wannars125 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So the planned rideout yesterday for the future of haiti charity started to all go wrong when I lost my phone on Saturday. After some ringing around though managed to get hold of everyone I needed to and things were looking good with the weather forecast saying cloudy brightening up later.Sunday morning arrived, went outside and it was spitting and getting harder. Back in to get the waterproofs and headed off to the Ace Cafe to meet MonkeyKnuckle and a few others.In traditional style, I rode straight past the Ace Cafe and had to turn back!Had some brekkie, realised the weather was still looking rubbish so hung around a while the bad weather passed and left at about 10:30am. Only an hour and a half behind schedule! Got to Loomies at 12pm, got the orders in for some drinks and food (still regular Andy?!?). Realised we were supposed to be in Billinghurst to meet Ducati Paul at this time so called him to arrange to meet up a bit later. Headed off down the A272 which was lots of fun besides the couple of horse boxes that we got stuck behind and the cyclist that managed to overtake us whilst we were stuck! Carried on riding through and at some point realised that the signs were no longer saying Billinghurst and stopped to find out that we'd passed it quite a while before! Oops. Another call to Paul to find he'd already got the beach!!! Another half hour and we'd arrived in Brighton. Walked to the hotel for the exhibition to be met with blank looks by the airhead receptionist. Walked out and bumped into my friend that was organising to find that it wasn't starting til next month!!! Oooopsie! She told us where some of her work was displayed so took a trip to the shop and in the process found the charity piggy bank!!! After donating some cash we walked to the pier, Beth found a sudden addiction to the 2p machines and everyone had a walk around. After this we lost Paul and Beth which was a shame but there'll always be next time!On the way out, we bought some donuts and were attacked by the seagulls!!!! We think it was the dodgy veggie spring roll that Andy fed to them that pi**ed them off! Trying to wave the seagulls away! Seagull strikes and wins! The aftermath!A good day was had by all that came and another ride will be planned for when the exhibition is actually on next month so if there's anyone that would like to attend, keep an eye out in the London and South East rideout section.Thanks to all that also donated towards this charity.

TC Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Sounds like you had your work cut out there to keep it all togetherWell done for organising it. Sometimes the best rideouts are the ones that go all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannars125 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 T'was a good day. All except for my scrambled eggs on toast, too regular for my liking! Haha!!! Have you not kept it up? I'll be bringing some all bran with me next time I see you Andy!TC, to be honest it wasn't too bad, just a little misunderstanding on the dates and meeting people and weather!!!! Hopefully the follow up rideout next month will be a little easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
