Essex ride - this Sunday 4th October

[yantheman]

Hi peeps, who would like to join an Essex run this coming Sunday? We can meet at the Epping tea hut or the Jet petrol station off the North Circular...

[loz]

I'd like to join if the weather is nice... I still have to check I'm not forgetting anything, hehe. :D

[seby]

maybe yes :D

[Diego]

count me in dude. shall we say 10:00 AM to start with at the Jet?

[loz]

shall we say 10:00 AM to start with at the Jet?

Woo, 10am on a Sunday morning... that's dedication!! :D I'll do my best, I guess I'll skip the deadly saturday night drinks. :drunk:

[yantheman]

Thats where we will meet:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=243+North+Circular+Road,+London,+N13+5JF&sll=51.582196,-0.078483&sspn=0.00972,0.017316&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=51.615911,-0.100873&spn=0.008434,0.018303&z=16

It is a Jet petrol station. If you travelling east bound on the A406 North Circular, after passing the A105 junction (left to Enfield, right to Wood Green), the Jet petrol station will be on the left hand side after a few hundred yards.

10.00 it is!!

[slob]

Will come along if I get my bike sorted in time, got to work around Satuday lunch meet

[yantheman]

That would be cool Slob if you can sort the clutch out and come. I read that your bike is broken during the German trip... is that a big job to sort it out?

[steeevvvooo]

... I still have to check I'm not forgetting anything, hehe. :D

I do that all the time. Double book after forgetting I've arranged something with the missus! :banghead:

I'm planning a trip to the Cotswolds this weekend (weather permitting) so won't be able to make it this time

[yantheman]

[mintyhit]

I could be game for this, it was good fun riding back with you guys after the tunnel run.

I am usually in bed at 10:00am on a Sunday with a hangover though. :)

[Diego]

no worries mate. the adrenaline sorts out any hangover in no time ;-) it's usually the Monday after when one feels the bite hahaha

[Diego]

Woo, 10am on a Sunday morning... that's dedication!! :D I'll do my best, I guess I'll skip the deadly saturday night drinks. :drunk:

yo Lorenzo. nice to meet you yesterday.

10 am is allright dude. some folks met up (yes you know who you are ;-)) at 7:30 AM to go to the Brightona thing ouch!!!!!

a hangover is quickly fixed anyway with an adrenaline fix and a nice lunch sumwhere hehehe

[Duke Konan]

some folks met up (yes you know who you are ;-)) at 7:30 AM to go to the Brightona thing ouch!!!!!

I think you'll find it was 7:00AM...crazy fools! (I may have been one of them) :mand:

If the weather's good and I can drag my hung over arse out of bed I'll be there. No promises though...karaoke party on Saturday night so it could get ugly!

[gennyfit]

Im in guys
shell we met in epping?
at what time?

[pegboy]

would love to come out and play, will see with the missus, going to old trafford on the saturday to see the footy so out most of the day, so may need to spend some time with the family, don't know why, got the rest of my life for that, might have to go into work though!! SSHH don't tell the missus.

[yantheman]

[Funkatronic]

ali

[Diego]

[pegboy]

Arrhhhh Gutted my missus is out Sunday and i have the kids, although i am trying very delicately to off load them to the mother in law. watch this space.

[yantheman]

Paolo, hope you can make it, but not too worry if you can't

[gennyfit]

[QUOTE=yantheman;323041]Thats cool, how about Epping High Street at 10.30am?


Is ok for me at 10:30 I will be there high street :cool:

[seby]

what i suggest is
- make two meeting, one on North circular and one in Epping
- 10.30 is late, after as you know, the road become busy
- don't came if you drunk the night before
:)

[yantheman]

Yeah, will make 2 stops, first meet at the Jet at North Circular at 10:00am and then 10:30 at the Epping High Street (pretty short, can't miss any Monsters parked up there) to meet Gennaro and Ali

[paul67]

See you all tomorrow morning

[seby]

[Duke Konan]

In hung over stupor at the moment and barely able to stand up without feeling like I'm moving too quickly so sadly have had to give this one a miss

[yantheman]

What a day! First off, I need to thank everybody for turning up. Diego, Seby, Rob, Lorenzo, Stuart, Ali, Paul and Gennaro...

Hope you get the oil leak fix easily Rob...

Had a really really good day. Didn't expect it to be so late. OMG riding in the dark on the twisties was like a sick video game... I was pumped full of adrenaline...

We started at Epping -> Finchingfield -> Saffren Walden -> Haverhill -> New Market -> Ely and back...

Hope everyone back home ok... It was getting cold...

[paul67]

Yeah thanks to everyone, it was a good day.

I was ice by the time i got home.

[seby]

[Diego]

I am cream crackered but it was sure as hell worth it. good laughs all round. must have been record b-road coverage in one day!!!

good to see you all!!!

[seby]

thanks Diego

[StuartJames]

Great day out Yan, all 8 hours. Awesome end to it! Especially with a dark visor covered in greenfly :)

Good job on keeping the pace up on the way back Diego (aka Night Rider)...and on the way out.
Just been laughing at how fast we got down those long straight roads with the bumps, it was just crazy madness LOL

Cheers for the directions home Ali, and hope you didn't freeze too much on the way home Paul!

Can't believe we got so close to the sea-side and didn't see it!

[pegboy]

That was alot of tarmac you guys covered, gutted i could not make it. i counted 9 monsters, good job,

[ColchesterM600]

Wow you guys did a fair bit of riding there. i would have needed to change my rear tire after all that.

[bex]

Sounds like it was a great run, I'll hopefully come to the next.

Sorry not to have made this one, injured my neck on Saturday and couldn't bare to hold a helmet up with it all day.

Despite that I still got an email from a friend saying 'spotted you in Epping with your Monster Mates!'.... someone there on a blue one? :D

[J.P]

Well done for sorting Yan and very good going. More like a marathon than a ride-out by the look of it.
:)

[Diego]

Can't believe we got so close to the sea-side and didn't see it!

LOL we turned back somewhere before we hit kings lynn to contemplate the mad bumps over a wee drink :cool:

[Diego]

Ps shame you could not make it Bex, Konan, Steveo, Paolo, Colchester600 and anyone i've missed.
I'm sure if we catch another sunny day sometime we will do a Surrey/Kent or perhaps a different part of Essex again soon.

[loz]

What a great day!!! By the time I got home the odometer reported 266 miles! Even though my legs and shoulders were aching a bit, I couldn't get the grin off my face :D

Thank you all, awesome ride blessed by a warm sunny day (until the sun was up).

[kneedown]

if you guys get down this way be cool ;;box then berry hill not bad run

[yantheman]

It must have been Robs bike. Mine is blue but I have a tank cover on.

Thanks JP, didn't plan to go that far, but the twisties were calling :D

That bumpy straight bit of road was mad, like riding the bike on water :chuckle: :chuckle:
