Future Mrs Matt has decided she wants to get married in a church so now we have to go on a regular basis so unless its a late one, I'm out.

You might want to head to Brighton to watch the old timers chuffing down to Madeira Drive http://sunbeam-mcc.co.uk/entryinfo?id=113. Might be some old bikes there too.
Was a cold start but a lovely sunny day last year. Might be able to make it this year but depends on what time Lady Poppy gets back from seeing her Dad the night before.
My weather app thingie says ****, **** and more ****..

this is the first year in a long time I don't have a friend participating in the pioneer run, normally a chilly start up on Epsom downs, but some lovely old machinery.

I got some lovely pics last year. Scurried down the quick way and got there for the first few finishers over the line and hung about for a few hours snapping away. Nice day out if it's not snowing or p-ing down.

theres something very wrong here, the GM isnt full of active people.
Wait until mr sun peeks his head out!

We're all active! Simply all busy currently, along with the combination of crap weather. Last ride out weekend, couple of weeks ago, there was 9 of us-and that wasn't exactly a warm day!

But floated the idea of coming back?
Sunday is looking cloudy. Who's still up for a bimble? (customary additional attendance thread will be sorted on Saturday)

im thinking a trip to the coast to catch the sunbeam club rally.
But at the moment the weather "snow snow and more snow" say otherwise. its spring for god sake!

Given that its been snowing for hours now n shows little sign of sodding off I fear this may be a no go!

they have an excuse thread up, think just about everyone has posted in there (including the originator), so I doubt anyone else will be out, I'll probably drop by Ryka's at some point as a breakfast stop, but not expecting it to be busy.
Cheers Mark.
