an SV rideout.... 29/07/12
 

in nature if not exclusive in bike make.

By which I mean anyone welcome, normal rules, not hectic pace, junctions marked, no one gets lost.

As it's Olympic time and the zig zag is closed for the bike racing and surrounding area (boxhill) I would suggest a meet at Newlands corner, a 130 mile(ish) loop down to Worthing and back (not set in stone yet), or of course you could leave once down there, anyway I'll work out the details later this week and edit this post.

Location of start point: about 5 miles away from boxhill towards Guildford on the A25, or for satnav

EDIT:-
A couple more thoughts on this whilst I have a minute, probably include the dunsfold rd (for those who don't know, voted 8th best bike riding road in the country at one point/ passes the "topgear" track), and a stop at the Bury hill tea hut on the way as we'll be near there, lunch at the seaside, maybe a return up through Ashdown forest or something like that (I'll actually plan a route (and bring maps for those wanting them) at some point).

11am leaving Newlands with a brimmed tank
stick you name down if interested of if you'd like to meet up along the way and I'll work out timings.

Cheers Mark

cut and paste below when adding name


Newlands Corner for 11am kick off
1. Rictus.


Update

owing to the cycle racing Newlands will be a pain to get to (if at all), so now the start will be about 5 miles away at the Junction of the A281 Horsham rd and the B2130, there is a layby just south of the junction with a tea van (see pic), accordingly and extra 15 minutes will be afforded, so start time will be 11.15 with a full tank, petrol is available in Cranleigh.

the nearest postcode is GU6 8JX , which puts you on Elmbridge rd, turn right at the trafficlights (going west) and the the tea van is 100yds on the left.



Second Edit

Right well it'll be the dunsfold rd,going down to Petworth, A 272 across to Midhurst, onto Compton and then back to Goring -by-sea,that's about an 80 mile leg, lunch at Sea lane cafe, couple of options for a route back, depending on how everyone is fairing, but for simplicity A27/A26/A22 and up through ashdown forest (about 55 miles) ending at Jct 6 M25 Godstone green so everyone can get away easier.

Cheers Mark

Anyone having a problem, let me know and I'll see what I can do about it.

Cheers Mark

Excuse my ignorance Mark, but where is Newlands in relation to Skinner Towers?

Re: an SV rideout.... 29/07/12
 

about 5 miles away from boxhill towards Guildford on the A25, or for satnav GU4 8SE, I'll add this to the original post.

Cheers Mark.

Would such a ride include motorways? Motorways bring me out in a cold sweat. To be honest, only feel 'safe-ish' on my London commute. Trying to break this weird safety net, but wouldn't wanna hold anyone up.

sounds interesting

Re: an SV rideout.... 29/07/12
 

no motorways Yael, mainly A roads and a few B's to keep it interesting, but all done at a steady pace.

Cheers Mark.

Would love to give the new bike a ride but the start of this one is a little far for this old lady!
