Dorset/Purbecks ride anyone??

[makster]

I could be interested for a ride but is modern mtb is allowed for this? if retro mtb is prefered then I will have to pass and will be cool about it.

You can ride what you want I've only been on a couple of retro rides and there has been a mix of retro and modern on both

Hoping to get out with Lumos2000 on Sunday to look at some routes.
Popped into lbs yesterday and the owner may come along too, and has been mentioning the ride to any customers bringing in retro rides

Is that an LBS in Poole Makster?

I met a bloke on the sky ride who asked to take a photo of my RC200 and said he had a mate who was organising a retro ride in the dorset area in october. Also said the chap was a member of this site.

He gave me his card but I cant remember his name off the top of my head.

He's truing the wheels on my Alpinestars at the mo, so I'll ask him if it was him when I pick it up

I should visit this section more often

The chap in question is John, he took the picture of the sweet RC200 posted it up on Facebook for my attention.(Very nice )
I've been trying to sort out a free weekend for an age to get a retro ride together...had a post all typed up then spotted this thread. :roll:

Not a problem as the more the merrier I've had the nod from around 15 members, so it's looking like it going to be a very social ride

I can also help if people are wanting to make a weekend of it.
My olds run a great B&B and can do top rates for retro bikers. pm if interested.

Did a comprehensive reccy of the beer garden of The Bankes Inn

Quiet day in the world of x-ray service today, so I headed over the Purbecks to try a few different routes.
Got lost a few times, but stumbled across some great trails

Here are some pics from today, to whet the appetite

View from the top

This one is for Heathy! Its the view from within Fort Henry. Churchill, King George VI, General Sir Bernard Montgomery, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower have all stood here, to watch D-Day preperations
