So, with a little over a week to go, any idea on times, etc?

I presume there's a group starting at Blackheath. DeadEye, where are you joining us?

Also, who else is joining where (as it were)?

Yeah, times is something we should discuss. Its approx. a 2 hour journey there and obviously most of us will need to get home as well. So I would suggest we leave no later than between ~~12.00 and 13.00~~ from Oakdene so that its mostly light on the way back towards London - but this depends on how long we hang around Lydd / Dungeness

I would suggest something like 10:30-11:00 at Blackheath then move on to Oakdene. This should give us a bit of flexibility in people arriving and wanting to do a bit of chin wagging Google is suggesting its about a half hour from Blackheath to Oakdene so that should put us arriving between 11.30 and 12.00 which seems good without getting some of the students up too early, eh Christo? :P

(See first post for amended times)

How does this sound?

So far this seems to be the general consensus and I'm fine with that as well. I'll put some preliminary times on the first post of this thread but we can go over things and confirm this Friday on the Chat I imagine

JZS 600 · « **Reply #31 on:** 25 February 2013, 03:50:52 pm »

Yep, times look better!

Exupnut · « **Reply #32 on:** 25 February 2013, 04:40:42 pm »

Earlier the better for me also

Haha! Never mind, it'll be good seeing you again. I'm also curious to see what mad mods you've made this time! Did you get a new "for sale" sign for the exhaust?

Hopefully, I'll have my bike fixed. If I can't be certain of my rear lights, I might have to do a no-show. Fingers crossed!

Annoyed to miss this again, timing not on my side atm. Am determined to make the April meet (probs at Blackheath), and it's gone in my diary. Have a good ride chaps

Dead Eye · « **Reply #41 on:** 01 March 2013, 12:00:46 am »

Well, we shall all look forward to seeing you then Fuzzy

I think mr red98 has a plan for us to go North-West-ish in April

Fuzzy · « **Reply #42 on:** 01 March 2013, 12:22:00 am »

Okay, I'm in West London so that'd do me fine. Looking forward to it

ChristoT · « **Reply #43 on:** 01 March 2013, 10:28:49 pm »

Missed the pow wow on the chat earlier (helping a mate with luggage racks), so I presume the times are as in the 1st post?

steeeve66 · « **Reply #44 on:** 01 March 2013, 11:18:35 pm »

Yup, see you all at Oakdene between 11 and 11:30am

Dead Eye · « **Reply #45 on:** 02 March 2013, 12:28:54 am »

Yup, I think we are going with times as mentioned in the first post. I'll be online properly tomorrow evening - work went a bit crazy today so I wasn't able to get on properly

Would be nice to get a rough headcount of who will be joining us so that we don't accidentally leave anyone behind at our two initial rendezvous so post up people if you haven't already

ChristoT · « **Reply #46 on:** 02 March 2013, 01:03:13 am »

Well, I'll be at Blackheath.

I saw EndaF yesterday, he said he didn't think he could make it due to coursework commitments.

Also, I think Bozboz is planning to meet us en route between Blackheath and Oakdene; he's asked me to send him a text as we leave.

Would have done this one but bike is off the road while I wait for a part $:\$

locksmith · « **Reply #49 on:** 02 March 2013, 04:37:50 pm »

I'm tempted to dig the old bike out of the back of the garage tomorrow morning and blow a few cobwebs.
May pop in to the Oakdene to say hello and see what all the new boys look like

Wont come on the ride as I won't have time but maybe next time!
