EASTER SALISBURY PLAIN LARDY BIKE RIDE
Would love to! But alas, I'll either be in Scotland touring or Brands for the BSB of Scotland fall though.

Okay folks..
Awaiting Davsato`s okay etc..And Plain openeing times..
But if we said Sunday 8th April..we could have 2 meet points..
Poole area for the Dorset guys..riding up to the Countess service meet say 10.30am so you meet at whatever time you like and ride up your chosen roads..
Hants guys Micks burger bar "Portsdown Hill" 9.30am depart to meet others at Countess..probably up A32 then across to winchester and Stockbridge etc..
A few hours on the plain gravel roads both sides and usual spots and Imber village as it should be open then across to A303 via Shrewton and Afgan village..
Then lunch at a road side cafe or whatever people want...
Then Across to shaftesbury and down to Blandford before we all split our own ways..
I would like to say max 12 bikes as that wont be a problem on the plain I`ll do a gpx route for those with sat navs just in case ..
Will and Mike [Freemarket] we could meet at countess..
its everyones day out so input please guys..
The plain will be safe tracks ...just have a puncture kit for those with tubless tyres..
Davsato..could you do a list on your opening post please..
