A_T, Miler(? - Green ZX6R) and FireBlade rider - sorry for the confusion after we took the wrong exit at the r'about outside Dorchester. I shot ahead to see whether I could catch up with the rest to find out whether we had indeed goofed or not, I stopped when it was obvious that we were on the wrong route and was going to suggest we double back. When you all carried on past me I assumed someone knew something I didn't...
In the end I decided to leave you along the dual carriageway to try and find my own way back upto Crewkerne - no offence intended, apologies if it seemed that way

I ended up going to Bridport before picking up a road to take me North; miraculously I managed to catch up with everyone at Crewkerne

Good ride and good to meet a few people.

Only took a few photos and they did not come out very well here's a couple of not too bad ones:

Taking over the bike park at Weymouth:

And I reckon this one is ripe for a caption competition!

excellent day - my first SWB rideout - loved it

I think there were about 27 of us in total - shame we lost AT & Miler

wondered where you were ... that must have been at the roundabout where some silly girl parked in the middle of it

Lovely roads on the way back - that route was suggested by Billinom8s - good choice - and Speedy, thanks for leading today

Definitely going to have to figure a way of bribing the babysitters so I can get out on some more rideouts now

2nd time of going on a rideout to weymouth and I still rode on my own

(A_T for company on way up and also on way back with Alex & snakep?)

No worries Alex we did see some unusual hand signals, and i thought you was taking us up some strange lane

i think those traffic lights were red

Also thanks guys for digging deep to raise some money for cancer research uk towards me running the London marathon next sunday ........... total of £30.77

And the dithering on the approach was pretty pathetic to - I must have rolled off and on the throttle 3 times before finally making a decision

Didn't realise you were collecting for the run, have a mate running (who has successfully fleeced me) he'll be wearing a white t-shirt and his name is Andy if you see him

miler · Post by **miler** » Apr 16th, '06, 20:07

I didnt dither, just followed you

ok if i see Andy in white shirt i will mention you

I will be in red vest with Gary on shirt

Mate you missed a good one. AT and Miller might not agree though. Need to do something about marking roundabouts and junctions me thinks

gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one Guys and Gals...

We really need to sort out the junction marking though.

It works really well if everybody is prepared to take a turn, as soon as someone decides not to, then it goes to sh!t.

I waited at the Crewkerne turnoff for around 10 minutes (which meant I spent the next 5-6 minutes on my own...

) but it was all in vain because no-one had dropped off before me and people were already lost.

Anyway...Thanx to Jak for picking up the ball (dropped by Georgie...

) and arranging today...

Thanx to Speedy for leading at a nice steady pace...

Thanx to Billinom8s (Simon) for an excellent return route...

Well done to the 27 bikers that turned up for a smashing day...
