SUMMARY:Wales Tour/Wizz : July 2024
DESCRIPTION:This is a tour/wizz that has become such a group favourite that we currently do it twice a year! Broadly speaking\, for 2024 we will repeat the previous successful format\, travelling to Wales on a Monday and returning on a Thursday\, with two full days exploring some of the very best roads in the UK. We deliberately choose to avoid school holidays and weekends\, so we don’t have to share with too many caravans or other traffic.  Overall we’re talking of around 1200 miles planned and organised into manageable stages. \nFor 2024 we are proposing July 8-11th and September 16-19th. \nThis event is open to all our group members\, and we do encourage Tour/Wizz newbies.  But please be aware that the overall mileage\, duration\, road conditions and weather combine to make this a challenging trip… ie: tiring but fun.. and very rewarding!  Please read the notes below and check with your instructor if you are in doubt as to the suitability of the trip. \nIMPORTANT: We will be based in Mid West Wales\, with the venue and price currently a work in progress.  Further updates once we have finalised details. \nI will once again be aided and abetted by my two Welsh Politburo co-conspirators Roger Manning and Hugh Curran. \nThe price has yet to be confirmed but we are working to keep it similar to past years circa £160 sharing\, to £200 single (dependant on room type) for three night’s bed\, breakfast and evening meal.  Please note that single rooms will likely be in short supply.  We shall be limiting Tour/Wizz numbers to a manageable maximum of 30 riders\, and if previous trips are anything to go by\, demand will greatly outstrip supply\, and spaces may have to be allocated as fairly as we can.  Pillions are very welcome. \nImportant:\nWhilst our Tours/Wizzes are open to all; we do have some safety criteria that you must meet.  So before you come forward and to avoid disappointment please read our Prepare for a Tour/Wizz and ensure you are comfortable with the advice and that you meet the criteria.\nIf in any doubt then discuss with your Instructor\, Roger or myself. \nIf you would like to reserve a place (to be confirmed once final details are known)\, or have questions\, please email me on timbenians@gmail.com.\nIn the first instance\, please let me know the dates you want to book for\, and your sharing/single room preference. \nThanks\, Tim \n

You’ll learn the details of the renowned Police System to ensure that you always have the breathing space to tackle the hazards every biker faces. The System was developed to reduce Police rider accidents in pursuit riding situations; before the System\, the accident rate of police drivers and riders was one every 7\,000 miles. Since the introduction of “the System” that dropped to one every 70\,000 miles. \nMotorways\, Bends and Positioning – applying the system of motorcycle control.\nHow safely are you keeping away from likely hazards? How far ahead can you spot what’s going on? Positioning directly affects both. In week 1\, you’ll learn how to use your positioning to be more stable when cornering\, ride safer and see further ahead. You will also learn about ‘observation links’ and other tricks of the trade. How stable is your bike when cornering? \n\nWe are also expecting a quest speaker – more details to follow. \nLight Lunch and Refreshments are provided \n\nDon’t forget to attend Ride School Part 2 next month \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n9.00am – 4pm\nThe Haven Centre\nCrawley Down\nWest Sussex RH10 4LJ \n** Please book your place clearly stating Session 1\, 2 or both by registering with the membership secretary by emailing membership@southernriders.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n** All members to carry your membership card on club activities. **
