What time does it start?
Everyone has laughed at me already and said not that Bentley... not that Bentley but Gt Bentley alas they know me too well!
I should go have a look soon.

I wouldn't say there's a start time, more like people turn up as they feel. On a warm summers evening the green tends to be at it's busiest from 7pm on.
Just turn up an chill!

Sometime between 6:30 and 7pm*

* this does not constitute a legally binding commitment to be on time, or even turn up :)

May be a few of us lurking tomorrow!!

I like the disclaimer! my time keeping is the pits ... Il admit it.. usually some fiasco , breakage or family call when I don't need it..usually not my fault just fate.

It tis customary for late people to be put on the green in stocks and pelted with ripe tomatoes you know!!

Hopefully we can get a bunch of us trogging about in the summer for chips or ice cream..would be nice to be social!

Good to see the usual crim's at the meet! Unfortunatley the Monster wasnt ready so the SS had to come out to play! I managed to grind the bottom of the fairings out on the way back whilst knee down, so the underside looks as bad as the sides!

Hope you all got back safe! See you all next wednesday??

Just got home.
Hope you all got back safe , met an old friend of mine which was cool!
We had a welcoming party round a bend ... not of a nice kind either but they where to busy with the several people they had pulled.
I really need to practice bendy roads ... to much traveling up and down the county in straight lines.
Grumpy... we so should have raided the ice cream van!

Didn't get back until about 10 as I went wrong way down A12 (I'm an idiot).

Lots of 50 mph zones for road resurfacing meant a long trip home.

Anyway, good to see everyone!

Glad you got back ok.
Yes there is lots of roadworks and average speed cams at the moment.
Still any upgrades on the A12 is good !
Nice to meet you.
That yellow adapted Monnie for the guy in the wheel chair was well done wasn't it!
Pleased to meet you anyway.

That's the route I was intending to take, but failed by going the wrong way down the A12 all the way to Chelmsford before I realised.

Really, never take notice of *anything* I say, I'm an idiot.

I have no sense of direction at all...
I was riding back to Ipswich a couple years ago and suddenly thought gosh Canary Wharf is looking really close.... ended up in Docklands!

This may be a pointless question, given the football, but anyone heading over to GB this week?

If so, I may see you there (and risk being the only bike on a otherwise empty village green)
