Rideout this Sunday 6th June

Anybody fancy a D-day rideout ????

was hoping to go on the Help for Heroes run up here but its looking doubtful :(

If you leave Saturday morning , you can get here in the afternoon! Then food n beer and a great rideout on Sunday?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's gonna be raining this Sunday

On a lighter note, it'll be a scorcher on Saturday

I'm sort of keen but not sure how far I can go as the wife doesn't want me too far away as the little one is only two weeks old, but feel like I've been stuck at home forever.

If you guys are going to go Box Hill, Newlands corner or Loomies cafe way I could always meet up for some of the way.

Cheers

We'll be in touch, depending on weather. Thanks Bill, but I'm busy on Saturday, with a minidigger!

Oh $hit! Sorry Steve, would've been good to meet you but i've only just read this post... A few of us went to Box Hill this afternoon, you didn't miss much, i reckon there was less than 50 bikes in the carpark but i suppose it's the rideout that counts.

Maybe next weekend seeing as the summer is pretty much here now.

No worries I only got as far as Newlands today as I spent too mch time talking to guys about bikes instead of getting a move on.
Did have a play around the Pirbright Bends a couple of times which is always good for a laugh and there wasn't many Surrey Officers around as It's Epsom Derby day and they all end up there so was fairly safe going a bit quicker.

Not really a fan of Box Hill as you tend to get more interesting bikes turning up at Newlands most of the time (but wouldn't eat the burgers there last time I did I got food Poisoning)

Mmmmmm, very interesting on two counts there Steve.
Often thought of going to Newlands but never been, i may have to check it out now to see what it's all about. And, very strange you say that about the burgers at Rykas cafe, we don't only go to Box Hill to check the bikes out but also to have those burgers! I personally think they're the best around, think you may have just been unlucky mate.

Might be worth starting a new thread about a meet at Newlands for next weekend if the weathers ok, i'll try and drag a few people down there with me.

Sorry I meant that the burgers at Newlands gave me food poisioning, as for the best burgers Loomies is the best bar none.

Oh ok mate, i think i may have just misread your post..
Loomies eh? Yet another bikers haunt i've yet to visit, think i need to get out more

Yer damn right you do mate. I even took notice of the forecast for today, heavy rain , thunder and lightning all morning, clearing later. Got up after a lie in and it had almost completely dried up. Umox ,George, Hamish, Tom and Johnathan all turned up at different times and we eventually set off for Rye at 1300 . Only a coupla dozen bikes in Rye , so we did the Camber road both ways, the Canal and Tenterden roads, a can of coke at Tesco's in Tenterden and then finished off with the challenging Wittersham road. Had to get home for 1515 ish to cheer the Boss up and all is well. The weather was hot and sunny all day with a light breeze, perfect!!!

Here we are about to set off from my place in Northiam;


A short rest in Rye and we were off;


Won't see ya next weekend as I'm on 12 hour days, then it's Belgium on the 17th with Mickey, Rocket and Hamish!!!

Thanks for the ride out today's guys was great fun. And thanks for the quick once over and adjusment of the chain megawatt glad the weather held out. Turned out to be a good day afterall.
