Anyone for a Ride?

[scrumpster]

Anyone fancy a rideout in the next few weeks, weather permitting, on a Sunday possibly. Could thaw out at Loomies - just a thought anyway?

Good excuse to run the bike in Sazza

Anne, GET WELL SOON

Count Me In. Let Me Know When And We Can Arrange To Meet Somewhere. Kev

[benson]

Me too if I'm around! And what's the new bike then huh huh huh ???

[Stuart42]

Hi Scrumpster

is the ride happening this weekend, only I saw the post on the one that happened in November?

Cheers
Stuart

[scrumpster]

Shall we say Sunday then as in the 13th And meet up on Portsdown Hill, then could head for Loomies and across to Bury Hill? If we met at 11 would that be okay? We could then meet up with peeps at Loomies and from there I always get lost so happy for someone to take the lead!!! :) Rachel you are always welcome to crash here Saturday if you so wish.

[singletrack]

If the weather is OK I will meet you at Loomies.
I haven't been out on my bike since we last met!

[Stuart42]

Hi

Sunday sounds good, weather permitting.

How do you get to Loomies from Moto Rapido?

What time do you reckon you'll be at Loomies?

Hope to see you all then.

Cheers
Stuart

[scrumpster]

I reckon we would be at Loomies for 11.30 say and I've just been told to take the rest of the week off work cos I have glands up in my neck :thumbsdown: I will be stir crazy come Sunday!!!

Stuart if you get the A272 from Winchester and head to Petersfield when you get to West Meon traffic lights (A32 crossroads) take a right and Loomies is on the right, next to the petrol station, used to be the Little Chef. I've never been to Moto Rapido but I know it's in Winchester somewhere - hope that helps!!!

[Stuart42]

Hi Scrumpster

sorry to hear you're not well.

thanks for directions, hopefully see you about 11.30 Sunday.

Cheers
Stuart

[SazzaG]

We may well meet you at Loomies for a spot of lunch (weather permitting), and will of course go on to Bury Hill from there, as it's on the way home.

Yey, first ride of the year! I'll see if I can get any other Sussex peeps out.

[scrumpster]

Weather at present not looking good for Sunday :rolleyes:

[Stuart42]

Hi All

just had a look at the weather for tomorrow, not great, so wondered if still up for a ride?

Cheers
Stuart

[scrumpster]

Just having a look Stuart, judging on today's sunshine we should have made it this morning!!!

[scrumpster]

Bummer, anyone around this afternoon for a meet at Loomies at say 3?, it looks like tomorrow is a definite no, no? Could have a natter and a coffee at least!

[SazzaG]

We might be up for that.

Sharon, I'll PM you my mobile number. Can you send me yours, and I'll let you know if we can make it.

[scrumpster]

Done Sazza, I could be Billy No Mates :worried:

[Stuart42]

Hi all

just got in so missed the 3pm meet.

How about a ride next Sunday,20th?

Cheers
Stuart

[scrumpster]

Can't do next two weekends as away but was wondering if we met regularly like the second Sunday every month for lunch at Loomies and then a spin, how would that go down with people? Or we could use it as a meet up place and then go off somewhere, a different direction each time perhaps?

[barbican]

Sounds good - couldn't go out today as I had to do a pick up from Gatwick - but 2nd Sundays is a good idea

[scrumpster]

Good, hopefully a regular thing will be a good thing, after all we have our bikes to ride them :thumbsup:

[scrumpster]

Lets try again Sunday 10th Feb meet at Loomies at 11 am (not sure what meets this may well clash with) and then take it from there?!! Was there today and had a lovely albeit cold ride up towards Winchester and back to Corhampton so what do you say!!!

[barbican]

Weather permiting I will come allong

[Stuart42]

Now I know where Loomies is,weather permitting I'll be there.

Cheers
Stuart

[scrumpster]

Well yes it will all depend on the weather as per usual - mind you they keep getting it wrong. didn't expect to get out today but did!

[singletrack]

I don't think I will be able to make it - we are moving house on 14th so I will be a bit busy next weekend.

[scrumpster]

That's a shame Anne but great news that you are finally on the move (I hope). Are all you Hampsters in hibernation or just busy? Be great to put faces to names as well :)

[Stuart42]

Bleedin' typical.

Just done a 5 day forecast and gues which is the only day thats due rain?

Still, if its wrong is this still on?

Cheers
Stuart

[mad_turnips]

how about a meet somewhere central even if its crap weather for a pint just to meet everyone ? am up for a ride will have to see if the clutch will last it thought ;( might bring the gf's cruser (yuck) if desperate lol

[David Matthews]

I was thinking of riding down to Loomies on Sunday morning, anyone else likely to be there?

Forecast looks reasonable according to Metcheck http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=winchester&day=3

[barbican]

Hoping to be there - what time?

[CK & AK]

Quite a few from the Hants DSC about 10.30 - 11 as far as I can see.
We regret that owing to us going up to Cornerspeed, we wont be back in time for any rideout this weekend

Also a Ducatisti meet on Sat this weekend at Box Hill - 11am, with some meeting to leave Newlands at 10.30 to ride to Box :)

[scrumpster]

Well I was going to get to Loomies for 11, but could make it earlier mad_turnips, could meet you on Portsdown Hill first if you like?!!! Say about 10? Weather forecast for here is foggy at the mo!

[Stuart42]

Hi all

shall hopefully be there.

I'll wear a tin of carnation behind my ear so you know it's me.

Cheers
Stuart

If you guys confirm this I'll meet you there as well

[scrumpster]

Barbican, if I say i'll be up Portsdown Hill for 10, wearing a pink and white and black jacket and Arai helmet in red, white and blue I'll meet you there and we can get to Loomies for between 10.30 and 11 Stuart, but I'm wondering how you will your helmet on with a tin of carnation behind your ear!!!!!

[Stuart42]

I have a strange shaped head::freak:

Cheers
Stuart

[mad_turnips]

See you guys there 10am @ the burger van portsdown

[David Matthews]

I'm aiming to get to Loomies at about 10.30. Will someone have saved a few seats for the Monster owners? It'll be good to put faces to names and see some nice bikes.

[banditloon]

I'm off to Rapido in the morning, now where do I go from there to show off my new toy?? ;)

***oooo I'm on the post number of the DEVIL!!!!! :devil::devil::devil:

A31 signposted Alton from Winnal follow signs for Alton and then you end up at a roundabout where you double back on yourself and follow signs for Petersfield A272 you get to a set of traffic lights A32 crossroads (garage on Corner West Meon), turn right and the Loomies is on the right just after garage!!

[scrumpster]

Mad and Barbican meet at burger van opposite pub in the big car park, not the one on the roundabout - Micks Monster burgers. I'm out all day tomorrow so see you Sunday morning!

Doh!!! silly me, you mean Saturday not Sunday :look: What new toy is this anyway??

[scrumpster]

All looking good for tomorrow but cold out there at mo!!!!

[barbican]

Thanks for organising that S it was a really nice day. Sorry I had to split off on the way back - a re-match at Loomies would have been a more fitting end to the day!

David I think your bikes looking very nice - let us know when your back down this way.

Good to meet everybody and MT don't give up on the Cheerleaders Rideout

So next weekend I am going to test a Hyper having seen how well they go, and what a good reccomendation they get from the G's

[scrumpster]

I had a great time too, nice to meet you all and lets try and make it regular!! Not sure what happened to Mad and Stuart on M27, think I lost them - sorry!!

Hope Rog and Sazza got back okay, I had a nice blast back up the A32 and then came across a numpty on a 1098 I think it was overtaking in some really silly places about 2 miles from my house!! :dunce: Always has to be one!!!

Anyway, here's to the next time and I think a run to Fox's Diner may be in order!

[David Matthews]

It was good to see you folks, fabulous weather for a ride and thanks to Scrumpster for suggesting and leading such a good route.

Dave

[Stuart42]
