Poor Excuse

[musicbooks]

Other than that I'd have to do 10 miles before I even got a sniff of the countryside.

Do you live in L.A. Vikki? 10 miles from most UK towns and you're in the sea

Two miles south and I would be in the sea

I can do that too. But I reckon two miles (due) south and I would be on the Isle of Wight.

Do they make amphibious pedelecs?

 

[Vikki]

That would be 6 for me to pop up on the IoW

How about a nice long snorkel?

Meet

How about some of us who live on or near the central South Coast meeting up say in the springtime and going for a pedelec, seeing a few sights, pub drink and or meal, etc. I'm in Bournemouth - 'phone number on request, Just a thought. Tony.

Valentines Day it would appear! Lurv and pedals are in the air

Meet on the south coast

Any one in the London area can get to the south coast by train for £10 (all day train travel ticket) so, if some one chooses a date more of us could gatecrash.

Meet

You won't be gatecrashing Conal, I'm just being a bit convenient for myself as I'm on the S. Coast already so it's easy for me to get there!

"If I was cycling purely for exercise then an electric bike would be pointless, if I wanted to do less exercise then I would simply go on shorter flater rides."

I agree with most of your post Patrick but not this.

Come to think of it Bigbee I don't agree with this sentence either. The real reason an electric bike would be pointless for me personaly if I was cycling purley for exercise is that after the first week or so it would sit there gathering dust (like the exercise bike I've got set up in the cellar).

Your period of half hour daily exerciseing is more than I've ever been able to sustain, which is why I'm looking to get an electric bike. Once I've spent my train fair for the year on a bike that provides a practical means of getting to work I won't be ble to avoid regular exercise.

What a great idea. Ye Olde Powabyke would need a re-charge though, by the time she hit Bournemouth proper, I should think.

If I'm not mistaken New Milton crops up in some of the Wisper posts and that's in the New Forest not too far from Bournemouth. I think there are trains from Waterloo that pass nearby too.

Yes, Wisper have a base at the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum at New Milton and held an e-bike show there last year. David Henshaw and family of A to B fame used the train and Bromptons to get to it from Dorchester and told me there was a station nearby.

Sammy Millers is about three miles from me, as is New Milton town itself.

The West bound London trains stop at New Milton Station.

Sammy's might be a good place to meet. The New Forest is a gorgeous place to explore.

Meet

That's where I bought my Wisper, Sammy's (now I think OBE) Museum New Milton, back in the summer. Could be a good place to meet. Lots of places to cycle to and mostly very flat in the New Forest, It would depend on (and of course if at this early stage) how many members would be coming, I just wonder if New Milton would be a bit far for some to travel to, maybe somewhere more central for the majority of those interested.
Perhaps nearer the time, when it's warmer and sunnier (hopes), those who would like to meet up for this would post their approx location so that a meeting venue could be decided upon, could still turn out to be New Milton of course. Tony.

All things considered, New Milton sounds like a good place for a meet.
