Weather looking perfect! I'll be at Blackheath 9:40ish if anyone wants to start from there? Otherwise I'll see you all oop norf...
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."

We are still meeting at the same place as before as said by Exupnut - its the little bike park place just off the A104. It's on the corner of the junction between Fairmead Road and Cross Roads - see here http://goo.gl/maps/1hLwL

How the hell did Google get a sunny day and there are no bikes there?! Don't mind what the actual route is as long as the meeting point doesn't change.

Exup is delivering some bad news, that's his today route, not the tomorrow route  :rolleyes

Ecky thump. 


An hour and 47 mins to do a 100 miles.  I hope not.  What time does this thing kick off anyways ?  Judging by Steeeve66's post it looks like 11 am.  If that's the case I can leave at 9am, but since I'm up from 6:30 in the am due to the boyz it makes little difference.


I'll send an SMS to Exup @ 9am telling him if I'm comin or not anyways.  Now to arrange the  RAC cover (perhaps)

Yep, 11am as I have it. Going to try to get there a bit earlier myself, take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures and put my feet up for a bit before the mayhem begins. Try and make it if you can - the more the merrier.

Since its a nice meeting time I imagine I'll be a bit early as well :)

Had to get up at 5am for the last one (or maybe the one before)

Scary at times but I'm no longer a ride out virgin :-).  All the guys were really laid back and supportive.

Punkstig was the ride out bouncer and did an awesome job, looking hot in his leathers (literally).  Kosmic and Exup did a good job with the route and leading and the rest of us didn't have anything to do but ride.

Very satisfying.

If everyone's happy with it next time then I'll do a full time job of it, good to meet all you guys, good roads and dam decent riding skills, next time I won't have to be stretching my leathers so I'll be in something more comfortable!  :D

Classic moment where Exup puts me in second behind Kosmic only for me to be left behind in the dust not knowing what's going on and if I was holding the lads up.  I did my best for a bit but then bowed out to the hard-core bunch.  Definitely shows how skilled the guys are and how considerate they were to wait up for the laggers.

Loved like a great day out! I got stuck on the m25 in the car and didn't make it back remotely in time!

I think I'm going to have to organise a ride out to save myself from being bolloked!
