Count me in. 1 night stop is fine. My problem is I finish Saturdays work at around 12 midday so I guess you'll have departed 4 or 5 hours before. I don't mind riding on my own and pick you up at the end of the day and SUnday all together. :thumbup:


Can you book any holiday days? we don't have to do it over a weekend. would be good to all ride together.
Has anyones got any dates in mind? its all up for discussion.
perhaps we could arrange a ride at thorndon or langdon one sunday in the near future then all round to my bar after and put our ideas together.

I also prefer to ride all together. I can't book holidays until next year. My holiday period are from 1st April to 31st March. Anyway, I get 3 days off Sat, Sunday and Monday every 6 weeks but there will be changes in the rota late this year and I don't know the weekends off for next year yet.

Breadcrumbs? Perfect! Then I don't need to rush to get on time for pizza :lol:

I have looked into b&b's in and around the the half way mark and I think the sooner we can decide on a date then I think the best way would be people Booking their own accomadation.
I've also be told of a youth hostle that's at about 64 miles from Winchester. If we can get there on day one I'm told it leaves the best bit and only 34 miles to Eastbourne.
Anyone mind youth hostles?

Long time since I was a youth :roll: :roll: :roll: got no problems staying in these places, just to shower and sleep anyway, sure we can then locate the nearest pup and pizza delivery :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And security for bikes... another consideration if we'd be planning on leaving the hostel for 'refreshments'

Leave some back with the bikes to protect them, armed with a few multiple tools and track pumps for effect 

Just checked out the youth hostle and it's 14.50 + 3.00 daily membership fee.
I put in a date of may 20th which is a Sunday and they have space for a large group in a dorm.
Can those who are serious about doing this, come forward with some dates?

Long way to May. I can't confirm any date until next year. I'll try and see if I can make it

I'm off the weekend of the 19th and 20th, bit staying overnight on the Sunday does that mean you want to do it Sunday/Monday instead?
