Not sure how many will be there Wednesday night, early Thursday, but I have a little ride planned for the day on Thursday 10th, if anyone fancies it.

We'd need to be leaving by about 10am. The plan is to wind our way to the South Downs National Park and take in the A272 past the Meon Hut (near Loomies), which is a biker favourite, then down the A32, which is also a good road. We'll stop for lunch in the Queens Head in Tichfield to wish my dad a happy 79th birthday.

The return is a little shorter, taking in at quick stop at Winchester Cathedral, then through Nether, Middle and Over Wallop, followed by Palestine (Hamas does not control this one). It's about 80 miles in the morning and 60 in the afternoon.

Happy to tweak the route a bit if there's anything anyone particularly wants to visit on the way. We can always go and have an ice cream by the sea too, as it is very nearby.

Chris, is this rideout definately happening on Thurs?
Leaving around 10ish & about 140 miles?

Cheers Phil

I'm happy to amend it but in principle yes.

Chris, I am leaving here on Wednesday so hope to make it down by the time you leave for the ride.

What I'll do is trim a little off the morning ride (a bit more direct route) to allow for a slightly later departure.

If anyone is interested I can put a easy riding route together and print out A4 maps which includes easy lanes.

Does the offer still stand, or am I too late?

Hi Stuart....Whealie has got the route we took on the dummy weekend a while back and I think is intending to lead out. I will bring some maps and more than happy to show people lanes or roads in the area
