Box Hill

Me Wild Bill, RinTinTin and a few new faces are going to Box Hill tomorrow (weather permiting) for around 12 noon.

Blimey! What a ride!

Loved every minute of that, shame about the amount of cars round the Epsom race track and those dickhead cyclists that insist on riding 3 a-breast purposefully holding the traffic up, that still didn't put me off.
The ride back was the best ride (for me) this year, took a slightly different ride back through Cheam & Sutton where traffic wasn't so dense and thoroughly enjoyed it, cheers lads, twas a grand day

Yep was a blinding day, I'm getting used to my blade's new suspension now and the cornering confidence is growing every ride, roll on next week.

Sorry i just sort of get back from mallory park so was no way i could get out today bike still need a wash.

Hopefully a few more sunny weekends to come before winter gets a grip and we tuck the Blades away in their nice warm blankies. Might see you there in a week or two Mr Hog

Sorry mate,I have to beg to differ.
I like it when I'm at the Hill but that ride was pants!!
In fact I had a better ride going to work on Monday morning!.
Traffic jams,temporary lights,closed road detours,more cars than central London and more cyclists than a London to Brighton charity event!.
We need to organise a proper coast and back run where top speed is attained regularly and the radiator fans dont come on at all.
Boxhill just is'nt far enough away and there's way too many non-motorcyclists on the roads

Like I keep saying, get yer arses down to Romney Marsh!!!

You should join me and hoho on our runs to brighton or goodwood etc.
Nice roads, and we leave early enough to avoid shitty traffic etc.

Quite right Mr Tintin but your overlooking a major factor....

It was the first ride out on my Blade for over a year, that's why i didn't give a fook about the conditions, i was just overwhelmed being back on ole bessy
The coastal thing is just round the corner mate

Anyone going this weekend

I doubt we will be due to a major piss up Satuday night

I'm off to Brands for the weekend.
Some of my heroes will be there Ago and Phil Read. Then of course we have a third superbike race on Saturday which is being tried out for the first time. Another way to generate more revenue perhaps?

Like Cabbie said i'm gonna be getting $hitfaced on Sat night with the lads at Rintintins 46th Birthday party.
Even if i felt ok it probably wouldn't be a good idea to ride the next day

I'll be out but not going boxhill apart from passing it on my way out and way home.
