This is a social meet at the Shire Horse pub in Maidenhead. There are some who ride down from Fox's way, Philbut & Warthog do so you could hook up with them and ride down mate?

What's the plan for tonight? Are you guys riding, or just having a beer?
PS. the forecast is for it to be bloody freezing!!
Beer, food and chatter.
It's always freezing. If you're not wiping ice off your seat before the ride home, you're not at the Shire Horse.

04-03-08, 02:03 PM
Fair enough, I'll pop over for a beer and say my hellos. You meet from 8, right?
Usually people there from about 7, though I won't be there til about 8 this week.
Warthog
04-03-08, 04:59 PM
Yeah probably from 7 onwards. Get there early to get the good seats! I will probably be on the bike, but it has been incredibly cold commuting the last two days.

I'll be there a bit before 7 I hope. Going to come straight from work.
See you all there!
No pub grub for me. Still relegated to 4 wheels or the wonky SR..... oy veh

Can't get hold of the car, and 30 miles back at minus 3 degrees is not a good idea, so I won't be coming I'm afraid. Have a good one!

My tyres are covered in redex(which seems to be oil based), but i'm still coming, unlike that big ghey Nick.
And that Ghey Ape who is still at work. :sad:

Decent turnout for the meet. Just the right number of people so that you can talk to everyone without any effort.
Nice to attarct another new member as well.
Boooo to Nick/Phil for not coming. Especially Nick....the roads were perfect from what i saw!
I was expecting to see a layer of ice over the bike. There was none so that was cool. Still had to be careful on the way home though because of the dreaded grit thrown all over the road. :roll:

I know a couple of others ways, but thought a quick blat home was in order! Which way did you go?
I sometimes go down the A4 to Taplow, then hang a right to Eton, or go out on the Maidenhead to Ascot road, into the great park and home!

It is..
SVNutter rides so quick he probably rode right round the world and got back to Windsor before the others.. :p
went left outa shire and through maidenhead and bray then straight
If you went through Maidenhead, I'd suggest you went right out of the shire, otherwise you'd have been heading straight into Reading. Either that or I don't live where I thought I did. :lol:
