Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Hi all. Not sure what's happened to Mr Alpineblahblah's plans to come to The Ace today... Spidey's not heard any more from him.

So, Spidey (blue naked curvy SV) and I (black GS500F) are going to meet at The Ace at 1pm, grab a bit of food, and go for a blat for a few hours. If you'd like to come too then meet us there! (Maps and route ideas are welcome too, as always ;)).

you likely to head south o't river?

doing a bit of c# interview question revision but could be up for it a bit later on!

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Probably not I'm afraid... more likely to be north west (ie Buckinghamshire / Oxfordshire) - just as we'll be in that direction anyway at The Ace. Otherwise we'll spend our rideout time getting through London!

oh well - ride safe & don't fall off.

If you came into contact with Bear yesterday, his falling off disease may still be contagious......!

Just back - thanks guys for a great afternoon.

Paul - I think we learned a valuable lesson today - read the friggin signs, eh?

See y'all soon.

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Dude, reading signs wasn't the problem, missing them at xxx mph was :smt038 , soz again Caz and Spidey!

Great little bimble led by Caz who led us to the B4009 and then let us loose, excellent.

My lesson for the day was not to forget my clear visor although on that ride back on the M40 in the dark I could see pretty well.

Cheers,

Paul

Well, if we're going to think about lessons to be learnt... then mine are:

Join the B4009 much further west (at the A40 or even the A41 [in which case we can pop in to Saeed's for a cuppa]). We'd only just started getting to the really good bits when it was time to turn round and go home again :(.

Take a map that's got more detail on it than the one I had... to minimise the 'getting lost' / 'where the f*** has the B4009 disappeared to?!' aspects of today's ride.

Thanks for a great afternoon out though guys, was top fun.

where is the B4009? Know that generally quite lived there long enough! Next time you guys go up there let me know I'll come up may know some bits you guys don't there are some good lanes, with good pub food there. My favourite is the one nr Chequers.

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

OK come clean - what did you do? ;-)

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Yeh nice rideout guys, excellent to be led by Cazz too.

Sorry i buggered off @ Hanger Lane roundabout...i did try going slow for a bit buy you can only o so slow along that bit of the North Circ befor cars are up yyour backside and flashing you.

Got home, got warmed up and then back out on the bike to my mates firework do so a great day all round.#

Oh and that barmaid at the last pub? C'mon lad she was a minger!!! What the heck did you guys like about her then?

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

She had a nice bum! :smt055


Yep, me and Peter (mr anderson) missed the sign because i saw him shoot off, so I naturally followed. The poor Duke was maxed just before we backed off and saw a patrol car on the hard shoulder :smt075

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

did u get done or did u slow down in time?

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Nah, he didn't see us - we were going to quick for him.

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Ah, i see. A nice bum can do wonders in making the package as a whole more acceptable.

And i didnt se it cos she was walking towards me at the time...and i'm far too much of a gent to turn around and have a gawp. Me, stare at women? Surley not. :D

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Good thing I wasn't there then...

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Boy racers, eh? Jester may have earlier made jokes about women not being able to read maps... so now I'll make jokes about men not being able to follow simple instructions... say... for instance... "we'll be leaving the M1 at Jcn 11".

Still, it gave Spidey and myself the opportunity to have a coffee (with free piece of fudge) at a pub straight out of Phoenix Nights. We know how to have a good time.

Oh, and I then discovered last night (when I went to buy petrol for my car) that I'd left my debit card behind at the petrol station by the Ace. I'm hoping that nobody went for a shopping spree on my behalf in those 24 hours...:(

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Oh, sh*t no. I hate doing things like that. But learn a lesson from me hun. Always be broke that way they cant spend much if you got jack all in there :D
Thats the reason why i'm broke...well thats my excuse anyway.

Oh and btw "we" didnt have the fudge...Cazz had it all!!! Greedy girl.

Re: Small-scale bimble from The Ace today (Sat 3rd Nov)
 

Technically I didn't have it "all". You did have some of yours, but complained that it was "too crumbly". Fussy boy. Tidy girl.
