[Aug 29, 2011] Ashford ''Chile Dog Run'' (TN249JZ)

Bummer.... Fekin technology, great when it works, when it gives up.. Good to see you though, albeit briefly.

 

Great day Over 6 hours out in the sun on some nice roads... 21 bikes i think at one point, and i dont think anyone got lost.... Thanks for the route Allan, well done everyone for keeping the drop of system working so well...
Hope you got home ok Amber...

 

Great turnout today guys n gals. Enjoyed the food at the Riverside Diner and the ride to Rye. Shame about Dave's fall and bike damage. Was very funny watching Tom's "bike maintenance" though. Glad he couldn't find a lump hammer!!!

 

Yeah was a great day... I thought this morning i'd only be out til 12ish then head home... But was having far too much fun, got lost on the way home tho, I got to Tenterden and thought it's a straight road from here up to maidstone way... Then ended up in Ashford (again... Wtf?? So i gave up and found the motorway) it even took me 2 attempts to get out of Rye, lol... My sence of direction's rubbish...

Thanks Alan for leading the way... Some nice roads there... Looking forward to doing them again... Dave. I hope the bike makes a full recovery...

 

Got lots more to do mate. Try n get down after work one evening?

 

Good ride today. I did 154 miles all in. Aching all over now though!!

 

Thanks folks for a great day out, and thanks for the warm welcome. I thought I saw Mousematt going through Tenterden, but thought no he was going up the A21 to north kent, nvm sounds like you had a good long run.

Thanks again see you all next time.

Great photos Jim... love the captions... The towing sign's awesome...

 

Was she out too? I didn't see her carving up traffic.

Thanks for a great ride out chaps, aside from the camber related issues. I suspect the changes to my rear suspension the other day will be getting changed back.
Big thank you to the 'pit crew' for helping me bend the relevent bits straight too!

Bike is back in the garage, everything back where it should be and working fine. Just a small dent in my pride and general demeanour and a new mirror to buy.

 

Me too... I was just short of 150 (not intentionally tho)... Got cramp in my shoulder just after I joined the M2 from bluebell hill, I couldn't shift it while I was riding...

I thought I'd avoid the A21 after you said it could be busy with Holiday traffic... yeah, even though I went the wrong way I still enjoyed it...

 

£7:59 for new mirrors!!

We didn't go anywhere near Camber Dave ???

 

Oh the unceremony!
But I was right, the bike stalled. As I had my finger on the button already it was inevitible the bike was going to go the wrong way.
