head just down the road to Orpington, then Badgers mount, through to Westerham then Biggin Hill, Keston, through Bromley, then Chislehurst and back to Sidcup. Some great roads to ride!!!

Was great that thanks :)
Whats up with riders in Kent?! I didn't get a single acknowledgment from a bike. Must have gone past 15, even sat at lights with some but they just stare away! Traffic getting you down? Even saw a blue curvy avec pillion.

Looking like either brekkie at the oakdean or run down to rye [or in my case both :D ]
Edit: yep waiting confirmation from someone, looking like brekkie at the Oakdene for 11 with a bit of a bimble afterwards.
Distance/time wise what is ok for you?

I was out for a ride on the roads around Bromley between 16:00 and 18:00 or so...remember seeing a sign for Badger's Mount and followed it as it sounded odd :) Said "hi" to all riders...most even said "hi" back...didn't see any SVs though :(

What bike were you on? I was cruising around bromley at 4-5 too :)
Blue faired curvey...with working indicators and everything!! (long tale of electric woes!)
Really nice to meet you gettin2dizzy, hope you enjoyed the bimble around Kent. :D

You too Lyn :) Was great fun. Sitting in the house now contemplating going back out it's such a nice day!
A21 to Hastings and back today was a stunner...death to midges in their hordes!! :)
Yep,
What a brilliant day. I went for a short ride this afternoon and stopped to have a natter with some of the locals at the local "unadopted road with roundabouts"...some good fun. Except when one bloke hit some gravel and binned the bike...ouch!

Yep, most people in Kent seem to go around with 'faces like a slapped Ar*e' ;) imo.
Probably to do with the overcrowding and stupid property prices.
I'm getting out of the S/E as soon as I can persuade the missus! #-o
