The track log says we stopped at N51 19.798 W2 08.074 for over an hour, which appears to be The Linnet, Great Hinton

Cheers!
At the appropriate time .. I will be detouring to that location for a lovely lunch
If you, or anyone else local(ish) to Reading want a hour or so on an "introductory" Byway session one evening, let me know
Will you post up details of this 'one hour' ride elsewhere or is it 'ad hock'? I'm usually going through the M4/M25 intersection around 5pm most days....
Oh - and are TKC's manditory?
Ad hoc. There are several easy Byways within 10 mins of me/M4 J11, that are ideal for the complete novice to fall off on
No. Take a look at http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136271 - Yamaha TDM, BMW Rockster, Triumph Bonneville on road tyres, and we will be on less muddy tracks.
Of course, it'll be easier if it doesn't rain

Yes please, would love that.

Yes please
Clive,
I would like to take you up on your offer. I live near Basingstoke.
I have hired off-road bikes a few times but never had the confidence to take my GS off-road.

I'd like to join y'all on the 11th if there is still space.
Sounds like an ideal opportunity to meet and put some faces to names.
I'm a complete off-road virgin, but willing to give it a go.
Clive I'd have liked to have joined you on Monday, but to be honest I would be stretched getting there at a sensible time. Mondays are real bad days for me, I have late meetings that tend to go on and on. If you run any other short runs for noobs like myself, then I'd certainly be interested.
See ya'll on the 11th.
Cheers

An hour at most, I'd think. It's not a ride as such, just having a go on a few bits of "non-tarmac"

I'll try and remember your name this time. You wouldn't think it'd be that hard to

Some people who have said they will be there, won't be, and some will/will not turn up on the day, because the weather is nice (or not).Is there a max limit to the group or are you figuring on the more to be about to push/pull/drag the inevitable breakdowns/crashes from ditches/gullies/hedges the better
If everyone is familiar with the drop-off system and abides by it - esp. not panicking and riding away from their marking point because the Tail end is taking longer than they think they ought to, the size of the group doesn't make much difference IME.
As I discovered last time, the only real difference it makes is that a few of the sights/sites have limited "safe" parking for large groups of bikes, so either I won't stop or I'll make up something else on the day
Ah, hopefully you will remember to set it this timeAnd I've bought a new alarm clock, special like
