I'm up for it if conditions are dry and clean. Don't want to go mud wrestling. Hopefully it will turn dry and cold soon.....

If you're just doing part of the ride, from West Bay say, so am I and am aiming to leave Robbo Towers for WB around 9-ish if you want to link up somewhere.

I would like to make this ride out, I'm about 40 miles from Wincanton on the edge of the New Forest so will probably meet you at Wincanton for the ride down and then make my own way home from West Bay. Depending on MOT outcome, I may be on something a little slow but know the way so happy to play catch up :lol:

Hi guys,

OK, so the weather is looking 50% OK and 50% crappy for next Sunday :|

As agreed before, we won't go if it looks like rain and will put it back a week...and so on until we (him?) gets it right.

Final decision to be made first thing on Saturday 9th and will post 'ere.

More news as it happens. :)

Checked the weather this morning for the route and it looks like we will be avoiding any rain.

So, as it stands at the moment, the rideout WILL be happening :wink:

Clearly this can change so will update on Saturday morning.

I'm out I'm afraid. Roads here are atrocious. Too much filth and standing water for me. Hope it gets colder and drier soon. Have a good one.
