Dun Dun Daaaaaaaaaa
For those who are new, its a gentle bimble full of mystery and intreauge from somewhere to somewere else and back again....
Enough already. Right it will start at Boxhill and end up in Brighton (Maderia Drive) and back again after chips, ice cream, breakdowns, lost key fobs, bikes falling apart etc etc :)
Meet 10.30
Leave 11.00
NB:

The clocks go back on that weekend
We will use the drop off marker system
No i cant garantee the weather (But thats the fun)
People will probably get lost
It's possible. Where's Riverhead? Is it near Portsmouth?
As seems to be the norm at the moment, another rideout arranged on a weekend I have the kids. So that'll be another no from me then.
It's possible. Where's Riverhead? Is it near Portsmouth?No. Its near Sevenoaks.

******Update*******
Boys and girls. I have changed the start location to Box Hill.
Mainly because its going to be chilly, and they have warm drink type things to erm, warm you up. So please do not go to Riverhead, as we wont be there.
Nope wont be there cus cant get the bike insured untill 17th Nov :(

No, box hill it is.
This is about the 5th time i have done this in as many years, and its always been from Boxhill. I dont know what i was thinking when i seaid riverhead :)
Most bikes to date was 54!

Box Hill bacon baguettes.
Alliterative and delicious.

Maybe us lot, and maybe others, meet up around Crossing or Thurrock to go down together to Box Hill?
If I can do the 100 miles to the start of the ride then anyone can!

V - will we be stopping for petrol, at that place just down the road, when we first set off?
Traditionally we all arrive at box hill with a nearly full tank and ride until Raf runs low and needs to fill up ;)

If hangover says yes then I plan to be there :D
