15th April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill - 8AM

Every rideout we've ever done as a group has been fine. If people want to goa bit quicker they can and then they just slow down and wait for others to catch up. It's never been an issue in the past and we've never lost anyone yet.

Whoa, i wasnt having a pop you Steve, i know what you where doing, just that it couold give the worng impression to newbies...then again, Lee is a newbie really isnt he.

I might be able to make this as i can really do with getting out. But i will be coming up from Portsmouth. Need to loosen off a bit, and get out of the house .

I'll be taking it slow though as i haven't ridden much since February.

seeing as it looks like there might be quite a few of us it would seem sensible to use the marker system used on other rideouts.

any volunteers for leader and tailender?

Dan, do you find it hard when you get up that early?

Sarah, I am willing to help, but don't think I will be much help. Not ridden these roads before, but I do have a delightful tank bag with map viewer...

viney has suggested having a slightly more specific meeting point so that it is easier for us all to find eachother:

"Id suggest parking the bikes in the overspill area then meeting by the table to the left of Rykers up on the grassy bank"

see you all there

Hi Kelly,

If you're coming up from Portsmouth then you can meet up with us in Guildford and we'll go to Boxhill together.

Just ride at your own pace, I'll be taking it easy to.

Sarah, I think the Marker system is a great idea i don't mind marking and it should be in place anyway imho

I'm a Box Hill virgin, I think I know how to get there, I can see the slip road from Google maps anyway...

I usually find places of interest by

a) spotting a large rainbow flag,
b) hearing Kylie music blaring from 3 streets away or,
c) by the large number of orange skinned, sleeveless-topped men loitering around.

Obviously sv_dan will take care of 'c', but if you could arrange a billowing flag/kite and a nice bit of 'I'm spinning around' that would be fabulous...
