What is it?

[Paul]

It is literally on my doorstep so I will be there.

Will ride up somewhere 'down route' on the day then join the thousands coming down the A23 into Brighton.

Anyone else about?

[Paul]

What is it?

 

Have a look here...... http://www.thisbrighton.co.uk/culture-acecafe.htm

[MonkeyKnuckle]

I might if I knew what/where it was.

Can anyone explain?

EDIT: ^^Thanks Paul.

[Paul]

In a nutshell, about 30-40000 riders ride down to Brighton from London and end up along Madeira Drive on the seafront.

Check out the website in the link above.

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Only 40,000? Hardly worth my time.

Pretty busy then?

[Paul]

It is absolutely amazing. There are live bands on during the day and loads of stalls and groups and organisations at the sides selling stuff and things.

So many bikes of all makes and sizes, something for everyone really.

[STampie]

Sounds cool, I would be comin from Fareham if anyone wanted to meet on the way

[Paul]

Best thing for you guys coming from the West is to ride up to Horsham then cut across to Crawley then join the A23 and head south with thousands of others, you will love it.

[STampie]

Sounds like a good idea Paul.

Managed to find some more info on the Ace Cafe site....

Hope this helps

I will ride up to the services on the M23/A23 at Pease Pottage and ride down with you from there if you want?

The services are located south of Crawley more or less where the motorway turnes into the A road. If you are heading south you just turn off to your left (obviously) and follow the signs.

[clashfan83]

Sounds really cool, I'll be there!

[Paul]

CF, if you have not got your bike by then you can come on the back of mine if you like. Just let us know.

If anyone wants my mobile number it is in the Contacts bit.....

[MonkeyKnuckle]

STampie, I can probably ride along with you. I need to check a couple of things first but I should be able to make it.

I'm still a new rider so might be a bit slow.

[STampie]

Andy, Don't worry about being slow m8!

Me and my bro in law are born again bikers so we ride like pansy's too

So who is deffo up for going to this then??? Maybe we could sort some meeting places and times etc.

Duc Paul... Pease Pottage services sounds good... what sort of time are you thinkin about gettin there?? If the bikes are leavin the Ace @ 10.30am maybe meet at Pease for 11ish???

This would mean the So'ton/Pompey lot would have to meet at about 10am. (Maybe at Farlington Services/Shell Garage???)

These are just thoughts in the wind so if anyone has plans then spit em out

I'm gonna try and get a couple of friends to tag along too so poss myself and up to 5 other bikes.

(I assume numbers and confirmed peeps are weather dependant )

[Paul]

Let's say 1130 just to be safe. It's going to be packed as others meet up there too.

My mobile number is in the contacts section. Worth having if we can't see each other or something at the services.

If it's raining though I will just walk down the hill here to have a look!!!!!

[STampie]

If its rainin you can take a webcam and we'll watch it on here!

[harrycpr]

im gonna get the bus in cause i cant ride there on a moped i will look like a right twat..

but if anyone wants to meet up just say cause if theres a few of us going we might as well meet up

[Paul]

Harry you will only look like a twat on the moped if you wear a pair of trackie bottoms and some kind of hoody......!!

[harrycpr]

Harry you will only look like a twohat on the moped if you wear a pair of trackie bottoms and some kind of hoody......!!

 

yea will prob ride in then but not park near marine drive.

so do u wanna meet up somewhere??

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Duc Paul... Pease Pottage services sounds good... what sort of time are you thinkin about gettin there?? If the bikes are leavin the Ace @ 10.30am maybe meet at Pease for 11ish???

This would mean the So'ton/Pompey lot would have to meet at about 10am. (Maybe at Farlington Services/Shell Garage???)

 

Sounds good to me, maybe go a bit further up the road and meet at the Honda garage instead of the Farlington shell garage?

I don't have a clue how to get to the Pease services, I hope you do.

And yes, definitely weather dependent.

[Paul]

Here are the directions for you. Looks like a superb ride from Chicester up to Crawley.

[STampie]

I'm fine with gettin to Pease.

So 10am at the Portsmouth Honda Garage, Eastern Road it is then.

That should get us to Pease Pottage for about 11ish, where we can grab a coffee and wait for DP

Lets keep fingers crossed for the weather then and hope we can get a few more peeps interested!

[STampie]

Oh and I have also added my details to the contacts section
