Yesterday morning saw a nice early 0730 start from our usual meeting place. As the weather later in the day wasn’t looking too good, the plan was for a fairly intense 3 hour ride before deciding on a breakfast venue. Within 20 minutes the eight of us were carving through some of our favourite Kentish B roads and into Sussex before a fuel stop at Storrington, for the benefit of the MT10 and V4 Tuono in our party. Then a quick A road sprint up to the A25 and the hoped for breakfast delights of The Overlook cafe at Biggin Hill Airport. The breakfast options were a disappointment, which for me, relegates The Overlook to a coffee and cake venue. One advantage of this breakfast stop is that home is only about 20 minutes away, so it wasn’t long before the bike was settled in the garage and I was settled in front of the tv for the Suzuka 8 hours endurance.
