ashloh Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi guys, been riding for a year now and it's always been a solitary affair. I've never minded this but I am wandering what all the fuss is about when it comes to this riding as a pack stuff. Is there anyone in the berskhire area that is in the same situation, or know of anyone organising meets in this area?I'm hoping someone can open my eyes to the big wide World of biking, or at least make some biker friends in the area!

Paul Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi mate and welcome to the forum. If you cant get any local riders to go out with as a group look for the Ace Cafe run down to Brighton! Group riding at it's extreme! 100.000 or so leave the Ace and head down to Brighton sea front for it's annual ride out! You tube it and see what it's like!

ashloh Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Maybe we should organise a weekend where we can all meet up. Generally I am free every other weekend, however My boss has decided that all the guys in our department should mix things up a bit and swap some of our shifts around. Basically at the moment I don't know which weekends I'm going to be free, but I should find out by next week some time. Is weekends best for you guys?

Ellis Dee Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm in Newbury and would be well up for a Berkshire Blat!Gis a shout if anyone sorts it out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 There are a few Patch clubs and MCC groups in the area. Ones I know of are: 81, Mohawk Brotherhood, Thames Valley Vultures and Thames Vale Vultures.Both Vulture groups are very open and friendly, not saying that the others aren't but I have personal experience of both vulture groups.Otherwise, I'd be up for an independent ride-out, as i live 2 mins from M4 J12.

Mawsley Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 am wandering what all the fuss is about when it comes to this riding as a pack stuff. Can't stand riding in groups. There's too many people who are clueless as to how to do it safely and IME people end up riding faster & out of their comfort zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1 Chickie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I live in Bracknell (someone has to), so if you fancy a spin just PM me. Its great running around there, doing the Windsor Great Park, Bracknell Forest, Marlow, Henley route is a really pretty ride with great stops and good roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloh Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have the week off from the 29th of Aug. I guess it depends on the weather, but I was thinking of taking a ride down to the coast. I haven't made any solid plans yet so if any of you guys have time for a ride out let me know when your free, I'm flexible, but would rather it wasn't wet (not that you can plan for that).Also if anyone has any ideas as to specific locations I'm all ears!

Ninereeds Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Guys,I'm pretty close to Bracknell too (unfortunately). I don't have a bike to ride (yet) but when i do ill post back in here or send some PMs out, but i thought id give you a heads up that:There is a bike meet every tuesday at the Stag and Hounds pub in binfield. My instructor told me about it and said to come on down when i get a bike, or even before if i felt like it. not sure on time, but maybe something for you guys to look into if you want to meet up with some possibly like minded people!
