Default Pseudo spontaneous ride-out Thursday Evening July 31.

Largely disorganised shambles of a ride on offer for anyone who fancies joining me on Thursday 31st.

Important bits.

Start Fleet 19:00 (ish)
End Fleet 21:00 (ish probably a bit later given previous experiences)
Bit in the middle - Wiggly bits south of Fleet mostly with a fuel stop en-route for those with thirsty bikes.

Sort of ride
- Spirited but not mental. Quite technical. Nothing Scary unless you're scared of oil-seed rape fields or rabbits.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll flesh out the details like where to meet and route summary. If no or few takers then I'll not bother doing the leg-work.

All welcome

Not sure. I hate those tiny little gravelly backroads. I like fast technical roads like the 339 to basingstoke. Lots of sweepers, woooo!

A339's not technical it's well and truly blatable. It's bound to include a bit of A339 but the basingstoke end, not the really fast sweepy bits from Lasham to Alton. There again route is still TDB so you never know. It will however include some gravelly bits I'm sure given the recent flooding. Just have to demonstrate a touch of restraint at times and make up for lost time on the other bits.

Hmm, but I don't like them!

How are you supposed to drag your knee on 90 degree, gavel ridden bends?

I may be up for this though.
