eles wants to

[metalhead19]

If the ride does happen on saturday nick, can always do another on the monday. Depending on weather of course.

[Nick_69]

yea we can been looking at some of the rides in the best roads seaction in the GM forum and there are a few times one there or we cld do the one near chippenham

[Turbonutter]

Hi, I'm Nik, the learner coming along for the ride, i just done my theory and haz perception, now just mod 1 & 2 in my way. Then i can ride my 83 Honda CB650 Nighthawk, my baby :D.

But the Yamaha YBR125 is gonna have to do for now, so weather permitting i'll be there and hopefully not bringing up the rear the whole time.

Unfortunately that isnt mine, mine looks a little shabbier :(.

Hi, thats a nice bike, and good luck with the mod 1&2. DW its not about speed, its about fun :D

Sounds good to me (if the weathers good) Chippenham is abit of a trek from here but if its a good ride then why not.

Depending how many people want to ride monday and the experiance level we can decided where we want to ride

[the100thidiot]

So lets meet 9am Boxhill on Monday then.

Sounds like a plan :D

Should maybe meet up somewhere else on Monday (Newlands?), it may be packed, and I won't be riding anywhere till I've had a coffee :D

Metalhead - do you know how to get to Newlands?

[tonyk]

Hiya,
So what's it going to be, saturday and/or monday ?....
if the weather is ok than i'm up for both....:smt109

[metalhead19]

Meeting at Newlands sounds good to me. (I know where it is too :D)
Has there been any new thoughts about route?

[Nick_69]

We could still take the the route towards brigton

[N8te rider]

Hi all. Defo up for a ride saturday. Im currently planning a route. Will post it later today. The main idea is from Boxhill - Newlands - Godalming - Portmouth (via some nice B roads) for some fish and chips :-)

[metalhead19]

The saturday ride sounds good to me. As does the Monday.....so il do both :D

[N8te rider]

Gonna start a new thread for my planned route (hope thats ok)...

[the100thidiot]

So we got 2 rides going on this weekend - sweet :D

Saturday - details TBC, see N8te rider's new thread when it appears.

And Monday - Meeting at Newlands 9am for all those still up for more after Saturday :p. Route still undecided, I suggested Brighton via somewhere to eat, but I liked Nick's idea of seeing who turns up and what the weathers like. If anyone has a favorite route/nearish biking destination - your suggestions are welcome!

I do like your idea of going towards brigton and if we do have any 125ers woth us we can go slow that fine with me for a while and if not we can up the pace a little to the speed of the slowest rider

[metalhead19]

Brighton does sound like a good ride

[BBadger]

9am is abit early ....or is that what were aiming for??

[metalhead19]

I thought that. But does give the whole day to ride :D

[metalmonkey]

No thoughts for 10am?

[metalhead19]

Haha, 10 sounds much more reasonable

[BBadger]

if we meet at 9 what time are we looking to leave as i could do with serious tea and food at that time.

[Nick_69]

10 sounds much nicer to be as that will b my only lay in this week

[the100thidiot]

Haha, 10 sounds much more reasonable

Lol ok, lets meet up at 10am then :rolleyes:

Looking to leave as soon as everyone is ready to go and sorted themselves out, be it food/coffee/loo/fag. Should be gone by 10:30

[metalhead19]

Sounds good to me.
Attendance list time?

We will try and park together and lurk near the bikes so we should be easy to spot.

[rictus01]

meeting a friend at 11 down that way, might pop down a bit early and say Hi.

[tonyk]

Janna,
pick a spot for us to meet....
ie on your left as soon as you come in to the car park.:grouphug:

Sorry, I guess this got buried in the spam... I changed the meeting point to Newlands as I thought Boxhill would be busy.

Plus Metalhead doesn't know where Boxhill is ;)

So plan is:

Meet at Newlands at 10am - chill for coffee/chat and aim to be off to Brighton via Horsham by 10:30 latest, chill at Brighton for food, then back. Route back depends if people want the quicker route or the slower scenic route.
