Huge Monster get-together - Box Hill, Sun 27/10

slob · 30-09-2013, 12:32 PM

Okay, don't quite know where to begin here.
I've just been contacted by The Bike Channel, who'd like to do a 20th anniversary special.
They're not to worried about standard and would like to do this in the next Month.
How many Monsters can we get together at for instance Box Hill one weekend?
I realise this is short notice but it would be great to get as much of the club involved as possible.

As long as it's not this weekend or the Cartagena weekend then I am pretty much open to any time.

They are providing cake? and egg mayo sandwiches? with some crisps?

No oranges though.

Seriously ?
Can you imagine the amount of Monsters there are actually North and NO I don't mean Manchester I mean abroad in a foreign country, a country you can travel to that has had recent brilliant biking summers in comparison to England, they speak the same language, they have some of if not the best roads in Europe with the best scenery, cheap beer are friendly ish, and will even take your currency without moaning the face off you.
We did just under 500 miles yesterday mixing it up with north and south of the border guys from Ducati up North.
If I was closer than 8hrs just to get there..............

I went to the NW200 this year, the roads in Northern Ireland are brilliant.
The Antrim coast Rd, which follows is part of a World Heritage area, is great fun.
I stayed near Ballycastle,the two roads to Portrush, where the paddock is situated, are fun, especially the coast road, stunning scenery.
The roads in the area are some of the best I have ever ridden.
The people are so friendly and helpful.
Just go, you will love it.

I am new to the club, but would love to attend. The weekend of 19th would be perfect.

New or existing member, it doesn't matter everyone's welcome.

I guess it depends entirely on the date.

The TV company is based in SE. Also the most conspicuously active areas of the club are spread from Kent through to Wiltshire.
If, for instance Manchester/Liverpool had a fifty or more members regularly attending Monthly meets, I'm sure they'd arrange to travel but sadly that ain't the case right now. I'm just testing the water to see what we can arrange at short notice.
If someone thinks they can pull something else together, let me know.
