meatloaf Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Planned to ride from surrey to Weymouth today to take advantage of the sun, after a badly sign posted diversion near Winchester ended up on some awsome Dorset country roads so ended up touring Dorset and ended up in somerset, late afternoon after being held up by one to many herds of cows crossing the road I decided to head home but I was totally lost and course when I got my phone out to use the sat nav there was no signal and the battery soon died.After following my nose for a while eventually found myself homeward bound and finished with a blast up the M3 ( sadly intterupted by roadworks). Got home much later than planned, very tired and hungry but found some amazing roads saw a lot of quaint villages and rode through a lot beautiful country side. All in all a great days riding. 3
Tommy xs Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 All of my best rides are the ones were I got lost & found my way back 1
up.yours Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I have to disagree , I panic when im lost , wondering if I will find a filling station, as I once had to push my xs500 over some moors it felt like furkin miles in fact it was miles, I don't know where this happened as I was lost 2
meatloaf Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 I have to disagree , I panic when im lost , wondering if I will find a filling station, as I once had to push my xs500 over some moors it felt like furkin miles in fact it was miles, I don't know where this happened as I was lost it was OK, I wasn't really lost I just didn't know where I was. i always fill up when I've done 100 miles and I know that I can do at least another 45 before I need to panic. Anyway while trying to find my way out of deepest Dorset I think I passed the same filling station twice so no problem

slice Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah that's a "I always know where I am it's the place I'm looking for that's lost" moment.
