soll Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Ok i'm new to being on the bigger bike, and enjoy the comrades I converse with and have met.SO i feel like doing some weekend rides, while the weather is reasonable so I have an Idea.In Maidstone we have a newish biker cafe called RECA, my plan would be to meet up here on the day of choice and then head off to tunbridge wells along the A roads, then down the A26 through crowborough and join up with the A272.Once on the A272 we follow it until we get to our destination Loomies for lunch.Its about 100 miles one way, so be a good ride and day out.If people wanna join up en route we could arrange meeting spots.Good thing about this is the route will be simple to follow as basically 1 road.what do people think.

soll Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Hmm no takers, i'll let you know how it goes Quote
Hoggs Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Bit far for me but I look forward to the trip report! Quote
RiffmasterII Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 If im not working then I will head up and meet you somewhere on the A272 before loomies, when you thinking of? Quote
Dav3y Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Wessons and back is a good ride. Takes in 7 mile lane and a scenic route in Yalding alongside the Medway if you so wish.Oh wait, I'm doing that this weekend with LMRC As Phil said in the other thread, 200 mile round trip is a pretty long trip this time of year. Hope you have heated grips and a decent jacket There's also 1066 cafe Quote

I have 45 mile loop i like to do, but im game for any rides out and meeting up.. can work on the 200 miler for summer time Quote

Hoggs Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 LMRC - Are they mainly Saarf of the river? Or is there stuff for us Northerners too? Quote
soll Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Saaauff London you say, you can only join if you have a passport and the relevent jabs Quote
Hoggs Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Saaauff London you say, you can only join if you have a passport and the relevent jabs I know the drill, my friends used to live in Brixton I imagine there will be some pilgrimages to the Ace Cafe when the weather gets nicer, I'll wait for those rather than risking catching something Quote
RantMachine Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Saaauff London you say, you can only join if you have a passport and the relevent jabs Seeing as we're talking about London, I assume that the "relevant jabs" are given with a folding knife and administered by a teenager wearing a hoodie...?

Dav3y Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 See you guys at the chip shop.I'm going with the group from Sidcup.Going to be pretty awesome with 57 bikes from the two groups.Cod and Chips starts at £7.50. Take your own ketchup as the stuff in the shop tastes like Morrison's own brand. Quote
soll Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 ill be on the beasty in the picture, pretty sure ill be othe only one with one, be happily surprised if im not.....see you at the start point. Quote
Dav3y Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Your start point is different to mine but both groups are leaving at the same time and heading to the same place. Just don't forget to update your RSVP if you do change your mind due to weather. Looks like there might be some rain hanging around from the day before if the forecast is to be believed Quote

Hate to get caught with my trousers down as it were, much rather put the waterproofs on before I set off than have to stop to put them on during a ride or risk walking around like I wet myself when I arrive.
