Last years 'breakfast clubs' were a great success, so here's the detail for the 2008 events which have just been announced.

I am shoping nearer the time the regions can hook up to arrange some big ride ins like last year !!!

Cheers

The 4th May one looks like the best option if we are going to have a mass ride-in again. I'll be up for that.

Weather looks good and I have decided to go and pre registered. Anyone know what time it kicks off? I am sure I am not blind or stupid but I cant find it on the website.

I have also pre-registered but have no idea when it all starts as couldn't find anything on the site either.

Guess i'll aim to be there for about 10ish as googlemaps reckons it's about 2 hours from north London.

Will keep an eye out for other monsters and make sure to say hello.

Mike.

Mike, you want to convoy down? I'm in Dulwich.

If so, drop me a PM with your mobile no and I'll call you.
