Title: LOFO ride out - Sunday 24th April
Post by: HarryHornby on 31 March 2016, 08:22:44 am
Who's up for a ride out on Sunday 17th April?


You know me, I don't lead, I follow and the last route I picked was a pain in the arse, so over to you guys to decide where.  I'm just putting the date out there!

Mmmmm...so your starting a thread about a possible ride out /meet on the wrong day with no intention of organising the route   :rolleyes.....classic LOFO's......... :lol

Is there a rule about "1st Sunday of the month"?  I've missed that one, clearly!  :\


The last route I suggested was a bit rubbish (so it turned out) and seeing as you guys know biking roads better than me I'll leave it to you, thank you very much.  :b   And there is no point me leading a route because you'll all get board of going so slow  :o


Oh, and this just happens to be the only Sunday I'm free in April  so I'm getting in there before the wife organises something for me.  :D

Starting from Chalet Cafe, Henfield Rd, Horsham, Cowfold RH13 8DU, going via Petworth and ending in Loomies cafe.Than back. This is A272 only.

Or this one: https://goo.gl/maps/JXkgok7ynJL2 (https://goo.gl/maps/JXkgok7ynJL2)

good suggestion VAL  :thumbup .....a few new foccers on here from the south so how about a meet at cowfold,ride to loomies on the excellent A272 and then head down to portsdown on the A 32 , B2177  to meet the newbies in the area....great view at portsdown if you`ve not been before and also somewhere to get something to eat




also worth mentioning,although titled as a" LOFO ride out" it is of course open to all FOC-U members regardless of the colour of your bike  :lol [size=78%]  [/size]

sounds very good plan Red I am in. Here sample route ending at Cosham Highbury cafe: https://goo.gl/maps/eSyJu2Twco52 (https://goo.gl/maps/eSyJu2Twco52)

I haven't been there yet so if you guys know any place that we can eat will be great.

Now ..................what time at Cowfold and what day 17th or 24th?

Say 10:00am at Chalet Cafe, Cowfold RH13 8DU ? I am fine for both 17th and 24th. And the weather is getting better for 17th  :)

What do you think Red & Red ?  :lol

What about 11:00 or 12:00?

Looks to me there are few people that can do 24th, but can't do 17th.

And all can do 24th so are we in agreement it will be say 24th 12:00 at Chalet café Cowfield than?

"May struggle with 10am"..........is that because you have a slooooooooow yellow fazer or you need more beauty sleep than a normal foccer ?   :pokefun    :lol

Title: Re: LOFO ride out - Sunday 17th April

24th should be ok for me.

sounds like a deal so it's safe to say 24th 12:00 at Chalet café Cowfield than  :thumbup

We have a date already  :eek....this is not like a normal LOFO event  :lol............so I can still argue the start time.....bit late isn't it,dont listen to DAZZA lets make it 10 am ..... :thumbup
Title: Re: LOFO ride out - Sunday 24th April
Post by: HarryHornby on 13 April 2016, 07:25:38 pm
We've always had a date for any ride we do, Red, it's getting all the foccers to meet up on said date.... THAT'S the issue!!  :lol
Title: Re: LOFO ride out - Sunday 24th April
Post by: dazza on 13 April 2016, 07:32:08 pm
 :lol  Let's meet in the middle Red. My reasoning is....Kent and Essex Foccers meet at Nell's Café at 08.30, allowing for late comers and the compulsory full English :)  leaving an hour or so later for a good hour or so ride to Cowfield, waiting at turn off's for silver bikes to catch up..... it's got to be around 11. Just because you're leaving the night before, doesn't mean we all are :D
 
What do you think ?
Title: Re: LOFO ride out - Sunday 24th April
Post by: red98 on 13 April 2016, 07:42:34 pm
Yep.thats what I thought you'd say ....you sure of the route we're taking ?  Its just that I would rather wait for you at a cafe rather than the side of the road in the middle of nowhere  ;)
Title: Re: LOFO ride out - Sunday 24th April
Post by: HarryHornby on 13 April 2016, 07:45:18 pm
Wasn't it Cowfield that you didn't show up at when we went to Brighton, Red?  Are you sure you know where it is?  ;)

Ok based on you guys coming from Nells around 9ish means we will wait for you at Chalet Cafe, Henfield Rd, Horsham, Cowfold RH13 8DU

Red98 yes I am fine we wanted to do non-motorway route from Tesco to Cowfold its 1h30m so to be at Chalet cafe at 11 we need to meet around 9:20 at Tesco , Warfield.

Here is one route we can do, which itself is not bad going via Pirbright and A281  :)

You ok with that guys?
Title: Re: LOFO ride out - Sunday 24th April

Route looks good Val but its easier for the others to meet at tescos in warfield as the old boy has been there at least once before.

That is fine Bri see you guys there.

About the plan I though we already have a plan  :lol go to Loomies and than Portsmouth and back?

how about a meet at cowfold,ride to loomies on the excellent A272 and then head down to portsdown on the A 32 , B2177  to meet the newbies in the area....great view at portsdown if you`ve not been before and also somewhere to get something to eat

Red looks like a good plan, I'm up for this one.

yes Harry I will bring my Drift Stealth 2 camera. Plus I have one permanently mounted to the bike. Will make sure to edit out any antics we may do or not do too.

Nope, not expecting any credit!  It's not MY ride it's OUR ride. I just offered up a date.  :\   I don't know the good roads like you guys do.  I don't lead coz I'm slow and I don't like holding you guys up, and I am a bit shit on a bike so I prefer to concentrate on my riding rather than where to go.  Sorry!  :o

Back home about 6:30 and close to 280 miles. Did the A272/A26 back to Tunbridge Wells. Not warmed up yet !


'A Tale of Three Cafes' A good day and great to meet some more of the 'western lot'.


Here's one of the reasons why we were late. Dazza does an emergency stop in the middle of nowhere for "a little walk in the woods".......  :lol

Alright, that's enough picking on Dazza  :lol
Great ride out Foccers, nearly didn't make it out, cold and wet this morning but glad I did.
Couldn't handle the trolling  :b
Love that 272, always better on the way home when there's less traffic and you get a clear run of twisties that just flow one after the other.
Will post up a little vid later.
Think you'd better  come greenlaning with us Mel, you obviously have an off road itch you need to get out your system. :D
The bonkers Husky threw a paddy and wouldn't start, wouldn't bump either and had to call the AA.
He came out without a trailer  :rolleyes  but after he tested the resistance of the starter motor it started with a jump as the battery had gone flat.
So my brother was able to ride it home. Don't fancy his luck, 300 miles on a seat made out of rock and a 12 hour shift to look forward to tonight. :\
So, as Red says, a good start to the season and hopefully the first of many this year.
I fancy a foccer weekend ride along the Jurassic coast in the summer ( no dinosaur or fossil jokes please) :lol

Thanks for a brilliant morning and getting me going at Nell's. Alex now tells me it had a "moment" when he went to start it after fitting tyres, which are nicely scrubbed in after the run to the Chalet. Looks like a new starter solenoid is on the shopping list, as although it started fine for remainder of day, don't want to be caught out again, as it played up last year and Alex cleaned it up a greased contacts, was fine until yesterday!
Wished I could have carried on to Loomies, was there last year on the way to Cheddar Gorge for the day, glad it was "rescued" and still operating.
Dogs fine, shame no-one was around to let them out :(
