A20 is not a bad road. When I've done in the past (plenty of times as I used to work in Maidstone) I've usually used the M20 to bypass Maidstone... only a few junctions. Past Maidstone it has some nice fast open sections with plenty of bends and gentle undulation.

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.

Re: lofo`s november ride out - nick crisp - 27-10-13
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!
Re: lofo`s november ride out - mtread - 27-10-13
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.

Takes you almost to the Oakdene doorstep.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 :'(

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).
