TOGS ride out 24th April

[Glorian]

First ride out planned from the crazy thread here

http://themotorbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=59948" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Plan is to meet at Standon here :

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+Star/@51.8814129,0.0267914,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x8306d5f3f782462e!6m1!1e1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Aim to meet between 12pm-1230pm pub opens for grub at 1230.

Spoken to manager, has booked the sports bar area out for us, food avaliable is things like baguettes, burgers, simple bar food (no sunday roasts) due to size and short notice (didn't realise it'd book that quick) parking on site, try squeeze into spaces 3-4 a space if possible.

Grab a drink and a bite to eat then head out to Walden Castle for to grab some challenge tags

Bit far for me

[Gin]

Should be good fun

Going to try and find a bed for the Saturday night nearby, so if anyone knows of any good inns or campsites, let me know please

[soll]

Ah that explains that... will change the date on mine for 2 weeks after this one.. ill come join you guys. only 1 hr 20 on motorway.

[RantMachine]

What a coincidence that the ride you decided to plan after reading our original thread happened to be on exactly the same day as the one we were planning! But at least you're free to tag along with us seeing as nobody signed up to yours

cheeky, brain read yours then then transposed the date to mine... easy mistake after the day i had yesterday..... but ill join you guys ....

[Seabluegal]

Hello all

Definitely up for a ride out on 24th but am coming from Peterborough so will have to watch the thread to see what the full plans are and where is best to meet you guys?

[Gin]

Sounds good! [emoji1]

[Six30]

I might tag along ...

[RantMachine]

Awesome!

Also, if you don't actually look like Terry Thomas I will be disappointed.

[Six30]

I'll try and grow a moustache and bring a cigar

[Glorian]

All are welcome

Not planning to race to the locations.

But if anyone wants to (and can guide themselves) more than welcome to!

also any one on 125's are welcome as i think ollie is still stuck to 60mph

[MrBrightside]

I'm in... Leave just been authorised...

[Glorian]

Nice

Feel free to meet up with me in colchester if you like.

[MrBrightside]

Mate I'm a way from you, but you could divert through Haverhole and hook up, Cambridge for Rant, then onto the venue?

[RantMachine]

I should be a teeny bit faster, seeing as I'm aiming to have my running in service done on the 23rd

But yeah, 125s are always welcome

I'd planned to head down A120 so not to worry.

[Mr Fro]

I'm kinda tempted to tag along on this one. Even if it's just to see six's face.

Mr Brightside - I'd head down the A143 from mine if you want to hook up at Haversmell. Howabout B1057 to Great Dunmow and meet the Colchester contingent?

[MrBrightside]

Sounds good to me mate

[Gin]

Can't wait to meet some new faces really excited now!

[Glorian]

Gin has volunteered to lead

 

I volunteer as tribute!

They look like some good routes! Not sure if my arse could withstand the two longer ones, but I'll come as far as The Star then work out what I'm gonna do with the rest of my day
