I've got a day out pass for this  :lol What time do you reckon to be leaving Blackheath for the Ace. Any ideas?

I might be meeting up with an old friend who's up for a ride. We might end up meeting you at the Ace instead so some times would be good.

Cheers foccers.

Would entirely agree with that, had blue R6, blue R1 now blue Fazer8, which is great.
[/size][/color]Did have a BLACK Gen 1 Fazer 1000 which had been modified and was almost as quick as the R1, loved it though, only sold it after two fabulous years as mileage clocking up and finding it a bit heavy, hence Fazer 8![/font] :o

Reckon it'll need to be 9 if we want to be at the Ace by 10 - those of us meeting at Shooters Hill; it probably makes more sense to meet on Blackheath instead doesn't it?

8 sleeps to go. This is gonna be the longest ride we have done yet. Blackheath >ace>oxford area and back home. I'm thinkin for me 250 mile trip.  Best wrap up warm for this one people.  For the riders s'east, ur gonna rack some miles for this one so BE WARM.....ED!!!!  Shitty cafe @ 9 .... See u there

Pretty sure I did over 250 miles on the last ride out since I hail from the north of London so for those towards the south-east I wouldn't be too surprised if they manage similar or higher distances :)

weathers been better than forcast over the last two days,nice bright morning here in south bucks,sun out and looking good....first part of the ride from the ace down to marlow wont have any hold ups as all m/a roads probs take about 30 /40 mins...road from marlow to henley is a bit slower following the thames.great road and part of my private race track since i was a teen on L plates ........ah,happy days....................................................................we can stop for a while at henley and pose for some piccies,if its quiet we can stop right next to the river with the bridge in the background.......well i hope thats wetted your appetites for what has the makings of a great day out.....any of you peeps out there who cant make your minds up about coming..just do it....we`re a friendly bunch...looking at the photos after the event is not the same as being there  ;)
 newbies especially welcome,we dont bite....well not all of us  :lol


hope to get out this weekend and ride the route,check mileage and places to stop,time taken etc........any questions ?
