Each week from April - September 2008 at 6pm, Coles Miller Dream Machines will be held on Poole Quay. For other rides keep checking the rideouts section of this site, are you going to make the ride this coming Sunday? Weathers not looking great, but as far as I'm concerned any excuse to get out on my bike is good enough, rain or not, just makes you appreciate the warm dry days more :)

I don't know where else to get bike tires, even the guy who does my bike servicing gets tires from Furlong, they're a well established family business, I don't think you can go wrong with them.

Buy the way, where abouts are you and what do you ride? I'm guessing in or near Yeovil, same as me- I'll be up for a ride down to Poole one Tuesday when bike night starts 8) Jon.

Don't know if i am a bit late on this one but......

We have been asked to open on a Wednesday night for a bike night, I have posted the details on the site. We are on the A37 between Dorchester and Yeovil at the Clay Shooting ground and Kart Circuit - Southern Counties Leisure. We have loads of parking and have hot and cold food and licensed bar. First night is 30th April then every Wednesday across the summer.

If you wanted to organise a Kart race let me know
