Saturday 8th September
 

So daddy sewed the seed of a weekend ride. I am busy Sunday, but need to escape nieces and other horrible things that are coming round on Saturday (though have to be back for the evening). So who's in and what's the plan?

Attendees:
- El presidentino
- El Spankador
- Jammodor, if he's fixed his puncture
- Daddiodor, if he can be arsed

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

What did you do mate? I heard it was a puncture?

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

yeah, 3 hour trip back from london, last 30 miles or so the bike felt horrible. About a mile away from my house i pulled over cause the bike was wobbling about and the rear tyre was completely flat and the slime lining from the tyre was covering the back of me' bike...

RAC are heroic, got to me in around five minutes and did a temporary repair :D

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

Good stuff. Get it fixed mate, ASAP. Would highly recommend the place Marh_H sent me too in reading. Ride In Tyres I believe. Nice chap. Quick cheap service. He'll sort you out in no time. He may even just fix the puncture for a tenner.

EDIT: cheers for rec though

Just to forewarn I'm back to a 50:50 for the weekend. Suggest you start to get your route thinking caps on just in case I have to drop out. To be honest I was going to make it up anyway. Sort of:-
Fleet - Basingstoke - Overton - Laverstoke/Mitcheldever etc - Popham for bacon butty/coffee - Andover - Devizes(ish) loop around Salisbury planes then Andover B3400 - A30 - Home.

Or maybe old A30 from Salisbury out West until we get bored

Or something like that. Anyone got any decent ideas round that way?

Come to Essex - Supervox has got a rideout going on. And I'm making burgers for afterwards.

Re: Saturday 8th September
 

I think I could lead a half decent route from Basingstoke way round to Micheldever then on to Andover, at which point there is another road I've followed Ad along which is pretty sweet. In fact, we used to ride some pretty cool roads until I got mixed up with you fools! Time to revisit them, me thinks.

@Clare - As alluring as your burgers are, it's two hours of crap to get to Essex. Can't you move somewhere more convenient?
