Road rides on the Saturday

[Nutty]

Other than the lost dog rally, is anyone up for a local road ride? I'm not volunteering to lead it, that would be disastrous! But if there's a few folk with some knowledge of the Hampshire roads, maybe we could cobble a ride together? I was thinking a trip to Sammy Millers, in the New Forest, unless anyone has any other ideas.

Well done Sir, this is the ethos of the event

Hograost 2014 is looking good, double checked all involved just make sure you get one of the 200 or so Chocolate danish being made.

I'm happy enough to lead, but it would probably be more enjoyable if someone with some knowledge of the smaller roads did the job.

You may scoff, but there was a guy out with us this weekend on a Blade, we were riding small roads with grass in the middle and some offroad trails that were gravelled and he did fine

What time is the road ride? Or is it better to get there Friday night to prepare..

Good man...so where are we going then?

How about wheelying along Bournemouth beach front for the ladeez......

Don't ask me!

Bit late for that now matey.....

My knowledge of that area is probably the same as yours, Keith, so I'm open to suggestions from others. If we can get some ideas of who wants to go, and where people want to go, we can then decide who's going to lead, depending on road knowledge.

Sammy Millers was an initial thought, but it's not that far away, so with me in front, we could end up going round and round in circles, then ending back at the campsite by 2pm.

I'd rather let someone local, that knows all the decent back roads, lead the ride, but it looks like you lot are expecting me to lead.

No backing out now

Road map and O/S map, pencil and paper and just feckin' do it

SatNav and Basecamp lessons from Trixie will help

I don't have a problem leading a ride out, JB. But if I do, maybe some more familiar roads would be the better idea.

If people want to go to the New Forest, then we need someone that knows the roads, if no one is fussed where we go, I'll sort a ride on some roads that I know.

So, on that note, who's in?

I'm def in Rich; and also agree with you....my local knowledge down in Hants is poor, but more than happy to go with the flow......
