Weather is looking good. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ox10?day=1

See you at 10am! as long as it's not peeing it down in the morning.

Hope you all have a good day, weather looks average in the South but may well not rain!

I was a tentative, would have only met you guys on the way down South and tagged along for an hour or two, but I have my daughter this weekend (and no she hates motorbikes so no pillion option

) so my Dad duties are called upon

Ride safe guys!

I'm setting an alarm for it, can't guarantee I will make it but if my sat nav works I will!

I'm awake! Man I'm good at waking up.

Rich1988 · 5 Apr 2014 at 09:35

Hope you have a great day everyone. Bloody weather, why the hell didnt we jump ship and move everyone to Australia when we found it.

edd1e · 5 Apr 2014 at 14:24

Back home, shame we cut it short and the bike is filthy. At least we got out though.

Cheers for leading Agnes.

Griffo · 5 Apr 2014 at 14:33

Yeah good time. Weather wasn't overly terrible - I stayed dry anyway!

Now the dirty bike...

agnes · 5 Apr 2014 at 14:51

Yea, weather got a bit cack at some point. Nice and dry in Reading still though lol. Sorry for my GPS guys. At least I know the twistiest route option is a tad bit extreme I have dialled it back a little so hopefully won't have a repeat of it again lol.

Let's try again when the weather picks up

Now... Time to ride to Clapham with the gf on the back, panniers and top box

Nice to see some of you got out, it was raining all morning in Southampton :/

dsb · 5 Apr 2014 at 17:44

A good day, bike is filthy, maybe do a summer meet in a couple of months.

dangermouse425 · 5 Apr 2014 at 18:58

Sorry to hear the weather was rubbish. Can we do another one soon where I can join in the fun?

I'll start putting together another Midland meet if everybodys up for it.

Glad to hear everybody got back the same way they went out. :cool:

growse · 5 Apr 2014 at 19:37

Got back after taking a rather odd and interesting route via Amersham. Took leathers off and slept for 2.5 hours straight. I blame the cold

Good roads though, maybe avoid the ones without large hills of gravel running down the middle next time

I'd be up for doing that again when it's less crappy weather, would be up for a midlands run as well.

dangermouse425 · 6 Apr 2014 at 08:08

Home Counties meet, you midlands lot can come down south!
