Tell you what mr nog, if you make it on the nogfighter I'll bring the "stuttering one "along......a couple of focu classics :lol
It's a deal :thumbup
Just gotta consult the work rota of destiny tonight & figure out who to sting to cover me.
I best check where this loomies aactually is & figure out mileages and start time etc.....i can see me being up earlier than you though.
Post by: Hedgetrimmer on 03 May 2014, 04:06:00 pm
There's an easy almost direct route to Loomies for me, but dual carriageway all the way, so I'd want to set out a bit earlier and go by a more interesting route.

Fish and chips, chips were nice and fish overcooked cooked imo but generally it was a pass though lacked flare by not having coming with peas 8)
Would try the pie next time perhaps ;)

Hello Guys. As the 15th is get getting closer I was wondering if you know how many LOFO's would be coming to Loomies? And what time you reckon you might get there? Also as you guys have already ridden a fair distance whether you want to stay close to Loomies, within a 20 mile radius or would be up to going over to Whiteways cafe on the A29Whitewater all the way
Post by: red98 on 09 June 2014, 06:42:54 pm

Probably better for you to meet us at Box Hill, I'll arrange to meet Midden at Nell's café, then we can have a run to Box Hill and meet up with you. What do you think ? .

No pressure then. Talk about dent the pleasure of the meet :rolleyes
Sorry, I'll rephrase. I don't often get much these days and I fancy a bit more spirited ride.
I'll meet you all down at Box Hill and then ride down with you guys at your pace. Then I'll get the best of both worlds. ;)

whiteways cafe sounds good to me, ive never been there either. Im sure fireblake has a plan.I have some plans but it does depend on how far peeps want to ride. There is a lovely little round robin that ends back at Loomies. Nice roads and about 20 to 30 minute circuit. Or you could ride to Whiteways straight from Loomies.
You guys will have done more miles than me so we can talk about it tomorrow and see how you feel about it.

Seriously guys, do the circuit. If it's the one I remember, it's awesome! :)
Post by: Kosmic Kartman on 14 June 2014, 07:41:23 pm
Nell's is a bit early for me 7:45am :eek so I hope you enjoy yer breakfast. I'm meeting a mate at 9:30 - 9:45 and we'll be taking the route:
From Avery Hill Park Greenwich to
B2026 Westerham to Edenbridge
B2028 Haywards Heath
A272 to A32 Loomies.
We should get there for about 11.45 - 12ish.
So if you're still there I'll see you, if not, another time.
In any case I need to get back home for about 4:00pm as my wife and child have planned a special surprise secret outing to my favorite pizza eatery (and they think I know nothing about their secret plans and skullduggery).
:rolleyes Ooooo what a nice surprise :lol

Rather not do a circuit leading back to loomies. I'd rather head to whiteways and create a circular route home giving Nick, Paul and bri drop off points. just my 2 pence.
Ignore that, got loomies and whiteways the wrong way round.
The pref for me would have been whiteways then loomies then in ambitious mode wide arc to H's...
Bit late to arrange now though :)

:lol
Back home now.
I did text Nick Crisp this morning to explain that my riding buddy lost all power to his cafe just as we were about to set off - so was going to be late and couldn't leave until a sparky arrived to fix the fault.
Anyway we ended up leaving Greenwich about 11:10am and arrived, after a ballistic ride, at Loomies bang on 1:00pm.... But you know that because you past us going the other way on the A272.
Nice Foccer salutes boys :thumbup
Hope your ride was as good as mine. It's been a long time since I've done the A272 in such rapid fashion. In fact the hole ride was pretty rapid.
Nice :)
