Ride-out procedures

Drop-off system

 

Ride-outs are great for catching up with members, honing riding skills, or just enjoying the ride, scenery and destination. Whatever your bag, the variety of rides means there ’s something in a ride-out for you.

 

All Members and Associates (and pillions!) are welcome. If you’re an Associate and wondering whether a ride is suitable for you, feel free to contact the ride Leader to chat about it.

 

BEWSC is the Birdseye Walls Social Club: the place where most (but not all) ride-outs start. Go to the end of Hammond Way in Gloucester and you’ll find riders gathering in the Social Club car park. Or check out this map.

 

For each ride, we produce reports which are published in the Journal. Extracts are also provided in the diary section here in PDF. We also file pictures from a run in the diary section. Where possible, we record the route in Garmin GPS v2 format, and produce a map of this too.

Rideout Pete's Favourite Welsh Bits. "Medium level” and this means riding up to the speed limit when appropriate, other times the views and the landscape may take priority. Overtaking again when appropriate, not the priority. Distance for the ride around 150 miles with two major stops for refreshment plus one fuel stop. All riders turn up at the start of the ride with a full tank of fuel, a drink and maybe a bite to eat if they don’t fancy buying café/burger van food. Start at BEWSC. Meet at 0900hrs, depart at 0915hrs prompt.    
24-26th Sept

 

 

Di’s memorial run My annual trip back to Cumbria. I will be going and if anyone would like to come with me then great. Please let me know if you intend to go that way I can arrange everything with Andrea and Kevin at the Lymehurst.

Long weekend away in a caravan? 5 caravans have been booked on a campsite in Hamble, HAMPSHIRE for 4 nights. The caravans are really modern and have central heating etc. We have booked 5 caravans with the idea of putting 4 persons in each (loads of space) - total of 20 places available. Now this is the brilliant bit.....the cost. It is £50 per person (£12.50 per night per person). NOW FULLY BOOKED.
