This one definitely weather and area dependant for me. You got anything in mind Paul?

thought it best to lower the mileage a bit now the weathers turning....there is a retro bike cafe in london somewhere,jap cafe racers and one off`s that sort of thing.......not sure where it is but maybe EXUPNUT or PUNKSTIG know......just an idea , anyone else have any suggestions

Exupnut · « **Reply #3 on:** 25 October 2013, 12:32:02 am »

I have heard of that, I think its se1 near tower bridge but not 100% sure. I'll ask some of the chaps at work when i go back next week. But jafrum springs to mind.

I've known of a couple of pop up places that last a couple of weeks (mainly E1 area) but not of any others tbh!

What about meeting up at the Oakdene Cafe at the bottom of Wrotham Hill. Then if the weather's good the garden of England (Kent) will be open for those that won't to go play.

Exupnut · « **Reply #17 on:** 27 October 2013, 12:46:07 am »

lawrence and bozboz r that way aswell so maybee they could come by and say hello...what say u all?

midden · « **Reply #18 on:** 27 October 2013, 01:27:34 am »

Anymore Kent boys and Gals up for the LOFO challenge
of squeezing in the anorexic seating arrangements and even greater challenge of popping out after the Gutbusting brekkie. Shame it isn't still good weather. It's a good meeting/starting point for some nice ride outs into deepest kent.

A20 is not a bad road. When I've done in the past (plenty of times as I used to work in Maidstone) I've usually used the M20 to bypass Maidstone... only a few junctions. Past Maidstone it has some nice fast open sections with plenty of bends and gentle undulation.
