At least the forecast says its going to be a mild with temps up to 12°c with the possibility of the odd shower in our neck of the woods.

So how about we meet up in Newbury at Maccy Ds for 10:30, then head over to George Whites at Swindon, from there we will head over to H-Cafe for a late lunch, I'm sure I can workout a interestiing route

Unless people are worried about catching the results of the Valencia Moto GP on the big TV over the counter of GWs Cafe, then we will have to head off soewhere else

Hello Kev,

Look forward to it, see you at McD's Newbury, 10:30am.

Regards,

James

I just need to decide which bike to take to the fuel station first thing in the morning

Glorious sunshine up this way, should be a nice day for a ride out, think I'll be needing the tinted visor

I hate you all

Had a cracking day out with some good company, the little 750SSie did well, although the suspension could do with a tweek, bit to stiff on the road and many of the roads were really bumpy and the lock to lock pot hole induced tank slapper was a bit uncalled for,

Did Newbury to Wantage via the 338, then on to Lambourn and across to Watchfield to pick up the A420 into Swindon, Lunch and a look round at GWs before heading back up the A420 to Faringdon then headed back across to Wantage, and on to Rowstock (Why was that car drifting over on to the wrong side of the road and heading for me -TO55ER)
Then Across the downs witha decent run this time and ended up back at H-Cafe, Excellent road conditions for a November rideout

Your'e not wrong, some of those bumps had me jumping all over the place. Perhaps we should have slowed down (silly idea). Regarding your tankslapper, it looked spectacular, until I hit exactly the same pothole - hell's bells!

Excellent day out with a good range of bikes and, as always, great company!

Can I squeeze another ride out to Popham next week?..........

Regards,

James
