Finalised - 23rd April 2006 *be there or be square!*

Providing weather is good, this is the plan.

If there is any rain I think its fair to say the rideout will be cancelled on the day, will be up early to check and post to confirm.


When: Sunday 23rd April 2006, 10.45am departure

If anyone wants to meet before, I will be there at 9.30am for brekkie!

Arrivel H's :-2:30 (2:15 without fuel stop)

Total Distance start - finish 86 miles

From here, I'm not going to make plans, as people will most likely want to disperse either home or for further riding (which is likely to include me) but this can be your own plans.

As a route back to Oakdene may be needed by some:

A2 to Canterbury - A28 to M20 - exit Jct 3- M26- first juct (go under motorway) A20 to Oakdene.


PLEASE CAN EVERYONE FILL UP AT THE OAKDENE FILLING STATION, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO STOP LOADS OF TIMES FOR SEPERATE REFUELLING, TA!

Also if everyone can make sure they keep the bike behind in their mirrors, and if you can't see them, slow down or stop at the next junction (thanks to Rictus for the idea)


Can I please have names of people who are coming so I can get a list going?

Have Hall13UK and Viney willing to cover tail end and hopefully pick up stragglers

I will take phone numbers etc closer to the time.


Cheers, Jake

Right lets get this straight, I AM AT THE BACK, You lot will be in front ok..that its all.

viney and hall13uk will be picking up the stragglers, rest of us will be in front

Not sure yet, depends on how we get on with our garden project

But could be up for this, but will probably not do the whole ride out, probably will leave you all at Little Chef after coffee at Rye.
