In need of a ride out

I am in desperate need of a ride out as the roads near me are boring! and I don't have many people to ride with down here so any suggestions and interest would be appreciated

I am happy to travel up to lets say the midlands? so If anyone knows any good roads and is up for a full days riding (long enough to make the travel worthwhile) then please let me know as I am gagging to see some open roads!!

Thanks

Get yer name down for TOL or S&T in September, brill rideouts!

There are some reasonable roads with a few really nice bends up near Rye, Hythe and Folkstone. Its a trek but it may be worth it. Maybe we could put together a group. I personally wouldnt mind a ride up to Folkstone or even to Dover. I have some time around the first week of August, all other things permitting.

Would love to but not sure I can get a weekend pass :(

Sounds like it could be a plan reciprocity! let me know a date when you can and I will put it in diary, I can do any day, don't mind taking a day off work.

Well get yer rear in gear get up here and I'm sure we could wiz yer round a few 'o' them thar open & twisties. If you make it a Sat or Sun I'm sure Ellie & Nick could have their arms twisted to join in too

If the dates suit count us in, got an appointment with a poorly Thundercat waiting in my garage too when I get back off our hols. Maybe a test ride should be in order in a couple of weeks

Sounds like 'something' will happen round about August time. So, ill just wait and see how this develops...likely that all us southerners will end up having to ride up north to the rest of the group.

Why ?

There's enough of you to get yer thang together and do a south one

One of yer grab the bull by the horns and say . . . right ! meet here @ on and we'll do oo oo it WooFF !! simples

we have just done a southerners ride out, although it was good the roads are not so great. I would like to explore a bit so if we can get a date arranged for a majority of us to meet at a central location such as the midlands would be good experience for us "less travelled" southerners and an opportunity to get more cats involved... would be nice to see some old and new faces also

Right your it then !

You bully persuade the southerners group from there together and drag them kicking and screaming lead them up here.

Tell them Come to a mutually agreed date and we'll lead you over some of our rough as a badgers arse svelt midland sweepies ans twisties.

Once you've been whet nursed abley guided around we'll f*** you off set you off in the right direction back down south home again.

wadda ya think

only jesting you understand

Sounds good to me! you hard b******d very nice fella

I shall get on with the hunting gathering of southern cats

If the timing is right, I'm in.

By the way, Hein Gericke Oxford are having an open day this Saturday with a "Poker Ride" - take a look at their website and see what you think. Unfortunately I'm busy.

Did you ever get any further with the Cotswolds ride out idea ? That'd be a reasonable south ride away

Ok guys I have posted up new topic for the ride out so please get involved at let me know you interest and ideas

Well, unfortunately my wife got pregnant and that kinda put paid to that! I still harbour the idea of a Cotswold Canter one year, just need the time to plan a route and look into food and board options. I do keep thinking about it and keep mentally logging ideas for roads and other aspects of a weekend meet.
