I have a free weekend coming up (7+8 March) and wondered if there were any group rides happening over that weekend that I could tag along to? I’m in the Wiltshire area and am looking to travel within a 100 mile radius.

Thanks.

Hey Aleigh, my mended shock is due back today – – hurray!!!! so I was going to drop you a line anyway. You’re more than welcome to come down here for a pootle that weekend – Sat best for me. Should be able to get a few people to come out, not 50+ though! The terrain is pleasant rather than exhilarating, so if you get more exciting offers, just take your pick. Mail me if you want.

Hi there!

Now that sounds like a plan 😀

I’ll email you later this evening as I can’t access my hotmail from work.

And no worries about numbers, just going somewhere different and meeting one or two people is just as great.

Hello ladies! I can only make the Sunday 🙁

[hijack]Aleigh, where in Wilts do you ride? I’ve been scouting for easy rides for the Mrs, Wiltshire was on my list. Avebury ish. What’s it like? How bad are the climbs?[/hijack]

Hi cg, shame cos it would be great if you came too. Just don’t do your Saturday thing! Or I’ll see if I can be free Sunday, but not 100% sure.
Aleigh, cool, I like plans for bike rides!

molgrips – I haven’t really ridden in Wiltshire 😳 (I’m in Swindon) but I’m sure someone on here will have (where’s MrNutt when you need him, he’s bound to have done a ride there!) I’ve done the Ridgeway once and that’s it 😆 Most of the people I ride with don’t live here you see.

annabananna – I’m around both days so it makes no odds to me. See what you can do and let me know. I’ll email you later anyway 🙂

molgrips – start at Barbury Castle (S of Swindon)
Head w follow RW looping S, take E to Sarsen stones to Rockley (can do RUPP N direct home), or choice to Og-St-Andrew, then N on Rupp (+++) and W on Smeathes Ridge.

Did with my GF – who runs but no techie biking skills.

Beware damp/wet days as lots of chalk surfaces.

Come and see me, and we’ll go out on the town, get proper slaughtered, then wake up on a tube in Amersham, at 7 in the morning…

Proper night out, none of this Reading nonsense.

Aleigh was just gonna say, hope this isn’t instead of your weekend in Blackpool!!! 😉

I decided not to go to Blackpool for numerous reasons……apart from the fact I would rather go out on a bike ride with like minded people, I really don’t want to waste my money on alcohol!

I could do that on the Saturday night Rudeboy!

Aleigh – you need to sort out rides for both Saturday and Sunday then 😀

I’m sure I can come up with some ideas for the Sunday if there is any interest?

Cool route gusamc, thanks 🙂

Does anyone fancy going on a ride in Wiltshire on Sunday 8th March? CG is really good at guiding and has said she can get a route together.

If you would like to go please drop me a line to my email address which can be found in my profile.

😀

aleigh, and anyone else interested, this saturday MrsNutt is dusting off her trusty P7 and we’re going to do a slow and easy ride around, dependent on condition(s) we may even make a day of it, that said I can direct folk to more interesting pastures if they want to tag along as there’s a few routes that veer off and then rejoin.

all welcome, non demanding easy ride to get the missis back on the bike after a winter on the blocks 😀

i would love to join you but i have my girls this weekend. hope you have a great time and i’ll catch up with you both soon 🙂

MrNutt – sorry but won’t be able to join you. Do hope that MrsNutt has fun and she will be inspired to ride some more trails 😀

Aleigh – how does a ride starting from Stonehenge sound? Does anyone know what the parking charges are like?

I haven’t a clue!

The only info I can find out is the admission price on the English Heritage website.
