Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - ChristoT - 10-01-14
Hi all!
Right time for a noo edition of routeplanner! :lol
This has been a pretty good year for the LoFos: the rideouts have become a regular thing now, and we've got a pretty good regular attendance. We've not been without comic moments (remember Squirrel Head?), and a few dramas too (Arfa and I exploring friction coefficients on consecutive rides... :o ). However, another month, another ride!!
More importantly, this one will mark 1 year of the monthly LoFo rides, and 1 year of taking the piss out of Exup for whatever reason we can think of! :lol :lol :lol So let's make it a good un!
My proposal is to do what we did on the first ever LoFos: The first group meet at the Ace Cafe, meet the other riders at Blackheath, then down to Saarfend for pint and chat. Let's see if we can do better than 5 riders at Southend (and see if we can get Bozboz to salute properly this time... :b )!!
I will be planning to do a Dead_Eye, and meet you chaps at Blackheath in my cage. The rest of you have no excuse though!! :lol :lol
Whilst admittedly the rideouts are traditionally held on the first Sunday (the 2nd), there's been a request to hold it on the 9th. Up to you guys on that 'un!
Any other ideas?
Merrrrrrv

I'll definitely make it if it's on the 9th and it's not raining
I have a bike that's running right now so no excuse.Got my son on the 2nd so can't make that weekend.
Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Arfa - 10-01-14
Sounds like a plan. I'll pencil it now and might actually make it!
Out East too, which is good for me. Although I'll have to head West into town to meet you, then double back on myself. No biggie.

The 9th is ok if it means more people can make it. Nice post Christo.
Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Dead Eye - 10-01-14
I'll do my best to make it - weather is a big factor due the particularly large distance (going to be racking up 350+ miles for that one)
Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Fuzzy - 10-01-14
9th would be great - first Sunday of each month doesn't usually work for me hence only making one meet last year

May be able to do it on the condition that we can leave Christo locked in his cage at Blackheath :lol

9th is good for me depending on the weather :thumbup
Re: Focced up Febuary - 1 year of LoFos - Exupnut - 10-01-14

Got my daughter on the 9th.
Great thinking to change first Sunday tradition for the 1 year anniversary!

Really... didn't "not fully concentrating on the road" get you in to trouble once before already? (I refer to the "verge on a straight road" incident)
Besides, what makes you think you'll even keep up? It's not the speed, its the traffic. I certainly couldn't when I was there last year and I'm pretty certain you won't be driving anything more powerful

Totally weather dependant for me. But it's on the cards.
