2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I'm pleased to announce that the winner of this years AR is Daddyjob and the GM proposal.

We actually had two proposals this year, the one above another from Matt-EUC. I'd like to thank both of them for putting their hands up to do this but sadly we can only have one winner.

So good luck to Daddyjob and crew and I wish them luck and some good weather.

Here are the details.

well done daddy. camping only.. ermm counts me out.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

The detailed threads will be uploaded this coming weekend, keep your eye out for the hotel/B & B suggestions.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

well done DJ and Matt for putting up the proposals.. its going to be a great 2015 :)

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Its a fair jaunt but I'm already looking into fun ways of getting down if I do come... I think it may be a two day trip.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

It would be great if you could make it! If you need a hand finding some twisty roads to make it more bearable, let us know. Our knowledge of lands near and far should come in fairly useful :)

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Just had a quick look on Google and there are several hotels and b&bs nearby. Might be able to persuade Lady Poppy to come along and make a long weekend of it - we both love Avebury which is close by and Wadworth supply plenty of the hostelries in the area.

Nice one Jobmeister.

Sir Trev,


This week I will be posting up a hotel/B&B thread to give people an idea of what's in the area to stay at. Please send me any places that you think look good and i'll be sure to include them.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Is it me or is that detail very dark and unreadable???

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Looks fine on my PC and phone.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

it seems to depend on what I'm reading it on. laptop is fine phone I can't see it. Not to worry though the details will be right as rain when the main thread is posted.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I don't use the default theme on the site. Too dark.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I feel the darkside is the quickest and easiest path.
Anyone seen were I put my light Saber down...

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I used it to light my cigi

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

quite! new vb default for me all the way.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Thanks for the tips. Have used vb as per Chris's post can see the original message ;)

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Likewise. All the custom themes are terrible.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Awesome, well done Daddio.

This should be good, I had a lunchtime circuit from Devizes to Pewsey and back when I started working there, and just down the road from the campsite we used to start an off road route opposite the Charlton Cat.

I can't wait :) Had some good rides around there

Congrats daddy, make it a good one, yeah?

Ooh, pretty local to me this year and some great roads. Nice!

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I may ask you for a few ideas on some roads then, seeing as you probably know the area a lot better than i.

We always aim to make it enjoyable

That was the plan, make it a bit more central and see if we can get a few more people to join in :)

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

**** Please note there has been a change to the original location due to circumstances outside our control****


Information thread coming this weekend detailing the plans.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Had a quick google and failed. So local knowledge please

I need a good and I mean good, local hotel. so wife can pamper in spa etc whilst I enjoy myself in shandy land

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Hi Tim, there are a some good hotels in this thread http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=215294 that should help.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Pewsey. Half an hour down the road from where I live. I could be tempted.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Damn. Was dying to get to this one, but it's t'other arfs birthday and we're away for the weekend.

Have a good one, I look forward to the photos

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Can I have a go next year peeps and Mr T :)

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Sure. Anyone is welcome to put in a bid.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

cool do I just PM u ?! x

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I'll put out an invitation in November to all and sundry via an announcement on the forum. The mods and I then select a winner to stage the AR for the summer.
Saying that we only had one entry for the last two years, so voting didn't take long.
Start thinking about it now and let me have your plans in November.
John

thanks John x

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Can it be a Foreign AR?!

Surely a MORE accessible AR is better? Considering this year's turnout anyway.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I think that will affect the turnout.

I see no reason why you couldn't do both though.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

Doesn't matter where it is, it depends if people can be a$$ed to go. This years AR was in Central, Southern England. Close to the M4, A4, M3, A303 & A30.
M4 goes to the M5, which joins the M42 & M6 (North & Wales)
M3 joins the M25 and every motorway the joins onto there (South East, Kent, Essex, London, East of the country & North as well)
A303/A30 goes right down to Cornwall (South, South West

So i think the transport links were great, more the lack of interest from people needs to be addressed.

LOM2 made a trip down from Newcastle to join us & Lenny came from MK. The rest of us were probably within an hour or 2 of the location.

Many people are happy to moan about it but not actually get up and put something together. The reason we put a bid on for this year was because no one else had. We took it upon ourselves to continue a tradition this forum has had going on for years.

I needn't remind you that I also put in a bid for this year, because nobody else had at the time.

What I meant, was that an AR abroad would mean less people likely to attend. I meant more accessible than that, not more accessible than this one.

Sorry that I wasn't clear enough.

Re: 2015 Annual Rideout Winner.
 

I'm glad you appreciate me making the trip. Not sure if I should tell you it took me an hour and a half to get home or not 😊
I think the location this year was perfect. Probably within 2 hours of about 50% of the UK population and still rural enough for some quiet roads.
