Mayday run - 02.05.11
Guys n girls
Just a heads up that for those that are interested in such things, then the Annual Mayday run happens this Bank Holiday Monday. It starts at Locksbottom and ends up in Hastings. The route is essentialy a run down the A21. I will be in the carpark between Nettos and the Black Horse pub about 10am and will be taking a long route round to Hastings via Rye So whos with me? |

Be careful - Kent plod are cutting back on their bike team and are binning the bikesafe scheme in preference of prosecution rather than education... they (along with sussex) have unmarked bikes all camera'd up and will be all out to raise revenue... (my brother and his wife are both kent plod) last year there were 7 speed scamera vans along the A21 into Hastings so just go easy (especially as the police managed to kill a woman on the A21 the day after mayday through their poor driving)....

I shall be running around on the Mayday run. I've got no solid plans as of yet, but being based in Hastings I tend to ride Northish earlyish in the morning and ride back to be part of it rather than just hop 5 minutes to the seafront. Won't be going as far up as Locksbottom though. Rye does sound good, havn't done the Mayday run from that direction as of yet. Although I frequently run out there just out and about, some good roads around Rye.
I shall be keeping my eyes dead peeled on my speedo and the road ahead though. Will be on my best behaviour, after knowing a few people being caught out by undercover coppers on bikes (GSXR1000s in standard colours, stock exhausts, rider in plain black) I've had an eye on my mirrors and been very cautious. |

I'm game. It sounds like I'll have to let off steam on the way to the start line though before trundling down to Hastings with everyone else.
Where Locksbottom is I really don't know yet. I'll find it though. |

The route that i am looking at taking will be the A21 to Tunbridge wells, then the A267 via Wessons Cafe, then off to Hastings. Ride home will be via Rye i reckon. |
