I propose we start at H cafe in Oxford, www.h-cafe.co.uk/ then to Loomies Cafe Alton, www.loomies.co.uk/about.htm, then to Rykas cafe, www.boxhill.co.uk/information/where.htm

Some good roads to be had with plenty of brew stops.

What you guys think?

how does this look for a route?

shall we set a date and time?

How about Sunday 5 May 13 at 1100 hrs?

Oxford is miiiles from me

So do what the southerners did last year set a meet point and all ride together. I think there was 5 of us on the ride to Hinckley last year before we met all the others.

It was a great day last year.

This is looking to be a good day. One thing, if we meet at the H Cafe at 1100 it's probably going to be busy so we'll have to have some way of recognising each other. I think I can remember how metbandit1 looks, plus he'll be on a triple with arrow cans, but I popped down there the other weekend and it was heaving with bikes.

Good point, what I will do is print some maps of, of the route and stick them on my screen. Will have an OCUK logo clearly marked. My bike is a 62 plate triple black GSA.

Yep no change, as per 1st post. Weather looks good as well, can't wait.

Great ride out, was good showing the sports bikes how to go fast, love eddies 675, wish I was a foot shorter and 7 stone lighter.

Looking forward to the vids.

Sorry can't remember your name but the brummy on the badit hope you got some good stuff of me.

I had too, in order to catch you guys after leaving the H.. I got stuck at that roundabout when leaving the cafe so I gave it a fistfull to catch up, wobbled all the way down to the 2nd roundabout

Did any of you hear the 'pop pop bang pop bang pop pop' as I cought up? It gave off some serious over-run as I dropped the throttle as we approached shillingford.

What was your bike.

Erm, bit close, both lucky, at least everyone got home, they did didn't they?

As others have said the pace was far from fast, and we never pushed anyone to keep up, nor did we lose anybody, at every junction we would wait for everyone to regroup.

Oh and all these near misses happened when dsb was leading not me.... haha

Passing the buck!!!

Neither incident was a result of group riding, both rider error, either a lack of concentration or misjudgement. The pace was fine, maps and postcodes were given at he start so nobody HAD to keep up. I did not see a single person in the group pushing anyone else or riding like a tool. And all in, other than a bit of geographical embarrassment (fireskulls fault) I think we all had a great day.

Getting us to within 20 miles was good enough I thought?!? and even then your gps delivered us to a field
