White Horse Historical Tour Sunday 11th May 2008

[Possu]

Is that on a pogo KTM

That'll be fun on the road sections - don't come crying to me when your arm drops off from the vibration

Managed 212 miles in one day in the Pyrenees last May, survived but only just.

Will try the GS beforehand to see if my shoulder is up to the job.

If I'm welcome on a Suzuki then may well come along. May also be with pillion to help push the bike along the offroad bits!

to help push the bike along the offroad bits!

It is fairly easy going. Especially if it stays dry

Don't get it until next Thursday, will take it to Wales on Friday.

The answer is yes before you ask.

Can I come and do the ROAD only route?

 

[Clive]

Can I come and do the ROAD only route?

Sure. Don't forget a map or GPS then, to be able to get to the end of the Byway bits

Mapsource route.

Note where the the first "site" waypoint is - Wilton Windmill - due to the numbers likely to be there we won't be stopping, but it'll be on your right after a few miles from Hungerford - give it a wave as you pass

If you, or anyone else local(ish) to Reading want a hour or so on an "introductory" Byway session one evening, let me know :

I am curious as to the popularity of this ride?

For first timers .. what attracted you to this? Is it the off road bits? Is it the white horses?

Or do you just want to see Clive's sewing machine box panniers?

I was attracted to this last year because of the white horses and the lovely pub lunch from the year before.

Clive .. do you have the garmin file/coordinates of that lovely pub?
