Hi all,

[seby]

sorry yan
i can't join you
i have to fix my front end at slob place

[yantheman]

:D it may not happen after all, too short a notice. I might pop in to Boxhill to say hello :)

[pegboy]

I'm up for a ride out Saturday,

[mikej]

I'm up for a ride out either Saturday after 1 (work again!) or anytime Sunday. If it's nice Sunday morning might take a trip down to Box Hill?

[seby]

if i finish to fix my bike would be nice a sunday ride

[slob]

yep, post if you're going out Sunday, I think Seby and I will be busy for quite a while on Saturday. What about Newlands Corner?

[CK & AK]

If you do pop to newlands on Sunday, give me a shout as might be able to do 'afternoon tea' for you - we are only about 7 miles from Newlands...

C:)

[mikej]

Ok, have no plans for getting slaughtered on Saturday so no need to worry about being hungover, definitely not working barring any major incidents, metcheck says it's going to be a scorchio 21 degrees and sunny all day so up for whatever on Sunday. What goes on at Newlands Corner?

[yantheman]

Sunday is good for me as well... Hmm... Newlands Corner, sounds nice... where is it?

Seems more people are interested in a rideout on Sunday... Shall we set it on Sunday? Slob, will you lead the way... I don't even know where Newlands's Corner is...

[seby]

i found two Newlands Corner
where it is?

[mikej]

Found a link to a BMW forum, it's a bike meet near Guilford in Surrey. Not too far from Box Hill by the looks of it. Says there are lots of classic bikes go there, it has a car park, cafe and "fabulous views to the south" apparently.

[CK & AK]

Newlands Corner is at the top of a hill on the A25:

If coming from the 'north' then its on your right (not the pricey tea-room/restaurant directly on the road on your left - which is opposite the turn into Newlands National Trust car park)

[Diego]

Cant make Sunday Im afraid as i will be wrestling a beast of a hangover.

Might do Essex mañana though.

[mikej]

Discupa, Tengo rasaca! Necesito algo para la diarrea.........

Just ride with your visor open, works a treat for hangovers!!

Essex tomorrow would be good, can only make afternoon though.

[yantheman]

hmm... thanks for the reply guys, so it seems now some can make it on Sat, some can only make it on Sun...

So I propose two:

1. Sat 11th afternoon about 1.30 somewhere in Essex
yantheman
pegboy
diego
mikej

2. Sun 12th around Newland's Corner (don't know the route... over to you may be slob?)
yantheman
seby
slob
mikej

Don't shoot me if it is getting complicated

[mikej]

Count me in for both of those Yan...

[yantheman]

:chuckle: ok mike... Might as well making good use of the remaining sunshine!

[slob]

Sunday is the Kent monthly meet at the Oakdene... so we should start there if we do a Sunday morning ride.

[yantheman]

I see :) so they become

1. Sat 11th afternoon about 1.30 somewhere in Essex
yantheman
pegboy
diego
mikej

2. Sun 12th start from Oakdene Cafe? (don't know the route... over to you may be slob?)
yantheman
seby
slob
mikej

[slob]

from Oakdene Cafe? (don't know the route... over to you may be slob?)
Straight past Brands Hatch and keep going about 3 miles

[J.P]

Slob,
I promise to keep the speed up.

[yantheman]

OK... working on the route in Essex tomorrow, will post time and meeting place later on.

As for Sunday, will meet at Oakene Cafe and follow the Kent massive there. :D

[seby]

any meeting point for north london ?

[mikej]

I will be leaving from N10 around 9.15ish, going North Circular, A13, Dartford Crossing, then off to the Oakdene.

Can meet you somewhere en route if you like?

[seby]

i will be leaving N20, can we meet in last time place (petrol station) around 9.25

[slob]

Seby, if you meet Mike at petrol station on NCR, come past mine on Sunday morning.

[mikej]

Sounds good Seby. I can follow you to Slobs, then follow Slob to Oakdene, no thinking required!!

9.25 at the yellow Jet station on NCR, just after Green Lanes, heading East, if anyone else wants to meet there?

[seby]

yes that s sounds good!

Ai ai ai diarrea...no gracias! :toilet:

girlfriend would prob pound me into oblivion If im ridin on both weekend days (and go boozin on Sat evening) without her hahahaha

[yantheman]

checking your 2nd route diego, nice!!

[Diego]

checking your 2nd route diego, nice!!

got it from a certain bike magazine a looong time ago! tried it once and got lost near Haverhill doh!!! Anyway doubled back and got to know the piece where that psycho on a Triumph overtook us last Saturday :-)

[yantheman]

right! the route on Sat would be...

North circular -> ... Chipping Ongar -> .... -> Braintree -> ... -> ... -> Haverhill -> ... -> Great Dunmow -> ... -> and back... fill in the blanks with your imagination :D

Lets meet at the petrol station at 1.30pm near the junction A105 and A406, if you travel eastbound, there is a petrol station a few hundred metres after the junction. I believe it is a Jet petrol station with yellow signs.

Route on Sunday:

Meeting point would be the same if mikej and seby are meeting up first and going to Oakene Cafe in Kent, I will be joining you guys may be 9.15?

[yantheman]

Diego, you will have to lead the group as I am rubbish in leading, especially on a route I don't know. See if you can sort out your brake light tonight, so you can lead!! :D

[seby]

[craigie]

I may try and pop along Sunday, what time at yours Slob?

[Trent]

Me 'n the missus (Jacqui) are keen to come along...

We'll meet you at the Oakdene Cafe.

I'll be on a Black Mutlistrada 1000 (if it'll start) and Jac will be on a Black Monster 620

See you there around 10am...

[craigie]

Just a thought, tomorrow is the final round of BSB at Brands, does this usually mean an 'enhanced' police presence in the area?

[yantheman]

Thank you Steve for leading the group. Had a really good day of riding. Hope I am not slowing the group down :)

Also thank you Diego, Mike and Paolo of turning up... There are some good roads in Essex for sure.

BTW, same petrol station between 9.15 - 9.30

[J.P]

Probably does Craigie so keep it steady. See you tomorrow morning
