Regular Surrey / Hants Offroad Ride

[pinkytiff]

Numbers for the 24th

The meeting place will be Alton Station car park (Hampshire). We will be leaving the car park at 9am and heading out to the first lane. I have not planned a lunch stop so bring some food and drink with you. If it is very cold I'm sure we will find somewhere on route for a hot drink. The terrain will vary from mud, rock, gravel and chalk so there should be something for everyone. I have not ridden all of the lanes so we may need to be flexible on the day. Some of the lanes will be challenging so be prepared.
We are lucky in Hampshire to still have a reasonable number of lanes open so please remember there will be other users of the lanes to consider.

OK guys, I think it looks like this:

Confirmed - Horse1200 / Losttheplot / noelrobertson / Dave Emsley / Hugo / Jeff Kirby + me, dxwalt & Todd makes 9 definite.

Possible - SamD / dollyrocket / NCpierce

I reckon 12 is enough for this outing so no more please unless people drop out.

See you all in Alton station car park as per dxwalts mail

We are also LUCKY as now a new law has been passed, opening Restricted Byways to all traffic on a SUNDAY WELL DONE Test Valley Bough Council

Hi chaps,

I have an F800GS, grew up outdoors on a bike in Sunny South Africa and have just ordered a set of MT 21's for the next ride.
I hope that this will get me around. I have not ridden off road for around 17 Yrs but I am sure that it is like riding a bike, a few falls in the mud will bring it all back.

I will be sunning myself with my wife in Mexico on the 24th of this month so look forward to meeting you at the next outing.
Cheers, Noel

Hi M8,
I will be taking a rain check on the 24th Jan. I will be away in Mexico but would love to take you guys up on the next ride.
Cheers,
Noel

Bakerman,
Is this a wind up?Can we really have the Roman road back on Sundays?

Would be superb news - keeping my fingers crossed.

If you have the details that would be great as I am bound to come across a few ramblers who will no doubt be delighted to have a few things explianed to them...

Cheers

Jay B

Cheers!

Its alright Horse il be riding sweeper on this run.

Think we have the full range from my Pogo up to your 1200 and the xc's and gs's inbetween.

 

[Horse1200]

Ok no prob, this should be a good laugh, there are some good lanes in the alton area. Oh and some muddy one now the snow has melted..

 

[DollyRocket]

[divelandy]

Do you think this will be ok for an F8 with Anikee's and a total off-road numptie?

 

[DollyRocket]

When it comes to being an off-road numptie - you'll be in good company
