A few SE Beers regulars want to ride to Bournemouth at the end of July... so at the honorable request of Iain Chainbreaker Esq, here's a thread for anyone else who want's to tag along.
Please have a read the following blurb...
Self-sufficiency
Bring tools, spare tubes, appropriate clothes, plenty of food and water, lights, batteries, etc. Familiarise yourself with the route, swap numbers before departing, and charge your phone. Eat/drink little and often.
Check your bike
Give it a look over before the ride – tighten, inflate, oil, kiss, and make sure it’s roadworthy.
Road etiquette
Try to remain vigilant on the country lanes, especially when navigating blind corners. Let others know when you are slowing or coming past, and for the benefit of those behind you, call out or point at hazards such as potholes and cars. If you have a puncture, mechanical or drop off the back, call out to those in front to wait, and unless they hate you, they’ll pass the message forward.
Thanks due to The Brick(Tommy) for much of the route
