Hey all planning on heading out for a ride tomorrow morning for an early morning ride. Heading off from bridge at 7:30 and heading east over to Sandbanks and over the ferry then will stop for breakfast.

Pace will be medium to quick and making progress.

If your interested get your name down be great to see you.

Thanks for posting a ride Rob
Unfortunately I'm otherwise engaged all weekend....when the sun is out

See you there.

Now remember - the throttle works both ways. You can only do one speed awareness course

On that note folks - be aware on the A35 tomorrow that Herr Plod and his magic camera (the one that converts your hard-earned into his retirement fund) will be about. Favourites are the Bridport by-pass and anywhere leading up to and along Askers Moor. Another current favourite is unmarked cages, mostly silver or light grey.
Most truckers know the A35/A31 as the 'Longest lane in England'. Personaly, I'll be heading in exactly the opposite direction tomorrow and staying off the trunk roads so have fun guys, but ride safe and n.i.p. free.

Thanks for the heads up

Also,if you get pulled for speeding in Dorset you have to go back to Dorset to take the course etc.

My course last year was via teams and had people from all over the country on it.

I did mine online and went through Glos force as they were the cheapest

Thanks to Rik, Duncan and Nick who made it out with me. Was a great ride out and got some clear roads on the way out but on the way back the traffic was out in full force and got a bit of a pain just filtering through stuff to get back. But a great Breakfast and a good chat between the ride and all worked well. and..... The sun was out
