Salisbury Plain Ride...Aug B/H Monday.
 

Anyone up for a Plain Ride-out!!

I'm out on the Bank Holiday Monday (30th),all the range byways (apart from Imber) will be open,so who's up for it.

The ride will be suitable for road based tyres/novice off-roaders by sticking to the gravel tracks,but if very dry then we could try a few others if the riders are feeling confident.

Mind you ....It is a B/H weekend,so it will be wet!!

I'm away on holiday from Sat 21st to Sat 28th,so I will sort out the main details before I go,and any bits and bobs can be sorted on Sunday the 29th.

Numbers will be a max of ten including me and only XT660 forum members please.

Edit...Meeting time-9.00am to be away by 9.30am (hope this is o.k.,loads to see) at the Countess Services on the A303.

Post code-SP4 7AS

The entrance to the services is fifty yards up the East bound carrage way of the A303 from the roundabout.

There is a cafe on site and the first byway is two miles away.

Me! I'm in, thank you. Are you the leader?

I'm down Keinton Mandeville on Fri through Sun 29th. Might be able to swing another night and join in the fun.Wont know until that w/end though.When do you need confirmation by for numbers.Graham.

Yes,I'll be leading.:icon_thumright:

I'll put you down on the list Graham,hope you can make it.

Me Me Me Please!!!

95% sure... will be en-route back from Dorset to Derby on Monday anyway, just waiting to hear from the friends we're visiting for the weekend. Unless they've got something special planned for Monday morning I'm in!

:icon_thumleft::icon_thumleft: Great to have you along.

I am new to the forum but I would like to put my name down for a bit Salisbury plane action if that is ok.
Matt skinner.

Thats fine by me.:icon_lol:

Looks like a popular day!! It's going to be fun, and good to meet you forum members...:applause:

Pencil me in please Tomsdad, I'm supposed to have my mum visiting for the day, but will see if I can rearrange.

Will do.:icon_thumright:

I up for it, count me in

And rub me out please. Sorry but can't shift the motherly visit.

FFS man, sort your priorities out. :D

Will be a shame not to see you. I shall have to make careful notes for future reference.

Sorted Ricky.

Never mind.....I'll give you a shout next time.

Edit on first post ref start time!

I've now got all day free on the Monday,so we don't need to start so early as I won't be rushing off just after lunch time.:yahoo:

So what do you reckon....meet at 9.00am and away by 9.30am so to give those traveling/want a breakfast a bit more time.

The route will not be set on stone so if anybody want's to bail out at any time during the day,It wont be a problem.

One more little point....There will be plenty fuel stops during the day if needed,so the XTZ riders don't need to lug a full tank around.

I'll post up my contact details on Sunday the 29th and don't forget,I'll be off line from Sat 21st until late on Sat 28th.

Cheers,
Andy.

Sounds good to me, I like to fall off with a full stomach

It is a couple of hours ride there, so 9 is much better!
Matt, if you want to meet around Horsham for the ride there/back pm me. I was thinking A272 or A272-A31 route.

Andy I have emptied my PM box so try again

Rick (and anybody else who's coming from the South-West A303)....If you want to meet up a bit before and do a few lanes to the Countess Services then let me know.....
The place I had in mind was-

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X...8885&ay=138264

These lanes are not suitable for road tyres and are not on the main ride-out route.

Cheers,
Andy

Crossed post....It just about meeting up on the way.

Hi Andy

I would like to put my name down as a maybe at present.

Mark

Matt and I are arriving in convoy, ...see you at 9.

Nice one Mark,I hope you can make it.

Have a good trip over guy's.

Do i need a bash-plate/sump guard for this? Looking forward to the outing guys.....

I very much doubt it check out the photos of my bike in photos and video's the Beacons section of a couple of photos by Jasxt, no bash plate on mine

Great...saves some hassle...

You will easily recognise me...I am not in the latest, designer off-road kit....

gasp........

Sorry but I can't make the rideout as I am moving home on the following Wednesday.

Enjoy!

Shame you can't make it.....have as good a move- house as is possible/expected!

Rick ....OK to meet at about 8.00am as it should take about an hour to reach the meeting point.

Any problems then you can reach me on.....07817492380,if not then see you all Monday.

Best of luck with the move Mark.

hey...you're back......welcome!

No bash plate needed.

Full armour? I think I will.....

OK with me. Ignore my PM crossed post before I read this

The weather is looking good....still room for a couple more:ne1:.

I'll see the rest of you in the morning.

Cheers,
Andy.
