I know some people on here haven't started got their bikes yet, but I guess we can add to this thread as time goes on. Just a bit of forward planning for the summer months when I intend to spend every afternoon that I'm not in my convertible on the bike.
Anyway, just wondering what people's fav places to ride to are. I always prefer riding to/from somewhere rather than just aimlessly round so here are a couple of mine and why:
Fowlers, Bristol - from where I live it's a good choice of a mainly city-road route or across the mendips, so a nice mixed ride then plenty to look at when you get there. always a carpark full of bikes on a saturday, they do a good cup of coffee for 80p, and the shop is great to wander round
Red Lion pub, amesbury - starting to be a bit of a police magnet, but this is an ultimate biker pub and it's fun watching the slightly more adventurous people do their wheelies down the road to the side. good biking atmosphere and nice roads to/from there (although quite a few mobile coppers lately)
Poole Harbour - for the weekly bike meets - biggest regular bike meet I've been to with literally hundreds of bikes to look at - nice long ride down and a very good night out
will add to this as I remember the names of more places :P
quick pic of the red lion on a quiet day hehe:
