Nim, I will be staying at the Travelodge too. We can get real drunk and guess which one of us people are calling! I booked my room there ages ago, just did it online and left card details with them. It's unlikely I will make it to the Mill for breakfast but I'm told there is a Little Chef opposite but I will be having my evening meal at the Mill. On the booking form for the Mill is this option, so you just need to fill that in and send it off. If I don't see you before, then I'll see you there. It's a good weekend and you'll have a laugh. Promise.

Nim,

If you want to travel up on the Friday, you can tag a long with the Kent Mob - who will be going past you one way or another... just listen out for 6 Monsters (+1 spare wheel) + TDM + Thunderbird.
Seriously, if you want to join a ride up, just keep an eye on the Kent section, or PM me nearer the time.

Miles

Hey Miles... I've already offered to lead that one, if no one minds, I know a good route.

Are there any more spaces for the weekender? Having only just joined the forum myself, I only found out about it 10 minutes ago while looking though the threads. I'm London based too. Hello Nim, sorry, forgot to say that at the start.

The start of a ukmoc entry ritual? I'm sure we'll all love to to hear it...heck, I'm sure most will happily sing along with you.

03-02-2006, 08:46 AM

hey nonnie, thats great...we could really confuse people by calling each other 'naomi' and then answering to the wrong nicknames...(im already lost...)
ill get onto the mill about booking forms and sort out accomodation too. i think its v unlikely ill be making it anywhere at all for breakfast, so little chef will prob be the plan...do people tend to stay the fri, and sat night and then go back on the sunday? or stay the sun night too?

Nonnie · 03-02-2006, 01:41 PM

I'll put a link here for all the information you need. It starts Friday night and finishes Monday morning. It's the May Day Bank Holiday so it's possible if your only worry is a 9 to 5 job! If you can't make the whole weekend at least get there for the National Rideout on the Sunday. There were about 60 monsters there last year and they all rumbled off to a nice pub for lunch. Me? I sat on the back of a Valkyrie in a leather armchair and waved at people periodically with one hand. I'd broken the other one the day before y'see! Must try not to do anything stoopid this year. Well, when I say stoopid, I really only mean I must not do anything that makes me unable to ride my bike.

Here's the link..

And this is the one to book your room at the Travelodge. Have a check to see if there any single beds available at the Mill, you will have to share with others as there aren't any single occupancy rooms left and I'm not sure there are any spaces left in the female shared occupancy rooms but hey!!!

01-02-2006, 08:18 PM

well thanks everyone, you've made me feel most welcome....and in answer to some of you, i live in norf london innit....but am mving back to the south side of the river in due course....all friends, family are there...and it beats biking thru london all the bloody time, which is bound to kill me eventually. if i wanted to be a courier, id ve bought a Bandit.

im definitely up a ride anytime anyones free...im a v new rider, and need some serious clocking up of miles...
