Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Looking like a few of the KSB lot are tagging along so should be a good'un jim!!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

NOTICE TO ALL, ESPECIALLY RUSSELL, WE ARE NOW MEETING AT 11.30AM, same place. Just to allow one or two others to have longer in bed!! (Luke, bloody students);):D

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Haha what can I say!! Was also to allow one of the KSB lot to meet us after work

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Thats fine, im turning into a bum at the moment anyway, it will just be a bacon butty as Wessons for lunch rather than brunch!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Im sure i posted in hrere. How odd. Anyway, im a maybe as im off on Friday. Blue n orange SV with thats sounds like hell! Cant miss me :)

Any route planned yet?

Re: '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!)

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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.
;):D

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'

Heathfield on B2096
Hurst Green on a265

Cripps Corner on B2089
Northiam on A28
Newenden
Tenterden (Refreshments)
Maidstone on A274 (Chambers)

local knowledge back roads to Rye (c/o Jim)

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

does the heathfield bit incude a stop at wessons then :)

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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.

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

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

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Let me give you some help with finding Battle Abbey Luke, its the big ****ing medievil looking building right on the one and only high street in Battle.....Your welcome. :D

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'

Still in Norfolk as didn't want to travel on the tube with manflu and catch aids on the way home so hopefully will be back in Sussex 2moro and will nip over to battle to make sure i know the way!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

With regards the ride have you thought about how your gonna run it Jim? i.e. marker system or just the usual follow the leader? I only mention it as hopefully quite a few attending.

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

was gonna suck it and see mate, depends really on majority feeling but reckon should be OK with this numbers so long as no one goes tearing off.

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

I dont know what the others are like but Luke can be a bit of a loon.

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Yep I'm a complete psycho!! Quite happy with the go at the slowest persons pace method, not had much experience with the marker system tbh!!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

I enjoy the odd loon me'self Luke, s'long as it's the right time and place nothing wrong with that:)

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

My sentiments entirely!

Everything set for 2moro?

Looking forward to it, should be a good one, just a shame my can won't be here in time, would be nice to rock up sounding as good as it could!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

weather forecast has picked up even predicting a touch of sun while we're out on the BBC better get some kip before we ride i suppose!

See you all in a few hours!!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Just in tenterden having a cold drink at the white lion, really good ride so far let's see what Jim has up his sleeve for the rest of it!!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

sorry i couldnt make it in the end was waiting for my mate to turn up at 11 to ride down together, he didnt turn up and i got distracted tidying the garage, b4 for i realised it was to late to go, as i had to be back to pick the kids up :( maybe another time, if you come along this way again

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

just got in, cheers for a really god ride guys, thoroughly enjoyed myself and great to meet some new faces!

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Yes its always good to meet new people.

Re: 'Sussex & Kent Rideout 10th Sept'
 

Great day out, so much more fun than palying at being 'Billy no mates' riding around on your own!

Shame about the run in with the Traffic Warden, let us know how you get on with that one Luke.

Will post a pic of the 'weekday warriors' tomorrow and yes we'll have to head out your way next time Rhys so you can join in mate. I have a cracking run worked out around the Ashford area.
See you on the next one Russ and Luke!:D
