Any brits fancying some short winter rides?

I am a huge fan of winter riding unlike most people so I guess no responses to this topic.

I am looking to rack up some miles for experience sake over the winter and coming summer. For the winter I plan to just stick to the UK but come spring/summer some long weekend rides down into southern france/spain would be very cool, hit the alps for a bit of scenery grabbing etc etc.

Anyway if anyone else is up for it then let me know. I am a youngun btw, 20, been riding a while but only now getting my Cat A licence.

I only got a 250 that tops out around 80 so superbikes need not apply

Hey, scrape the frost off and go for a ride. If you walk funny because your ankles are frozen when you get off the bike so be it.
A long time ago I came to london and bought a 175 to tour about. It was march, went a bit north went out to lands end then rode thru paris in the snow. It was a great time. Ride to live live to ride.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
