Fox's Diner, this Saturday (23/10)

I've got time on my hands this Saturday. The Mrs is taken my sister shopping all day, so I fancied a run up to M&P / Fox's in Dorchester Oxford if anyone cares to join me.

.

Pick me up somewhere near Maidenhead on the way past and I'll join you!

Any ideas what the weather's gonna be like? Wot time (ish)?

Departure time will depend on what time my son is going to surface from his flea pit... At the age of 15 that could be after lunch

Seriously, he'll be riding pillion, so I'll have to give him a bit of time, so it'll probably be about 11.

I normally ride up the A308 from Windsor and onto the A404 at Bisham, drop down to the A4130 and on to Henly, so I can meet you anywhere around there if you like...

Cool, the missus has given me a pass until about 1:30pm so anytime upto about 11 (I s'pose 11:30 latest) meeting near Maidenhead would suit me fine.

If you ride through Maidenhead centre to join the A404 at Bisham, I can meet you in the Maidenhead Station carpark. Whereas, if you join the A404 at the M4 junction then the best place to meet would be at the Esso garage on the big roundabout as you come into the edge of Maidenhead from Windsor on the A308 (you might need to go 100yrds up the dual carriageway towards M'head then U-turn back to actually get to it from the Windsor road).

Of course, being a fair weather biker nowadays (had my time riding all year round when I was younger ) it all depends on if it's pee-ing down!

Buzz me on 07952 546281 if you want to discuss further.

My Gixer doesn't do Motorways, well not in mt recreation time... Twist roads only

I wouldn't expect otherwise........

..........but when you come into Maidehead on the A308 its a 500yrds blast up the A308(M) to the M4 junction 8/9 roundabout and then right onto the A404(M) - it saves you going through the town centre, that's all.

so I'll see you at the station carpark then? Bell me when you leave your place and I'll start folding myself into my levvers

Seeing as I only live 10 mins from there I'll see if I can drop along...

That said I'm meant to be at a Land Rover meet in Newbury and the local weather forecast is for the weather to be really wet... Joy!! It will be about the 5th time this week that the bike has been flooded!!!!

If it is giving it cats & dogs I doubt whether (weather ? ) I'll be going as I will have my son as pillion. I have no hang ups about riding in the rain, but I'd rather not put him at a higher risk too.

Yeh, as said previously, me on a bike and pee-ing down weather don't go well either, so we'll see if the Great British Autumn provides an unexpected stunner of a day

Bugger, I'm in N.Ireland for a wedding this weekend

Love Fox's diner too - the breakfast bap in particular - double sausage, double bacon, double egg..... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

Ride safe!
