New riders out there in/near Thames valley area
 
New riders who want to join us for a ride but are afraid to ask because you think your too slow, or not enough experienced .
WE CATER FOR ALL
No matter how slow or even if you've just passed your test,
Join us for a ride out
It doesn't have to be very fast or even very far.
Just let us know who you are and your location and when your available week days and/or weekends.
If we know there are people out there wanting to join us for a ride well arrange a ride to cater for your abilities.

Let us know, and join us or just read about the great rides we have. :smt103

Can we have this as a sticky ?

[Caveat Mode]Be warned, the Thames Valley group are renowned for losing people. It isn't personal or anything to do with your speed but we just have a tendancy to get lost. Whatever you do dont follow ASM as it is a firm policy of the group to lose him at least once on every rideout.[/Caveat Mode]

I wrote this announcement as one of the first posts in the TV section.

It is the one and only announcement in the TV section :wink:

It is the very first thread on the TV main page.

I'm just outside you guys area. In Sutton Surrey. But not too far, would be good to get out for my first proper rideout soon. Passed my test in September and have only been out on me tod so far. I ride everyday, commuting, and am building my confidence and improving every time i go out, I think.

Feel free to pop along to any of our meets or rides. I passed in May and also commute so we probably have similar riding experience. This weekend's ridout is likely to be a fairly easy going ride and as it is only for 3hrs so it would probably make a good first group ride. Checkout this link for more info.

Details are not fully deceided yet, but it looks like a 9.30 start at the Shire Horse (see the map in my signature) we will then head up to Fox's dinner to meet with the oxford lot and from there we will take a 3hr ride round the countryside with the aim of being back to Fox's at 1-1.30 for some lunch and a gentle ride home.

Sorry but we don't allow outsiders. If your not in the boundry area's identified you can go to hell. :wink:

In reality though, more than merrier. :lol:

If I haven't said it before, welcome to the site. :bounce: and especially welcome to the TV section.

If the Thames Valley section made beer it'd probably be the best beer in the world. :lol:

Thanks for the welcome. Not sure I can get away this weekend. Just bought a house and am rediculously busy decorating and trying to get moved in. I'll see what I can do though. If not this weekend will try and get along to a rideout sooner rather than later.

Re: New riders out there in/near Thames valley area
 
Hello everyone, I'm a fairly new rider too, passed in October....

I'm free for weekend rides only, but only some weekend rides, depending on when I get my day-release from hoovering chores etc.

I'm kind of split between TV and the GM (Camberley / Farnborough), so technically I suppose I can belong to both for the same flat subscription fee......

Hope to make a weekend date soon.

(I'm free this Saturday and Sunday but the TV ride looks like its gonna start too far away at the Shire Horse - added to that I've never been there so would run the risk of getting lost before we even set off :D)

Yeah well, I suppose living on the border is a good thing in many respects, we can be .org immigrants, of sorts I suppose - or foreign nationals?

You crazy TV people make no sense - surely you should have an 'anti-sausage recruitment drive' in place or something - rather than trying to raise the sausage-ometer reading by coveting thy neighbour and poaching members?!?

To be fair Falc has recently moved to TV territory so we are now trying to convert him.

In terms of "coveting thy neighbour and poaching members" we leave the rape and pilliging to ASM.

Some say, he can drink a whole pint of milk in a oner.

Others say, he swim a whole length of the local swimming pool.

All we know is his name is the SVNutter. :cool:

Well, er, neither can I.

Some say he changes his bike more often than he changes his underpants.

Others say that he enjoys riding naked pillion with other members of the GM. :smt102

We know him (unfortunately) as HooliganDan formally kwakadan, formally SV Dan ;)

His 'illness' is in no way as serious as that which Dan has.

Hmm, I guess owning 15 bikes since I passed my test back in 2003 is a little excessive!:p

Shoot, that's a differnt bike every 4 months for 5 years.

Ummm, help!
