[ptolemyx]

Let's do a ride out starting and finishing at Riders of Bridgwater later in the month, autumn weather permitting. Poll above for:- Sun 18th, Sat 24th, Sun 25th, Sat 31st or Sun 1st Nov

I've got my ideas and welcome route suggestions please, any of your favourite sections to include in up to 200 miles

I've gone for Sunday the 18th Oct' but am happy with any of the above dates really.
Note that Riders are closed on a Sunday, also, British Summertime(!) ends on Sunday 25th October and the clocks go back an hour from midnight .......... .

Mr P, if you have an outline route and are thinking of straying into the Brendons, Blackdowns, East and/or Mid Devon or South Somerset at any stage and want to fine tune things in those areas, PM me your route and I'll be happy to suggest routes that may fit.

Sat 24 for me (weather depending). Riders will open for coffee and window shopping and the clocks won't have gone back.

Sun 18 is 'Hoggin the Bridge'. Many hundreds of bikes over the old Severn Bridge. Cult event.

The route will be:-

It should take us about three and a half hours riding time.There's plenty of good pubs along the way for a lunch stop

My preferred date is Saturday 24th but I'll leave the poll open a bit longer.

Mr P, can't now make the 18th so please change my date preference to Saturday 24th, an earlier start the better for me - SWMBO has things planned for later in the p.m.

looks right up my street.. beautiful route right through my hood.. ....
whats the final decision on the date.??
cheers.

Executive decision time.........Sat 24th.

Meet at Riders of Bridgwater - coffee, chat and look/puke at the Hardleys - to leave at 10.00.

Ride out pace will not be 125 friendly, but neither will you need your kneesliders.

Do peeps want a pub lunch or just coffee stops?

I'll be there, and count me in for a coffee and cake stop or two

[Gimlet]

Coffee stops will do for me. Less champing, more riding. But I'll go with the flow.

My forecast shows showers early Saturday morning and dry Sunday.

Suggest, if weather crap Sat but better Sun do it Sunday???? As per usual we'll keep a watch on the weather and I'll make a call Friday evening

[Gimlet]

Sunday looking much better. Shame Riders will be shut and we won't be able to go inside and drink all their coffee and say rude things about the Fartly Dreadfulsons.
