Ace Cafe - Sunday 22nd February - 1pm

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Hey all,

Anyone interested in going to the Ace on either Saturday the 21st or Sunday the 22nd of this month? (Weather permitting of course, as long as it's dry) I'm thinking using only A roads to get there, as the M25 is boooooring. So...anyone? Anyone at all??

Maybe depends on weather and what other stuff the kids plan for me

[Paul]

That is my next long weekend but I will be going up to Liverpool on the Thursday and coming back on the Sat, maybe the Sunday, I am not sure yet. As soon as I find out what I am doing I will let you know.

I might be up for meeting you there on the 22nd depending on what hours my gf is doing at work. Have my assesment for the DAS on the 21st

[Gin]

Sorry, will be heading home from the family holiday and way to sleepy ..

[MonkeyKnuckle]

So would people prefer the Sunday?

(Maybe I should have put this in General Ride outs & meets to get a bit more interest.....)

[Paul]

Wel, I am a bit stuffed for this one now. I am starting a training course at work for two weeks from next week (mon 16th) Only just found out about this yesterday.

This means I will be working Mon-Fri instead of Mon-Thursday. This now means I will have to potpone my trip up to Liverpool and that means I have to do stuff down here on the Sat and Sunday instead. So, in a nutshell I can't go.

[MonkeyKnuckle]

No worries. There'll be plenty more opportunities to go there.

[Paul]

Yea I hope so. There are plenty of us down here to get out and about when the weather turns nicer and the Ace is top of the list for me.

well if your still up for it i'll be free, any sunday i do bugger all??

[yorbandit]

Me thinks it may well be a tad cold still but could find a diff route to take down that way i suppose what time you expect to get to ace at

[wannars125]

we know what your doing and

[MonkeyKnuckle]

No worries Anand. Don't blame you Willow, I wouldn't go if the 'kids were away' either.

[ade38]

Have you decided on a route to take yet??

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Not yet but it's either A3->M25 or stay on the A3 and ride through London.

I've driven around that area quite a lot when I go and see Jin and Skittles and it's a pain in the arse at the best of times. Tons of traffic and really bad drivers. So it might be less stressful to just go up the M25 even though it is boring. It also depends on whether or not they decide to stick some variable speed limits up on the M25.

So in answer to your question, I have no idea.

[ade38]

i remember coming back through london last year, got lost then caught in traffic! Well if you go up the A3 i could meet you guildford way and crack on from there but i got no idea how to get there, i always forget.

Yeah, I can meet you along the way somewhere. Not sure if I'll be going straight to the Ace though, might go to Jin's first. (She's in France at the moment but might come along)

Jin knows the way like the back of her hand, I also have a Garmin Zumo sat nav thingy just in case.

As for meeting point around Guildford, I don't have a clue where a decent place would be. Any ideas?

[ade38]

cool thats no probs, well best place to meet would be on A3 past guildford before the m25 there is a bp garage either side of the road, up there i think is probably best??
