Wiltshire Riders - advice please

did you just say R6 …again……….

 

Is that why it keeps raining all the time? Not because of gay marriage but because people keep threatening to ride R6's! Ha it was actually quite dry where I am yesterday just on the edge of Berks/wilts. Hopefully we can get a couple of dry days as there are more and more flood issues around us

 

You'll need to fit some nobbly tyres Tom or attach some oars - roads are shoite round here now - A36 north probably makes the roads around you now look like - well roads

 

The morning its not raining, who knows about tomorrow. Roads are generally in very poor condition. In South Wiltshire the A36/A30/A338 have been closed regally due to flooding and fallen trees or both ! Potholes are being bodged by a couple of lads in a transit pickup with cold cure asphalt and a shovel.

Im not trying to put you off but be very careful.

Of course in North Wiltshire or Swindonshire they have lovely new tarmac and dry roads, but then again they don't have the views

 

….and a dark cloak……. don't want to be recognised on that...:biggrin:

 

I'm in north wilts, and the views are lovely, but the roads are terrible. There's a lot of standing water, gravel and shit all over the roads, and pot holes galore

 

Today was a good day, didn't have to use my AK...

 

No issues really riding from home to hilltop. Ok need to knock off a couple of notches but still fun. Bramdean still closed as is Faringdon but the roads round are ok

 

There's a bit of gravel outside Mrs Smiths in Winchester just up from the Spar shop and I did notice a pothole on the A343 but can't remember where it was exactly so be careful.

 

oh theres loads of gravel around, but nothing good obs shouldn't sort and a great big puddle by the Rack & Manger which would catch you out in the darker parts of the day.

 

we did about 30 miles today, roads ok if your careful...

Wiltshire? Is that Norf? How can you afford a bike on t'mill workers salary?
