Right then, people...
« on: 08 November 2013, 09:41:33 pm »
I'm out on the Fazer tomorrow from London, I've got all day to ride and I'd like to do a bit of A and B-road riding once I'm clear of the M40. So where do you recommend I go?

Turn around --------------back in the garage/shed/front room/bedroom and do it on Sunny Sunday

Miserable bastards  :) No recommendations? Back in the shed, are you sure? Bit hard living in a block of flats!

/\ infinity clothing opened a new store next to 'H's last week, go to the store today and join up for their club card (free) and you get a free brekkie at the cafe!
Some say...

Agreed, you're picking the wrong day. Tomorrow looks like pretty decent weather, so I'll probably take another look at the Charlbury TT, maybe pop the camera on the bike - still yet to put together a good loop that includes my favourite bits, but I need a decent local-ish ride for the nicer winter days. Possibly even pop down to H's too.

Bugger, bugger! Left home before this was posted and ended up over at Burnham after stopping at the Beaconsfield services to dry out! Left the services and took the next right down the twisty lanes and somehow ended up in Slough, think I might have passed Cliveden!After another drenching I made my way along the A4 and back into London.Tons of traffic but a great ride out if you don't mind hailstones and lashing rain on an open face helmet with balaclava  8) One positive is that I know for definite that my textile jacket is not waterproof!

Red98 - Cheers, that sounds like a good route, I might head over that way during the week.
