GM seaside rideout 10th June ***UPDATED*** [Archive] - SV650.org

sv_dan and Kwakadan both agree that an SP2 would be a great choice of bike. But I do like the Mille for rideability, the SP2 is nice but quite a serious bike.

sarah

18-04-07, 10:32 PM

so who's up for it?

THE PLAN:

Using the marker system we will...

Meet at Boxhill at 8:15am (leaving at 8:30am)

For those that can't cope with getting up quite that early we will be stopping off for brekkie at The Chalet in Cowfold and will probably be there until 9:45ish

Then we'll head off down to the seaside and stop for a bit

Then head up to Newlands Corner where the ride ends!

If people PM me to let me know where they plan on meeting up: Boxhill/The Chalet I'll do my best to make sure that we don't leave without anyone!!

Also, if anyone isn't familiar with the marker system, please let me know and I will explain!

if eviltwin and i have a new bike by then we may well have to go at the back if we are running it in. will have to see what happens, don't know if we'll be getting a new bike or not yet. a ride leader will be needed though ;)

Maybe :D We'll see, because I'll be in brighton, and shell be in enfield. I can go up to hers on the saturday, sleep over, then we can bimble on down to box hill early in the morning, meet with you guys. Will you be going down the A24 towards worthing?

Matt

not sure of the route yet. if you are coming from brighton it's quite a nice ride up to the chalet, you could meet us there if you want.

the only definite plan so far is to meet some peeps at box hill then head to the chalet for brekkie and meeting up with peeps who don't want to go to box hill then head to the coast (not sure where yet) then head north and finish at newlands corner
