Viney's* Traditional End of Season Rideout - Sat 24th Oct (from Box Hill, Surrey)

I have been looking at the weather;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2695

It says for saturday rain but Sunday looks better that is right now.

If the weather is bad saturday, can it be moved to sunday?

Yes I should be able to make it.

Absolutely. But not with me leading it I'm afraid, as I'll be working.

I'll put a post up on Friday evening to confirm what's happening. The forecast is indeed sh*te at the moment... but then they said that about today for our trip to Wales - and we barely felt a speck of rain all day.

Fingers crossed!

So, it's time for...

VINEY'S* TRADITIONAL END OF SEASON RIDEOUT

*Sadly, because the big man has gone for a new look recently...

...he won't be able to lead us in the usual fashion - but will hopefully meet up with us in Brighton.

When: Saturday 24th October

Where: Meet at Box Hill car park (meet 11am, depart 11:30am)

Why: The clocks go back tonight, so it's the last rideout of the 'summer'

What: Ride motorbicycles down to Brighton (via some wiggly roads) and have some yummy fish & chips on the seafront

Who: Everyone, it will be a comfortably-paced bimble, not a flat-out blat.

***This is weather-dependant - so please check this thread the night before for confirmation that it's going ahead***

I've not organised the route yet - but if you can't make the main rideout, and you want to meet up with us in Brighton, then let me know and I can give you an estimate of our arrival time on the seafront once I've worked out a route.

Hope to see lots of you there!

Nope, just done my aquatic rideout thanks.

Cheers Mark.

No worries, I know Mark is fed up of hearing about this, but I have waterproof socks!

See you there unless it's moved

Time change:
Meet at 12:30pm, depart 1:00pm.

This is in an effort to avoid the morning's rain (and give some of us a lie-in in the morning... and me a chance to plan the route!).

For those who've not been to Box Hill before, or met us, our traditional gathering place is at one of the picnic tables in front of Ryker's (the cafeteria). I'll be on a blue Triumph TT600; Spiderman is on a red pointy SV650S; Jambo has loads of bikes to choose from, so who knows...

If anyone wants my mobile number just in case then please PM me.

It won't be a long ride, just a nice little bimble to the seafront, so hopefully the slightly later start won't really matter.

We'll be parking up at Madeira Drive here, if anyone wants to meet us down in Brighton. I'll guess it will be around 3:30pm.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Wow big letters. I'll be there, just got a new set of tires to slowly scrub in.
