It's getting around London that's such a pain from here Kosmic. Every route =

But that idea of yours Paul, via Windsor? Tell me more - routes, road designations? Where to meet exactly? Then what - pleeeeease not M25!!!!!

Possibly. As per usual, weather dependant. Not an enjoyable ride to get there.....

the AA route planner takes you on to the A41 for then what i presume is the north circular and through blackwall tunnel certainly no real scenic routes from the tunnel.

Think I be inclined to head to pangbourne/Bracknell and to Dorking Reigate westerham staying under the M25 to Sevenoaks. Pretty certain that would create a nice ride.
Dropping down to east grinstead R tunbridge wells thru paddock wood is a good route but would add on the miles somewhat.

your right there nick......was thinking windsor and then head south east from there ....for you,how about .....down to "H"s cafe ,wallingford,left to henly,nice road that maidenhead and onto windsor meet up with good old red and onto oakdene...might work.........weather great here today

H's cafe? is that a good venue?

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #35 on:** 27 October 2013, 08:23:48 pm »

Yep, been there again today, good food, Alex George clothing and accessories next door (although I believe he's just been bought out and they were closed today), and have seen some interesting bikes there almost every time I go. Wasps are a bastard in late summer tho!

Yep I'm up for this one. A25 is of course a much better route of course than the M25 (if you've got the time). Takes you almost to the Oakdene doorstep.
PS Watch out for the Oakdene carpark. Full of potholes, which are hidden in puddles if it's wet
PPS Don't have the big breakfast. You won't be able to get out of the doors.

So that's another worry to go with the anorexic seating arrangement, skinny doors. what's their poached egg and soldiers like? or should I just go with the bowl of muesli

I don't see any muesli

Was this the cafe you lot had in mind: http://www.muffcustoms.com/muff-cafe/

I believe it recently opened, out of the way a bit near Stratford. Not been there myself, but there was a big thread on the London Bikers forum, where a couple of them checked it out and gave it the thumbs up. Only downside was no late alcohol license, yet. Shut at 6pm. No prob for a Sunday ride out meeting place though.

Love to join you all next weekend, but I've ear marked that weekend for sticking my new downpipes on (weather permitting).

That's one trip I'll definitely do

Kosmic Kartman · « **Reply #41 on:** 27 October 2013, 10:44:49 pm »

Nick.

From Windsor get yourself down to the A25. Try A308 from Windsor to Staines then A320 to Woking, then A247 to A25.

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #42 on:** 27 October 2013, 11:25:44 pm »

So this is also gonna depend on meeting time if I do any ride from the café too. But may have an alternative, which may involve a teabag

Exupnut · « **Reply #43 on:** 28 October 2013, 12:39:01 am »

I will provide the teabag ..............(providing it wont illicit any controversy )

red98 · « **Reply #44 on:** 28 October 2013, 09:29:04 am »

DONT DO IT NICK

....have you seen CHRISTO lately

red98 · « **Reply #45 on:** 28 October 2013, 09:30:53 am »

Lawrence · « **Reply #46 on:** 28 October 2013, 03:00:40 pm »
