We are back, the first EOM ride-out post Covid and the weather is looking good!
On offer for your pleasure courtesy of Andy Palmer, is a jaunty cheeky ride into Surrey and Hampshire.

There are no restrictions on how many can join, but we would still ask that you please register by sending an email to aspalm600@gmail.com, this so we may still undertake ‘track and trace’.

RIDE DETAILS

Sunday 29th August 8.00 am.
Meet at Costa’s at Pease Pottage Services,
M23 Junction 11 (A23), Brighton Road, Crawley, RH11 9YA

Pre-Ride briefing is 8:15 and departure shortly after.
Arrive early if you want a pre-ride cuppa.

To ease us back in I will host about a 6 hour run out west and return.

Please arrive by 08:00. Please start with a full tank of fuel. Fuel is available at the start point but it is rather expensive so you may be better to fill up on your way to the start, and then top up at the start if you feel you need to. The first stage of the run to our only stop at Alton Station Cafe is about 65-70 miles. There is a fuel stop just after we depart from Alton, prior to our 80 ish mile return leg. If you have a range of 180 + miles you should be fine without refuelling.

As mentioned our stop is Alton Station Cafe, a popular bikers haunt but without the huge crowds of Loomies, Box Hill, Bury Hill etc. Many will no doubt have stopped there in the past.

It is surrounded by some great roads, which brings me to the route. We will travel out on some of the more minor roads and lanes in West Sussex/Hants to our stop. After the stop and refuel, we will ride some lovely quicker and flowing roads in Hants before our return leg on as different a route as possible.

I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday. Andy Palmer

** Remember please you will need to have had your Initial Assessment Ride with an Instructor to attend club activities. **

One of the riders will need to Back-Mark so any volunteer for this please advise the ride leader when you register for the ride, if you have an orange Hi-Viz please bring it with you, or one may be provided on the day, or given the limited size of the group and alternative marker may be agreed.

*COVID* All Club Ride-Outs are governed by current government Covid19 restrictions. If within 10 days after attending the ride you subsequently become ill or test positive then please notify the club via email ‘committee@southernriders.org‘

Back-Marker System: Please make sure you are fully conversant with the rules of the “BACK-MARKER SYSTEM“. Following these correctly is vital to the smooth running of the day & reduces the risk of losing someone or everyone. Details of the BM system are on our Southernriders.org website. If you’re unsure on the day, ask one of the attending Ride Leader. They will be more than happy to clarify any issues you have.

Hi-Viz: If you wear hi-viz, please ensure it is not Orange as this is reserved for the ‘back-marker’ during our ride-outs. We appreciate you may normally wear an orange hi-viz whilst riding. However, some found it confusing when in the middle of the group to see two or more riders with the orange hi-viz.
So, in an effort to avoid confusion and markers leaving their post prematurely ONLY the back-marker to wear orange hi-viz.

Thank you
