It would be nice if you could make it Anna.
Aw, thanks Mr Lightyear! I really want to go - love these group rides and imagine I'll be unfeasibly miserable if I can't! Just may not be able to.
Argh! 16th is the Brechfa Enduro and I've just registered without checking this thread... oh well!
Arse! It clashes with Brechfa!
Doomed never to make a South West STW ride...
I'm going to stick it in the diary and then see closer to the date, it's a go-er for now. As I live very nearby it would be good to broaden my Mendip knowledge!
Excellent!
Good, I will be there as well, lift available from Trowbridge to the start on that day. Can accomodate 2 riders and their bikes.
cheers_drive: what about Pewsey Down on the 9th of August?
cheers buzz
I would be up for the 16th work depending.
i'm up for it - Gilles, could travel together? Up for your Pewsey ride as well
Sean, great! I'm just stuck in Norwich for the rest of the month, no ride in the Erlestoke wood before a while unfortunately!
MuddyPuddle: these are social rides. We stick someone at the front, someone at the back and then everyone goes at their own speed and we regroup after each section. There's absolutely no pressure to hurry because loads of gassing goes on 🙂
On the recent Exmoor ride, we managed a stunning average speed of 3.5 mph, although this included a 40 minutes stop for cream teas. The Mendips are a little less hilly so I'm predicting a whopping 5pmh average speed.
Muddypuddle - they are lovely people 😀
buzz - does that mean I can give up hill-training and take up cream tea training instead?
not out-gassing, at least not when someone is drafting you please
[i]take up cream tea training[/i]
Aren't they a joy after exercise - guilt-free troffing. I had some the other day at home and they just we're not as nice without the fresh justification.
I seeked out the thread. I found it.
I seeked the date. I found it.
August 16th.
Elvis's death anniversary.
Madonna's birthday.
My wife's birthday.
Oh, bugger.
I have been waiting for one of these to come along and would love to meet like minded people for a day of fun. Can I come please? 😀
Tried to come to the westbury and new forrest ones but the dates weren't good for me.
Live in Andover so I could offer a lift to someone should transport be an issue.
Bad luck Dez 🙁
MM - I have been nagging oldfart to resurrect this, pleased that others are too!
So is the route sorted now ? How far etc ? Oh and any pics ?
OK boys and girls i've just e mailed Buzz Lightyear so we can get this sorted .I will keep you updated .
I'm still up for this, not too far from me.
Mulletus, pretty sure i'll be up your way Saturday, so Swinley or somewhere could be good to break that new bike of yours in. I'll call you later.
Mendips aren't too far away, and I've never ridden there! I can't make the 16th, due to stag weekend. Might be able to ride the Monday though. Could some mail me the GPX please?
