Hi All,
Anyone fancy one of our days out to Portsmouth on Sunday 4th June? Usual affair, Loads of cafe stops, Breakfasts, piss taking, bike maintenance checks by Red, A272, Dazza's dogging tours, getting lost, lots of smiles.
Who's in?
-
Dogging you say ?.....me me me me me :lol
-
Sounds good.As always in this country......weather dependent :lol
-
Yep..iam in....do try and keep up this time though :rolleyes
-
I'm in :)
-
Could be tempted....................................
-
Me too. Catch up with some old faces (you know who you are)
-
That's a bugger. I'm based in Portsmouth, but I'll be working in London on the 4th of June! :(
-
Guys, where was that place near Portsmouth that we ended up at last year? It was on a big hill overlooking Portsmouth. We stopped in a carpark by a tea van, but before we go there, there was a military/fort kind of place. Does anyone remember what that was?
Was thinking it might be nice to try and go somewhere for a walk round as well as the ride, or going on past adventures is it best to take the day as it comes?
-
PORTSDOWN where we had tea , theres a bigger , better car park and tea hut further down , a better view imo....I'll do a bit of research regarding military stuff....on our first attempt at SAMMY MILLERS :rolleyes we ended up at HMS victory , had a good wander round , a good day....
-
sounds like a plan gents I'm in.
-
Micks monster burger van is where you want to go.
-
I may be up for this one, I've not been on a ride out for years!
-
I'll try and make this one.
-
Morning all :)
Rough plan for next week (weather allowing):
Ususal 0800 at Nell's Cafe for us Kentish/Essex Foccers for the first Breakfast of the day.
We can then head accross to Cowfold Tea Hut and meet others there for say 11.00am?
Then the A272 to Loomies and then, well who knows..... let's get to Loomies first! :rollin
-
3hrs to get from nells to cowfold :rolleyes ..........still no guicker then harry :pokefun :lol
iam In south bucks ( jct4 M40 ) might head east as for me to meet at cowfold at 11 is throwing away a mornings riding , might make nells If some foccer tells me where it is :lol if not i'll study the map and meet you lot on route
this rideout is open to all , just put you name down and turn up , friendly lot the LOFO's and the A272 is a great route......
-
meeting at cowfold sounds good to me, :b
-
HH,
Will you be leaving Gravesend on the A227.If so I could meet you at the roundabout at the bottom of Wrotham Hill where the A227 meets the A20, or outside the garage just before the Oakdene, with whoever else can make it.
-
3hrs to get from nells to cowfold :rolleyes ..........still no guicker then harry :pokefun :lol
I say 8.00 but we know that to most foccers that means any time between 8.00am and 10.30!! LOL I am also allowing breakfast time in there too.
I am kind of assuming we will leave Nell's around 0900 ish, and I'm hoping that by adding on an extra half hour we can't be late!!! :lol 8)
-
Must have my invisible T-shirt on today. :lol .When you leave Nells,can you ring/text as I'll be at the Oakdene.You should have my number from the Whitstable Egg Run.
-
Eah? Who wrote that?? ;)
We normally head out through Cuxton, out towards the hop farm and out towards Tunbridge Wells to pick up the A272. Any of that any good to you, Robbo?
-
HH,
I'll do my best to meet you at Nell's,which will be easiest all round.If I don't get up in time due to late Saturday night music gig, I'll see you at The Chalet. Either way I can grab some breakfast.
-
If you're planning on having a breakfast at the Chalet, better order it before you leave home :D
-
meeting at cowfold sounds good to me, :b
+1 brace yourself for the big breakfast wait :rollin
-
Yeah,know all about the wait for food there.Nothings changed there in at least the last 25 years.Hopefully I'll get to Nells before you leave.
-
If you're definitely riding to Nells Robbo, we'll wait for you..... This is a Lofo rideout, deadlines,timescales and plans are meaningless minor details. :lol
-
Yep that's my plan Dazza. M25, A2, Gravesend East exit, unless you know a quicker route. See you Sunday, thanks. :thumbup
-

-
Just checking with the rest of you. Do you think 11.00am at Cowfold is a decent time, or do you want to make it earlier?
-
i'll be at nells sunday about 8.30 then just the two hour wait for dazza to get up :lol
-

-
My brother's going to try and make this, either meeting up with us at Nells or somewhere en-route .
Apparently, he's going to take his wife somewhere blindfolded, within a 25 mile radius and she's got to make her way back home on foot.......Reminds me of a game my wife used to play, she used to love walking, set herself a target of 10 miles a day........Fuck knows how far away she is now.

Sorry guys will have to wimp out, toes still not healed, saw Consultant Wed , only improvement is that they no longer resemble squashed tomatoes (no pun intended!)

+1 thank you all guys :)

270 miles in total for me. Fab day out and great to catch up.
Did anyone else notice Dazza's rear light not working at times on long straights? One minute I could see it, next minute it appeared to be hanging off and pointing to the floor, then it would be ok again, you might want to get that checked under warranty along with the fork seals, I reckon there could be a corrolation there :lol
-
A good lofo run with great company.....322 miles for me , portsmouth , as the fazer flys is 170 miles round trip for me , but why take the easy route :lol ........good to see you all and of course spend a day on the FAZER...
-
Great day fellow's 275 miles good to catch up and had a laugh. Picture of dazza checking he's worn-out folk seals 😉
