Spontaneous Rideout Text Alerts??!
Anyone interested in sharing mobile numbers so we can make others aware if we're going out for a ride and looking for company? I know we can post on here, but who logs in on Sunday morning?!
The weather forecast said rain today so I didn't bother posting any plans for a Sunday ride, but in fact this morning was okay - no rain at all. So I hopped on the bike and hit the road from Woking to Newlands Corner & Box Hill. It got me thinking that a quick text to local riders an hour before or so and we could've got a group together. Box Hill / Newlands Corner is easy for me, but sometimes I head for Basingstoke and the A33 up to Reading. I'm sure you guys have got some good routes too. Thoughts??? |

Great idea.......
But may be 2 hours plus notice would be better. it takes me roughly 1 hour to get to box hill. may be a next day notice ? ....... |

Re: Spontaneous Rideout Text Alerts??!
Sounds like a good idea, but I don't really know any good local routes.
If I am not busy I am usually up for mooching round on the bike - and yeah two hours might be better. I'm about 1/2 hours ride from boxhill, but like Tony, it takes me a while to get all me gear on and get out the door, but I'm allowed being female and all, whats your excuse Tony ;) |
Re: Spontaneous Rideout Text Alerts??!
my excuse is..
Inner gloves, outer gloves velco put into right place, helmet put on over head scarf, Making sure my ipod head phones are in a nice and comfortable place, ah and checking to make sure I have the right play list and the volume is ok.:smt020 And last but most important I have my chewing gum I my mouth. Last time I ended up stopping on the motorway to lock my helmet and ended doing 3 figures to catch everyone up. After this check I’m happy to ride for the next few hours without stopping.. or it could be, i'm just slow..............:smt104 ha ha ha |
Re: Spontaneous Rideout Text Alerts??!
Good idea, I do most of my computing at work so I tend to drop off the planet at the weekends.:smt026
