View Full Version : Poole Quay Tuesday Nights 2007
clicky (http://www.pooletourism.com/services.asp?id=26C35B30E2A948)
2007 Dates have just been announced - every Tuesday from 6pm 3rd April to 25th September.
Pay £1 on the gate, or get yourself an armband for the whole year for £5 - all proceeds go to charity.
For anyone who has not met me, Scoobs, Teejay, E.d. or Fizzwheel, we usually go most weeks so this will be the ideal opportunity for you to buy us a drink and listen to Scoobs moaning about how cold/hungry he is :lol:
For those travelling from the east, usual arrangement is to meet at Rownhams (M27) or Burley (A31) services at around 6pm for a 'brisk' ride down to the Quay for a look at the bikes and to grab some food.
Please use this post only for questions/details/photos etc - this post will be stickied nearer the time (mods permitting :wink: )
listen to Scoobs moaning about how cold/hungry he is :lol:
I hasten to add that this isn't the highlight of the evening.

Work permitting will be there.The big question is where will we eat?.Although Oyster Quay's website is still up and running but no mention of bike nights on Tuesdays anymore.

Last time we were there it looked very closed so we ended up in Weatherspoons, which was not too bad. Oyster Quay website does mention Bike Night but doesn't look as though it has been updated since last year
Will certainly be popping over a few moew times this year compared to last. As always will depend on the weather riding over and what time I finnish work. Looking forward to this, the macleans bike has not been there yet 8)
Finally had my right thumb op only 18months after my accident and it's looking good that I'll be back in the saddle mid season. Keep me posted of anyone taveling from Taunton/Yeovil or that general direction.
Kicked in my evening job so no excuses now.
Always better riding with others :)

I'm up for leaving work off an hour early and biking straight from Swindon when the nights get longer, you'll just have to ride blindfolded so I can keep up :wink:

Looking forward to a casual amble over to the quay, as usual I will be taking it very easy on my lil suzy. Should be fun. Keep that battery charged and I'll not need the blindfold :wink: Mines on the Optimate as we speak :D

If Beenz is with us, we won't have time to look at them even if they were fitted :lol:
A half day hol sounds like a brilliant idea, we'll miss the rush hour on the way down and even get us a parking spot within a bus ride of the quay :lol:
Best to do this when the weather forcast is good though, a blizzard takes the edge off the bimble.
just waiting to find out if i got into traffic full time.
Good luck with that fella. Just go easy with me if I whizz past you at 160. :wink: :lol:

there was another webcam which was right on the quay, think it had something to do with the council or lifeboat. you could rotate it and everything. found the link on here last year, but cant find it now.
or i could just post a weather repot in the morning and later on in the afternoon. i work about a mile away from the quay.
Sorry guys - not going to be there this week (unless I take the cage).
Took the bike for it's first MOT this morning, and then found out it is not booked in until next week :smt075 - MOT was due on 27 March so that has stuffed it :(

just a little heads up. the weather down here doesnt look spectacular. a bit grey, and would be chilly on the quay. rain??? possibily. not a weather man though so i dont know. not that they know either to be honest. wouldnt be much rain though.
might cycle down tonight if the weather improves and wind isnt against me.

Have a good one.
whats the nicest ride down to poole from crewkerne area?
am new to area? via dorchester and wareham? any speed traps or cameras to watch out for?
Yup, it was a very cold ride home in my leathers. Just thawing out now.
A lot of bikes there though, well worth the rideout. Oh and SH thought he knew a cow called Daisy in a field on a hairpin bend ;)

Thats the way I normally go, down to Dorchester A37 ( watch for speed camera van hiding in and around the Evershot turn off ) then A35 along the Puddletown bypass, then onto Poole.
Its not the most exciting ride, but it gets you down there quickly and in the summer thats important otherwise you have to park in the overflow carpark which means you have to walk back to the quay.
You could go to Sherborne and then take that road down to Dorchester which is a bit more fun. I sometimes come back that way.
