Last post by Chris Hunt - April 27, 2018, 11:59:56 AM Meet at the Old Control Tower café at Goodwood circuit PO18 0PH from 09:00 for a 10:00 departure.
Please see attached revised GPX and ITN files as follows:·
The route is very mixed but mostly off of main 'A' roads. Some parts are quite rural and some mud and gravel can be expected in a few places. However if the weather is against us too much we can modify this on the day to cut out the "interesting" sections to the West of South Harting using file S1a which makes it shorter and rather less rural
We have an optional coffee stop at 'Tea on the Green' at Rowlands Castle PO9 6BN if we opt to complete the whole route.
Expected return time at Goodwood of appx. 14:30
So far we have 8 confirmed and a further 7 interested.
It would be nice to see a few more associates and new faces as this is a good opportunity to meet and get to know people.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday.

This is Mark Rowe USRCB
I have just spotted this on the forum and although i have attended a social run and last weekends Kempton to Reading bike run, i will introduce myself
I am still just about working as i own 3 companies but my boys are taking over slowly, so this gives me the time to come and enjoy riding with you all.
I have been riding since i was 8 years old, and have had so many bikes over the years, it would take too long to go through them
I currently ride a BMW S1000XR and my runabout is a Kawasaki ninga 650 which i may use on USR events as my BMW did not like the slow going on cycling events
I passed my IAM's advanced and advanced plus many years ago but have kept my skills up by observing for my local IAM's club, i was also chairman of the club until Dec17 when i decided to give someone else a go
I live on the south coast in a village called Titchfield.
I look forward to getting qualified as a fully fledged USR asap, so will see you at as many events as i can
Cheers
Mark

Hi All
Just I should probably introduce myself as I'm out tomorrow with everyone. I've been riding since i was 16 (37 now) although I had an 8 year gap in between where I bought a campervan for some reason and couldn't justify both that and the bike to the misses. Since having kids the camper wasn't big enough so sold that, bought a trailer and a bigger tent and then an old F650 to get back into biking. I did my BikeSafe course on that and then bought myself a Tiger 800XC and proceeded to do my RoSPA which I passed in September. A few weeks ago I was in Ireland doing my WEMT with WEMSI and decided I really wanted to give something back, local SAR in the area isn't massively active and I saw the USR and sent an email off straight away.
Anyway enough of me rambling. Hopefully see some of you tomorrow for the BHF ride.
Matt

Unfortunately after all that a work commitment has scuppered my chance to attend on Sunday.
I hope you have a good ride and look forward to meeting you soon.
