Bugsy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ride out to the race circuit Val de Vienne. Situated at Vigeant which is South-East of Poitiers and West of Limoges http://www.circuit-valdevienne.com/Meet Sunday 25th March at 09-00 hours in the Super U car park at Sauze Vaussais (D948). We will leave promptly at 09-30 (note earlier times, please let me know if this is a problem) Not a race meeting but track open day so there should be plenty to see (cars). For those who haven't been to Val de Vienne, it's a beautiful circuit with good viewing. There is no spectator entry fee on open days. Not sure if there is food laid on so we may have to find somewhere nearby for a bite to eat. Weather permitting of course. Please post if you are coming. Following on from our regular saga of someone getting lost, I have a 'cunning plan' (black adder). (Pinched from Rospa's safe riding in groups) Each rider will keep an eye on the rider to his rear. This should ensure that we stay togther, peut-être. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buell Fool Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Does open day mean that we could do a few laps if we wish and if so what sort of money are we talking about. Oh yeah weather permitting count me in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah weather permitting count me in[/quote]Not this weekend Craig but they have two or three bike 'track days' each year. Cost is around 60 €'s, which is good value. There is also a riding school there if you don't want to run your own bike.SD, are you bringing your new toy for us all to see ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Not sure about this weekend. Clocks change so it's an even earlier start for us Norvern Monkeys and the weather's not looking so good - pipe and slippers might get wet....[:-))]If I don't turn up, then you'll know I've wimped out......

Bob T Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 SDI think that you are just trying to keep them all waiting. I bet you will be sat in the garage with a bottle of beer and a polishing rag, - sorry I meant duster for a BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm getting a feeling that the more 'slower members' would prefer a later start from Sauze V. No problem, if you would like to change the start time to 09.30 -10.00. It makes sense with the clocks going forward and it will give you more time to take your medications [:D][:D].It's not a long ride to the circuit anyway, about 50-60k so 09.30 is OK with me.Please post to confirm guys, it saves me having to phone around.Gary.

Bastet Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 So we assemble from 9.30 with a view to leaving at 10? Fine with us but if the météo forcasts more than just the odd shower then we may give it a miss also. Since coming to France we've been strictly fair weather riders - where possible...

Buell Fool Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Gary if I'm not there by 10.00 I won't be coming. We had our first meal with a French family this evening and with the clocks changing it's turned into a late one. Sorry mateCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
