TVSF rideout...Sunday 10 Feb.
 
Obviously depending on the weather, i was wondering who is available for a hoon.

No fixed plans on day/destination yet, but i was thinking of something a bit further afield than the usual Aylesbury/Oxford run.

Perhaps into Surrey(Box Hill) and maybe further south into Sussex.

Is it too early for a run to Brighton? Maybe.......

So who is up for it and would you prefer Saturday or Sunday?

It would be nice to see some of the people who have not made many(or indeed any) of the rideouts so far:

Knightrider
Scifibloke
Stevehaskew
Ogden(:p)
Ape
....and of course any others!

The more the merrier, usual sausage factory rules apply....limited mirror checks, stragglers will be lost forever.

UPDATE:

Just for those who don't wish to sift through the thread to find out the main details.

Meet@ Shire Horse Maidenhead. We aim to depart by 10:45 so please be there by then, or contact someone to let them know you're late. Come freshly fueled, although we may stop on route anyway.

Maidenhead>Ascot>Woking>Guildford>Horsham>Brighton . Lots of twisties in between!

Oooh, that sounds tempting. Think we've got relative visiting duties on Saturday and bike show on Sunday though :-(

possible, although it is the missus's birthday so I might be expected to do something with her. How selfish...

Would like to, but reckon I'd be holding you all down. Haven't got bike booked in for first service till next Weds :(

...actually, could join for the start and be part of the got lost crew

Not me I'm afraid. Not going on any ride out when the Dullsville is my only bike to use. Plus finger will have only been off for 4 days. Hmmm painful I think.

I'll be up for this. I'm sure there are some roundabouts that need abusing! :D

Will have to bring the hairnet though as the Ninja is now on ebay, making way for the Tuono 1000 Factory.........:smt103:D

not wanting to p*ss on anyones parade, but I think the weather for this weekend is lookin pretty dia! snow etc is forcast.

On the other hand I would be up for a ride out. Either day would be fine I think. Would be nice to go for another TVSF jaunt.

I do have a suggestion for a ride:
A44 from Oxford to Worcester
A422 to Stratford-upon-avon
Head south on the Banbury Rd back towards Oxford

Not so good for you southern folk but some very nice roads

Its only Tuesday and the 5 day forecasts are about as useful as a c**k flavoured lollipop, so we'll see how the weather looks closer to the time.

Hold that thought! Will have to meet at Fox's and do that route when the weather is better..

philbut 29-01-08 10:13 PM

Re: TVSF rideout...weekend 2/3 Feb.
 
Indeed. It's a route I do quite often on my own - we can even stop of at me moms for a cuppa half way - I'm sure they won't mind a bunch of bikers invading the farm! Maybe best to save for the warmer weather, and some of the smaller roads have a load of crap on them at the mo because of the recent flooding.

I'll keep it in mind for spring / summer then

Weather.com says between 1 and 6 Celsius. Sod that for a game of soldiers. I'll be in bed.

I think one handed riding is not advised. I actually have a valid excuse this time. :lol:

Your right. Maybe we should still keep the meet just change the sport

Could do.

You're attendance probably wouldn't improve though. :p

ASM-Forever 30-01-08 07:41 PM

Re: TVSF rideout...weekend 2/3 Feb.
 
Update

In the case of poor weather (either really cold/icy/wet) then it is my intention to bump the rideout until the next weekend (9/10 Feb). Hopefully the weather might improve.

This might also allow some of the people who can't make 2/3 to attend.

Watch this space......

I'm going to test ride a Tuono this weekend. Hmm, 2 degrees and one of the most wheelie happy bikes ever made. Could be interesting.:|

ASM-Forever 31-01-08 10:07 PM

Re: TVSF rideout...weekend 2/3 Feb.
 
The weather looks set to be poor....hopefully they are wrong, but i'm becoming increasingly pessimistic. :(

ASM-Forever 01-02-08 01:35 PM

Re: TVSF rideout...weekend 2/3 Feb.
 
UPDATE


As the weather forecast has not improved and we look set for highs of 2C tomorrow('feels like' -4C) and slightly improved Sunday weather(highs of 4C feels like -1C), i am bumping this rideout until the following weekend 9/10 Feb.

Whilst the weather might have been passable for a short blast, a rideout of any distance would certainly lead to frostbite!

Hopefully this is just a cold snap and the temperature will get up into double figures, in the near future. On a positive note, all of those who couldn't make this weekend because of the London bike show/work/family commitments, now have no excuse not to make the 9/10!

Speedy work....perhaps we should make your sick leave more permanent? ;)

OK people once again please state whether you can attend the new date of 9/10.

Mr.Ape as you seem to be at a loose end, perhaps you could add a poll?

Options:

Yes-Saturday
Yes-Sunday
Yes-either day
No- :(
