Hoping to get off to Findon to meet the Kenties for breakfast, then heading off to Brighton afterwards.
Meeting the Kenties at 10.30 at

John Henry's
The Forge
Nepcote Lane
Findon

I would suggest meeting at Ower at 9.00am, then a ride down together, have brekkie with the Kenties, down to Brighton, Ice Cream, then back home via the A272.
Anyone wants to meet enroute, Chichester McDonalds at about 10 ish.

Wilts members are coming down, see Wilts thread for details

Cheers

Might be up for it (although we're still hoping to get away for the weekend camping at some time over the next few weeks), If we do come, we'd meet in Chichester. (There are 2 good roads down to Chichester from us).

There are 2 McDonalds in Chichester - which one do you mean? http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/restaurants/restaurant-locator.shtml

[uksurfer]

um, the one we went to last time... :biggrin:
its the one on the A27 roundabout on the right hand side of the town, as your heading out on the ring road.

portfield way

i thought there was only one in chichester, but though i only ever been to that one!!!

Not sure which one to take - probably the SF, but the stroodle is great too - see you there

[Rally]

It looks like 3 of us from Devizes, meeting Chris in Salisbury and then on to Ower. How many Hampsters are out this weekend then Martin?

[uksurfer]

ummmmmm, not sure, maybe me, not heard from Gamsa or Grant or Gutsy....

(less is faster)

[Rally]

(less is faster)

What even when Liz is with us! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

[Liz]

What even when Liz is with us! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I've burnt you and Chris off on my M600, but am thinking that this weekend, I may not stand much of a chance!

You guys better wait for me!!

Gutsy/Grant, where are you? :eek:

[uksurfer]

you can leave earlier Liz! :biggrin:

[chris yeatman]

you can leave earlier Liz! :biggrin:

thats a good idea liz. lol

[Liz]

you can leave earlier Liz! :biggrin:

I'd better leave now then!

[Gutsy]

Ok ok ok. I surrender. Which way will you be riding from Ower - I assuming straight down the M27 to Chichester? Reason I ask was wondering if you wanted to come via mine to pick me up around 9.20ish - nothing like a bunch of Monsters to wake up the neighbours on a Sunday, LOL!!

Alison, We will be doing the M27 to Chichester. Does Martin know where you live and how far out the way is it? Sounds a plan though..........

glad your coming along Gutsy, think it will be quicker to meet you at Ower services, the Wilts gang are heading down the A36 from salisbury, so it would be cutting it close for time if we headed up to yours and then back down again, trying to get to Chichester for 10.00........ :mand:
(and i think your neighbours will be woken up just by your bike alone)

[TCar153]

Hey up Martin. Google maps is showing three mc donalds in chi. Which one are you meeting at?. Weather and will permitting, would be up for a wee scoot out.

its the mcdonalds on the main A27 roundabout, where you turn right towards arundel, its on Portfield Way, and a sainsburys or something very close by, hope that helps!

[granite785]

I'm coming so will meet at Ower at that ungodly hour of 9AM!

[uksurfer]

So, meeting tomorrow

Ower Services: 9.00am
Rallys Group - Chris, S4rsMack and Liz
Me
Gutsy
Grant

Chichester: 10.00am
Mrs C + Andy
Barbican
Tcar

Any one else?
don't want to go without anyone!

[MrsC_772]

Looking at the map, I think we'll meet you guys at Findon rather than Chichester in the morning.

There are more interesting roads than the A27 between us and Findon if we head south east rather than south followed by east.

[uksurfer]

Thanks for letting me know, we'll see you at brekkie MrsC :)

So, meeting tomorrow

Ower Services: 9.00am

The thing is which chopper rally? The choppers that the nude blokes had out or others........
I've never seen so much flesh in the street before in my life, what a day to choose!

A great day had by all and I just got back before the rain came down. Thanks to all that made it such a memorable day.

First I want to thank all those who came on average 90 miles each way and some you can add another 50 to some. A meeting of 4 countys on a lovely summers day. My day started of nearly being killed and my caroline too when a woman driver decided to pull into the side of me on the A2. Not enough for her when I swerved and got off the gas she then proceeded to go across another lane in sheer panic no doubt and try to embed another car into the barriers. Lucky to be alive I calmly got to grips with reality of being alive and decided not to chase and give her some verbal.
We all had a nice ride down some lanes on to Findon only attacking the motorway for 2 junctions. A nice breakfast was recieved and I hope you pleased with my choice of venue.

Ride home was a wee boring and slow at times but I did still enjoy it.
Alas I picked up a puncture fairly near to home as I failed to be able to steer round the corners. I got home just but tyre is very soft. Not on the rim but will not turn on tarmac easily.

Some pictures on here. Caroline took the pics and some contain nudity and some are not that nice . Be warned LOL

[He11cat]

That looks a great day out ..
Monsters, Brighton Pier and icecream ... those are a few of my fav things:) My old stomping ground :)

What the devil is going on with punctures at the moment I have never heard of so many in the last 3 weeks!!..I am glad you got home safe.

I went on brewery tour .. nuff said ... sore head and curtains shut for two days ... apparently trying to get me to walk a mile and half home was entertainment in itself .. oh the shame :(

A great day out! Great breakfast and ride to Brighton! Caroline, how did you manage to get so many close-ups?!!! Our ride home was also a bit slow apart from when Rally and
S4RsMack went on without me and had a good 'race' back to Devizes! I took my time and did my usual 70/80 mph! I think they might have been doing a little bit faster than that!!

[TCar153]

Thx all for another fun day out. Apologies for scooting off without tatas. Good to see barbicans new multistroodle and to get to chat to jerry in brighton. Managed not to bend anything or get busted. Top day.

[Panther]

Edit
Interesting link Albie, with some really good photo's but the choppers were a bit eye watering, thats just not my cup of tea.

That will teach me not read the last line of your post and just click on the link!

Caroline says she got right to the front. Not nice at all some of them. Some were obviously and well done to them guys for doing it I say.

[S4Rs MacK]

Thanks all for a fanstastic day. The 'spirited' ride with Rally was great, (sorry for leaving you Liz).
Hope to see you all again soon.

[MrsC_772]

A good ride down through Sussex to Findon - West Sussex council appears to still have a road maintenance budget - fewer potholes than over the border in Surrey!

I was going to comment on the superior sausages at Albie's chosen venue, but having seen the pictures from Brighton I think sausage related remarks probably won't go down too well!;)

No probs Dean although I did feel a bit lonely on the way back from Lugershall to Devizes! You and Rally need to organise your own ride/race and then, when you go out with the slower members of the group (me), you don't need to 'race' and can wait for me!

It was a fantastic day out owever, and me and the 'little' Monster kept up as well as we could!! ;)

[Rally]

Dean, we will have to do another 'spirited ride' before too long, as the video stopped. I think it got scared!
