stum450n Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Hi guys, I was thinking that since we're not having an 'official meet' this month that, by way of recompense and as a good way of getting to know a few of the new members we now have, we could have a mini meet/drive out taking in a few of the awesome roads that are on offer around here... We will be meeting at the usual spot - The Harvester in Kidlington at 11:30am and then rather than stopping for something to eat, we will be traveling in convoy through the lanes along past Finstock to Leafield where, for anyone who hasn't been lucky enough to go down there before, there's a fantastic single track road running up along the edge of Wychwood. From there we'll be taking the B4437 down into Burford with is a REALLY fun bit of road! From there we will take the B4425 - a real favourite with bikers as it's a nice twisty road but with plenty of visibility! We'll be following that down to Bibury and stop there for a chance for everyone get some photos of the cars etc... nothing too set in stone, just a chance to take stock, catch up and maybe grab a drink etc From here on is the return leg where we'll head up past Cirencester and work our way up the twisties along the A436 back towards the A40 and onwards to Oxford where we can all make our way to where we need to be. This will be a fantastic run and takes in some of the best roads that Oxfordshire and The Cotswolds have to offer BUT because we can't go upsetting the locals and drawing any negative attention towards the club, I'm going to have to limit this one to an absolute maximum of 10 cars on a first come, first served basis so get your names down!!! Link to route on Google Maps This is not a race and I will call things off if anyone starts playing silly buggers (not that you lot will do I'm sure) but as I said, it should make for a really enjoyable drive and a great opportunity to make the most out of the cars we have! Cheers, Stu Names on the list please! 01. Stu 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10.

gc8-r Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 can you work out how many miles this is.... might need a truck behind me.......... mine only does,.....not many miles on a tank
stum450n Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 can you work out how many miles this is....might need a truck behind me.......... mine only does,.....not many miles on a tank 73.5 miles round trip - Kidlington to Kidlington but as we're not all going back there, it'll most likely work out less!

stum450n Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 now there was 6.......dont think these villages will forget us..... and in my case the petrol stations I think they're use to it round here mate, especially along the B4425, any time I've been down there they pull over to the side of the road to let you pass!
gc8-r Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 you aint seen me driving.... i'll be pulling over for them its my age thats done it..

stum450n Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 you aint seen me driving....i'll be pulling over for them its my age thats done it.. At least you'll be able to use your pension to get more mods soon enough though mate! As I said, there's going to be no excessive speed mate, just a nice leisurely run... and maybe the odd three point turn or four when I loose my bearings! Don't want to jinx it but it's looking as though the weather won't be bad either! Bonus!
gc8-r Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 And it's my birthday weekend 36 young years lol!!!! 36 years old.....now you make me feel young thats old i'll be in a rover by 36 as we have oap's coming along, i'll put the bung in the exhaust so it's not to loud

stum450n Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 quick one i'll have to say wont make this as not worked all week so no cash left........ so hope you all have a nice day chris That's a shame mate but not to worry. I'm planning to hook up the camera to the car so I'll be putting together a vid for all those who can't make it. Hope you have a good weekend despite feeling the pinch! The weather should be good at least!
