Hampshire Arrow Mill / Monster Weekend

[Pedro]

Howdy Hampsters!

been chatting to a few peeps about riding up to Arrow Mill on the Sunday for the day and now have a rough plan forming.....

Chatted to Natty Boy today (April 12th) about riding up to meet with him and the Gloucester group at Cirencester then on to Arrow Mill.

Anyone from Hampshire or surrounding areas interested in tagging along? Melnie Mouse and AndyYellow look set to join from Hants.

Not worked out times etc yet but will post later, nearer the time.

Any takers

Celeste,

Best liase with Blue Leader (Duncan) about routes/times, as he is not one for leading the Gloucester Group along any main roads if possible. Currently he is in China mapping out the Gloucester Groups next ride out, so you might have to wait until he returns.
In the meantime send him a PM - if they have internet cafes in ChinKy "Pubs" you may get an answer.

I'm interested, I'm in Thatcham Berkshire (nr Newbury), Let me know what the plan is - I'm flexable.

[Pedro]

Aiming to meet Natty & Dunc etc at Greasy Joes cafe in Cirencester (by the big Tescos I think - Natty?) at sometime around 9.00 for brekkie then heading off around 10.00 which means getting up feckin early!

Ped

[NattyBoy]

Is it wise to fill yourselve with bacon sarnies on the poor little Monster of yours?

P

[NattyBoy]

Well, since I put the carbon fibre tea tray on, ive saved a few grammes, so performance shouldnt be affected too much in her carrying her fat b*****d bacon sarnie filled owner..:D

I shall be leaving home around 7am, stopping by Winchester (Shell Station at Winnall) around 7.30 to pick up anyone else then on to Ciren via the back roads. Andover Luggershall Marlborough Swindon etc aiming to arrive at Ciren about 9ish

Anyone else coming?

If it's pissing down, this may change......

Ped

[Duncan]

Hi Ped

Queenie, I'll probably be meeting up with Monstershop Lee and Georgie at Bicester then heading up the back roads to Alcester.

Why don't you ride up with us. I have reason to believe it will be a "spirited" ride :D

[Melnie Mouse]

I can't wait, although I think we're mad riding all that way for one day.. everyone tells me so anyway... still i'm lookin forward to it.. and now we're stopping for brekky, even better :)

[psychlist]

I'd love to join you, maybe next year.
Hope the weather stays good for y'all, have fun! :burnout:
And who says that's a long way for a day out! pah! I remember when i were a lad and we had to walk everywhere cos cars hadnt been invented and the only bikes were ridden by geezers in top hats that had to paddle along with their feet and we still managed to get to Inverness for lunch and back in time for tea!
Pah! Young people today! ;)

[AndyYellow]

Veggies and Monsters, what a combination !

Pass the bacon pig

:twisted: :eek:

[gwyndaff]

Pedro, Natty & Dunc etc
Which Tescos is Greasy Joes cafe near?
I've had a look on multimap and theres two in Cirencester

Kings Meadow, Cricklade Rd
& 4, Farrell Close

I hope the weather is as good as last weekend
Phew what a scorcher (sun newspaper type headline)

Is it still on for 9am?

[Melnie Mouse]

hey psychlist you're showing your age now... Ha ha.... yeah come next year, you'll be there for the w/e won't you? ;)

[NattyBoy]

Gwyndaff - cricklade rd I think (next to little chef and mcdonalds also). Basically turn of the a419 at ciren, head towards ciren town and youll see it on your left.

Andy - Steady on mate - youll be reaching 10 posts at this rate :D ..dont forget to bring my spare throttle cable...!!!!

For all you veggie peeps, my wife tells me (also veggie!) that you can get a lovely quorn burger in mcdonalds next door if Mr Joes doesnt have anything suitable !!!!!!
