Mr Rankin Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hey there people, as im sure many of you are aware the combination of two Bank Holiday weekends and a royal wedding have provided us workers with some much needed time off. I have grabbed the opportunity with both hands and taken of 3 week days between the bank holidays and now have 11 days off work WHOOPA! I am planning on riding the following locations in that time; Portland Bristol Stoke (the roaches) Blackpool Gateshead 3sixty park and anywhere on the way! seeing as these places are at either ends of the UK im not sure what order to do them in.....or perhaps any amazing places i could go en route. Will be hoping to meet up with locals in each area or if anyone fancies coming along for the ride you are more than welcome (not in my car as its full already) The dates i plan to go between are; Friday 22 April to Monday 2 of May any comments or suggestions are welcome as this is the early stage of planning and nothing is set in stone Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The quarry at Portland is only closed on sundays. so if possible organise that ride for a sunday Im game for that ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Good shout....portland is the main priority for me, have never been and looks like so much fun! Butcher....your shit! Cant even snowboard without popping your shoulder hahah mug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Could spend 2 days at portland and do the quarries one day and the bill another? Dartmoor is also good but might be a bit far out of your way? Could do it between portland and bristol. Its about 2 hours between portland and bone hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rankin Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Right, have a slightly revised plan for the roadtrip seeing as most if not all of the riders interested are from way down south. So here goes.... Portsmouth/Southsea = saturday 23rd April Portland = Sunday and monday 24th/25th April Dartmoor = Tuesday 26th April Bristol = Wednesday 27th April Will be hoping to crash over on peoples floors for a couple of the nights if anyone is willing to help, failing that plan its gonna be holiday Inns This is a "More the merrier" Roadtrip so please get stuck in!

Rob Brodie Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Bit of a bump! Tom im sitting out on pompey because of holidaying in the new forest so seems pointless me riding pompey when i do so often, Im planing on doing both days at portland then dartmoor on tuesday then heading home, Reckon we could sort out a romantic night in a travelodge for monday evening?
