Hampshire Foccers
« on: 29 April 2013, 07:42:03 pm »
I'm organising a ride-out to Ryka's Cafe (Box Hill) leaving from Wickham Square at 10am on Saturday the 4th of May, possibly along with various people from the Hampshire Bikers and South Coast Motorbike society.

 The route would be up the A32 (possibly with a quick stop at Loomies to pick up anyone who wants to start from there) then along the A272 to Midhurst, up the A29 and A24 to Ryka's.
 
 From there, we'd go up Zig-Zag Road, back down to the A24 and A29 before turning off onto the B2126 and B2127 to reach the A286, heading down to Midhurst again to take the A272 back to Loomies.
 
 The total distance would be around 130 miles and we'd finish around 3pm (allowing an hour for eating). There will be a fuel stop after Ryka's for anyone who needs it.
 
 Note that I'll be leading this in a fairly progressive way (ie getting on with it, making full use of national speed limits and taking overtakes when safe and possible), so please ensure that you're comfortable with this. (But also note that I will *not* be thrashing, blatting or hooning!)
 
 Depending on numbers, I may also be using the Marker System (Second Man Drop-off), so if anyone's not familiar with that, please say and I'll post a couple of links explaining how it works.
 
 If you're interested, post here...

Hey Grahamm i know some of the London Foccers are coming down to Whiteways cafe and then onto Rykers on the 5th, Is there any chance of you putting it back a day? Or maybe doing the Sunday too?
I'd love to meet up as your itinery looks great  but not sure i can manage the Saturday.

Thats a shame as I've already made plans for this weekend on the bike.

Correction to my previous post.

Someone from the Southampton Group has said that Sunday would be ok, so how does 11am at Wickham Square on the Sunday sound?

Don't forget your Foccer salute if we see each other heading in opposite directions.  :lol
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Thinking about joining up with the rideout - are you guys still planning on stopping off at Loomies to pick people up?
