beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

right as the newly painted Raptor is now back in my possession looking gorgeous (see photos) and MOT booked I thought it was time to start planning rideout.:cool:

I dont know the roads round here so will get DD to plan a nice wee route, wont be long or too twisty (and if it is he will be on stoppage) (saying that he may not notice any difference) anyway back to riding lol.:smt056

Looking at Saturday 4th or Saturday 11th/Sunday 12th.:sunny:

Do these dates suit everyone or even anyone?:smt120

This rideout is not particularly for women but it is for slow riders. It is primarly for us to build some confidence. :) There will be lots of adhering to speed limits, no silly overtaking within group, lots of stops. :D If you want to ride like a **** please go out another day.:smt077 More experienced riders are welcome but dont moan about slow pace etc you have been warned.:smt045

If you are interested let me know what date, time etc suits.:p If you are not interested dont bog this topic down with your silly chitchat - I dont care what you think ;)

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

there's a nice pub along pirbright bends, me and Sarah stopped there for a coke when we were there last

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

im up for a nice gentle ride out on any saturday, work sundays though :( where abouts down south are you located?

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Aldershot

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

KK, I cant do those weekends, we are in Cornwall etc but I can do the weekend of 18th and 19th July x

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

VT - we dont have Jess that weekend, so provided Bex is around (babysitter) we could maybe do a nice rideout on the Saturday (Bex works Sunday). Wanting to have another rideout before then too.

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Isn't the 11th Grich's tea and cake afternoon?
Could do something in the morning and then go down? Anyone fancy that?

I'm up for a ride...

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Ignore that last post about dates. Grich's tea and cake is 27th June. Anyone fancy a ride down? I'll be with Law.
Don't mind if I tag along at the back on your ride do you?

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

thats only a stone throw from me :thumleft:

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

i'm a defo maybe for those sundays

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

oi stop hijacking my post with your own rideout plans - beat it boy. anyway you are welcome to tag along but remember it will be a slow pace and if you annoy me I will skelp you. Just ask Law (I scare him);)

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

It was more correcting my mistake than hijacking ;) and I thought now I've put the idea in some people's mind, I may as well offer something in return.
I won't annoy you, honest :lol:
Anyone can scare Law though.. he's a pussy (although his bike is very quick as I found out on Sunday and has a VERY uncomfy pillion seat. Like being on a plank of wood! :lol:)

I'll come along. If I annoy anyone at all I'll bugger off and leave you guys (well girls really, Law included lol) to it.

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

So was that a yes to the weekend after we are back from Cornwall?

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

yeah Ive written it on my calendar. If Bex cant babysit, Adam will need to do it.

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Super! Im looking forward to it :D

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout

Cheers, Tom

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Hiya and Welcome

check the first page out for the dates - but please note the title of the thread

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

read the post was wandering if you had decided which date....
I'm fine with that, only been riding a little while anyway, would just be good to meet some other riders.

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Thats Cool :D

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

if i've read the post right it looks like the 19th July :D

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

I think it's the saturday so that's the 18th

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

drat. aberdare park road races that weekend.

another time.

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

i knew it was that weekend

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

quite a bit of interest here so I have made an executive decision. There will be (provided raptor passes MOT and its not snowing) a wee jaunt on saturday 4th, Sunday 12th and Saturday 18th. Routes as yet unknown. Will start about 11am from somewhere nearish to Aldershot. anyone interested could they PM so I can keep you updated with details.

remember this will be a slow jaunt, if riding behind slow riders annoys you, dont come along. This is not female only.

away now to look at map

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Tris and DD can organise a faster ride for the maniacs if need be!!

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Falc will be interested in that now the disks are done

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Hmmm :-k I might just come along on the mimimoto, you lot might have a chance of keeping up then ;)

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

Cheeky sod!

By the way, Im trying to get Fizzy Fish to come too, awaiting response!

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

If are lot of people are interested, why not have two ride outs, just meet for lunch in the same place? seems like the logical solution :)
Tom

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
 

If I am available I will pop along to one or two of them.
Sarah, you will have to supply me with more Ginger cake though....

Re: beginner/newbie/slow/slower/slowest rideout
