Oxfordshire tomorrow?
OliilO - 26/7/14 at 05:08 PM

Anyone around the Oxford/Abingdon/Didcot area fancy a bit of a run out earlyish tomorrow morning?

I'm thinking of something along the lines of Didcot - Wantage - Tidworth - Andover - Wantage - Didcot to incorporate some decent roads, although open to other ideas.

Would of done but I'm going to the silverstone classic tomorrow,maybe another time regards Ian


OliilO - 26/7/14 at 06:59 PM

No worries, should be a good day out.

I'm away next week, but would be keen for a few evening runs over the next couple of weeks to make the most of the weather.


motivforz - 26/7/14 at 08:02 PM

Would do but can't this time around, next time!

Can do some evening runs out towards the back end of Aug, car's off the road for the next 2 weeks.

Next time out, swing past Brize and give us a lift. I've forgotten what it's like to be out in a completed car!

Regards Dan.

I'll give you a shout if I'm out that way...

Cracking, if slightly lonely, run this morning.

Only spoilt by having a cycle wing come loose after 5 miles requiring a quick trip back home before restarting.

Some great roads with a minimum of slow sections and didn't get held up once on the decent sections of road. Definitely keen to repeat it in the future...

This Sunday looks like it may be dry now, if anyone is keen for something similar to that mentioned above.

I'm a couple of miles South of Oxford if this ever happens again


motivforz - 8/8/14 at 06:14 PM

Does anybody fancy a run-out on Sunday morning from Didcot / Wantage?

Not planned a route yet so happy to modify to suit others.


OliilO - 8/8/14 at 07:54 PM

Bit optimistic?! Currently the forecast looks atrocious...

If its dry, I'll be going down to the Wilton supercar day and would be keen for a bit of a blat in that direction.

You weren't out last night around Didcot/Wantage by any chance? Saw a couple of 7s whilst out around 2000ish.


motivforz - 8/8/14 at 09:49 PM

No, wasn't out last night I'm afraid.

Always a realist - prefer to stay dry but will get wet!Will keep an eye on the weather and see tomorrow night.


benedwards64 - 8/8/14 at 09:57 PM

If it's dry I'd be up for this, if you don't mind the newby showing up? I'm 3-4 miles south of Oxford so Didcot area is no issue


motivforz - 8/8/14 at 09:59 PM

I'm a newbie myself so no worries on that front!


benedwards64 - 8/8/14 at 10:18 PM

Ah, that's ok then

Ok, I'll check back tomorrow and see what's what


motivforz - 9/8/14 at 06:15 PM

Now that we're within that 24 hours forecasting, it looks like as OliilO predicted weather is carp in the morning, but clearing up in the afternoon.

Anyone interested in an optimistic drive about 3pm?


OliilO - 9/8/14 at 06:21 PM

I'll be at Wilton until late afternoon.

Could be tempted for a quick hour out at around 1900 if it's still dry. I've got a reasonable loop from Didcot out towards Benson/Wallingford that's got a few decent roads on it. Open to suggestions though...

Oli


benedwards64 - 9/8/14 at 06:42 PM

I'm around all of tomorrow doing household DIY, so an hour or so out at either 3 or 7 would be nice. No preferences really, depends on you guys and the weather really


motivforz - 9/8/14 at 10:29 PM

I can't do an evening run I'm afraid, have to be back before 6pm. Weather looks to be clearing up for our area all afternoon though, so probably best towards the evening.

I'm going to check the car over tomorrow lunchtime, then probably head out at 3pm ish. Anyone else is welcome along, or if anyone can lead a route that would be good! I'll be following my nose, i.e. getting lost


benedwards64 - 10/8/14 at 03:43 PM

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to bail. Just been informed the inlaws are coming for dinner. Apparently this is something I need to be present at!


benedwards64 - 11/8/14 at 09:03 PM

Finally managed a nice blat out this evening fromm Oxford down to Wallingford and back. Really need to sort my suspension out! Did anyone make it out yesterday in the end?


motivforz - 11/8/14 at 09:30 PM

Ventured out but quickly in again as the weather turned. Went for a proper drive this evening on the way home, after 2 weeks away the car felt like an old slipper, rough as but comfortable and familiar!

Perhaps another attempt at an organised run this Sunday?


OliilO - 14/8/14 at 10:43 AM

Saturday morning looks the best day for this weekend if anyone else is keen to make a run happen.


OliilO - 15/8/14 at 06:25 PM

It's still looking sunny... Don't fail me, an earlyish run and you can still be back in time to keep the Mrs/children/dog/pet tortoise happy.

Would suggest a shortened loop of what was proposed previously if people are busy, or can be extended to the full loop as desired. Milton interchange BP garage at 0730? Or is that too early?


motivforz - 15/8/14 at 10:24 PM

Can't do Saturday as we've got visitors. Sorry!
