BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

It looks like a reasonable day on Sunday with some sunshine.


I've decided to attempt one of "Ride" magazines local (to me) day routes.


Start and finish at the Hare & Hounds hotel in Newbury. The hotels postcode is RG14 1QY. It looks like it should take around 4 hours and is about 140 miles in total. I was going to set off from Newbury at 10am.


The GPX file can be downloaded from here .... https://www.ride.co.uk/routes-1/ride-guide-to-great-britain-2017  (you can also see a map of the route.)


Would be nice to see a few people from here if available. I have also posted this on Facebook RT groups so you never know, it might be a good turnout

I would have loved to join you Kevin (I still owe you a cup of tea!).


Unfortunately, I can't ride at the moment.

No problem John .... Hope it's nothing that keeps you off two wheels for too long?

I'm prepared to wait for my tea ..  :silence:

Have a safe ride, we have a yellow warning for snow and ice.

Thanks Kevin.


I'm having a new hip fitted on the 20th, so hope to be back on the bikes after a few weeks of recovery.


One of my goals will be to meet up and buy you that tea!

Would have come but suffering man flu. Am up for it next one.

It would have been interesting to have joined you, as I could have picked up at Stockbridge if it was anti-clockwise. Unfortunately my volunteering day with the disabled ski group at Aldershot. I'll look out for the next one, if it's this part of the country.
Have a safe one.

Have a great ride today
