Last of the summer wine *Update*

[falc]

Ok guys, here are two of the routes, the first was the mega rideout but that is a bit too big, the route was about 230 miles and untested as yet. The second should be a good blast and is about 130 miles in total.

So the route is as follows...

Meet up at the Ely and head off down the B3349 (the route Dan had) and then when at Alton down the A31 till we hit the A272. Ive been on bits of the A272 and found it quite good so we will follow the majority of this road.

At cowfield take the A24 towards London and ride all the way up to Dorking and Boxhill. From here people can either make their way back home or keep going back to guildford and even take in the Pirbright twisties.

As in terms of stops im not too fussed where, there is a few pubs like the White Horse along the A272 and of course Boxhill.

Dates for this is really up to you lot. Gmonsta has a little run planned on this Sunday and wouldn't want to spoil it so possibly roll over to next weekend.

Oh and thought i'd change the name to something catchy.

Any day probably for me, prefer it to be a Sunday when roads are less busy. Problem is the weather is getting less predictable so I reckon when the forecast is good we should just go for it.

[falc]

Yup thats what I was thinking, in which case we could aim for this weekend if its crap weather roll over to next weekend?

[walnuts]

I agree - we should grab the first opportunity of dry weather. Hence I haven't voted.

I think getting going early is a good idea, nothing too mad but 9ish is good.

Excellent idea Falc, definitely up for this.

[JonToms]

This sunday would be cool :shock:

[dirtydog]

[Viney]

This weekend i will be finding a route for the END of Season ride on the 29th :D

[Stu]

[Tara]

Very little rain forecast for the 14th & 15th, so taking in to account all the above can we try for then?

Sunday for Traffic or Saturday for first opportunity/put it back a day for weather nearer the time?

[Law]

Ok, not much point in organising a rideout for this weekend if lots of people can't go. Shame cos it says sunny in Guilford on Sunday. We'll roll it on to the weekend after. Sunday 15th anyone?

[Tara]

i've voted for the 22 but I can do any weekend apart from the 8th but then again my vote don't matter as i won't be riding

[falc]

Im gonna check out the rideout route sometime soon but whatever suits ppl the most we should go for.

[Stu]

Now now play nice, :lol: just so long as you're coming and all that.

[Tara]

i am playing nice - its true i shall be sat on the back and do as I'm told :shock: maybe :wink:

Probably can't do that weekend. I might be driving my mum up to Peterborough on the 21st and driving back down on the 22nd. :(

[walnuts]

Note to self: must start looking at the stickies!

Still up for this jaunt, I really like the look of the route.

I'm a bit behind, but most likey weekend is the 21/22 right? (This Sunday being the Foxes Diner run).

[falc]

This weekend?

[walnuts]

This weekend?

Sounds good.

FWIW, I think I can do the Saturday but not the Sunday unfortunatley. Should know for sure within a day or two.

[Law]

Doh! I can't do Saturday but I can possibly do Sunday. Guildford weather on Saturday is predominately http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/images/symbols/fiveday_sym/15.gif

So I might not do this weekend anyway (or any other until it gets warmer and drier cos I'm a wimp).

[Demonz]

Either day work for me so long as its and early start/finish. Weather suggest Saturday is rain - so maybe wait until tomorrow for a look at the 5 day forecast for Sunday??

[falc]

Yer lets see what the weather is gonna be. How early you wanna start it off? 8ish

[JonToms]

Me Too 8) either day is ok as i have a free weekend (no wife and kids) WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Demonz]

Mrs Monsta has booked a day out on Saturday, so Sunday only for me now.

Weather looks like light showers for Sunday - but still keen if its wet. 8am is ok with me??

[falc]

Bah sunny today, anyway we'll decide on the day but as it is Sunday ie tomorrow at 8 at the Ely, location here (http://www.theely.com/findus.htm)

From there down to the a31, then a272 across to the a29 and then boxhill. From boxhill can make your own way back really

[Demonz]

Hey Will, Keep your eyes peeled for a Black & Yellow Gixer, Blue and Black Pointy SVs, Tuono and maybe a couple of others...

[Law]

Bleugh, just woken up, by the time I get my leathers on and get the bike ready and ride up to the Ely, it'll be past 8. so I'll see you when you all get to Box Hill.

[Demonz]

Cheers for the ride guys and nice route this morning Falc. I look forward to doing the same one again.

Falc: "British Bulldog, Grrrr" :lol:

I wasn't on the rideout but met them at the end, Box Hill, and then got soaked with them on the way back from Box Hill.

[falc]

Yer great rideout guys, great to see sv_dan at the beginning and the roads were very quiet and good quality. Weather held out... well till we got to boxhill.

Saw two police cars on our travels but were travelling within the speed limit :D
