'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'

Think jim's keeping his route to himself atm, gonna whip out a good'un when we get there on Friday I'm sure (no pun intended!)

Lol, no it's still in development at the moment, what with times changing etc. 'All New Amber' from the KSB website wants to join us but wont be about till about 1pm and she then wants to take a jaunt up to Chambers in Maidstone cos she is test riding a bike, I think she would like the company as she is a bit nervous about the test ride.
I am at work tomorrow and will no doubt get a minute to thrash the route out once and for all, it'll be a good 'un tho.

Ok, not sure where I got wessons from, but just make sure I got get a butty from somewhere and ill be happy.

Wessons was in the plan Russell, you're not going wibble just yet! Lol.

Route is sort of as follows, other suggestions alternate routes welcome!
Battle Abbey
Heathfield on B2096
Hurst Green on a265
Johns Cross roundabout on A21
Cripps Corner on B2089
Northiam on A28
Newenden
Tenterden (Refreshments)
Maidstone on A274 (Chambers)
Ashford
local knowledge back roads to Rye (c/o Jim)

does the heathfield bit incude a stop at wessons then

No, but it can do if we want. The reason it doesn't is because we would get there prettey quickly after setting off due to the route change to pick up 'All New Amber', so I thought that you hardened bikers would prefer to get some miles under yer rubber before stopping, I'm easy tho we can stop there if anyone feels like it.

was thinking it might be a tad easier for me to meet you at wesson's/nearby as it's a lot closer and easier to get to (for me) and the majority of the ride is after that, gonna suggest meeting at wessons over a hot choc or to meet you on the go in Heathfield?

Edit: Well in hindsight probs still come to Battle Abbey easier for everyone involved just gotta try not to get lost!

Lol, make your mind up either is easy for Russ and I.

well as the plan is already battle abbey might as well just meet u there, just being a pain as i have man flu!
