Relaxed The Carnage easy sunday ..5th May

just gauging interest ....
meet at Oakdene Cafe around 8.30 if you want a brekkie to start or 9.30 for a 9.45-10am depart
heading down towards hastings / Rye then across country to folkstone up towards canterbury and back towards maidstone.

Pace...easy going (and i do mean easy ) been a while since ive ridden without ripping the arse out of the bike at any given opportunity.
Stops will be applied for a cuppa at rye and maybe an afternoon refreshment at a public house if required.
for those who have been thinking of bringing a partner but have always thought twice due to pace ....nows the time
Anyone looking to get out and stretch the bikes legs ...have a nice day this will not be for you.

this has also been posted on another forum so an oppertunity to meet other riders

 

Sunday is the one day I can't do

 

Me neither. Good idea though if the originator posted what sort of pace the ride is to be, like berserk (as if), brisk, commute or pillion/learner friendly.

 

I,ll join you mate, if you pop in at my place?

 

I think Carnage wrote "

"

 

Carnage pace is always easy going !

 

only when your about Alan ...i never leave a rider stranded ..not even the pensioners

 

You gonna call in or what?

 

waiting to see if any further interest is raised ....looking bleak from all sources at the mo though mate ....feel free to make alternative arrangements Al nothing is set in stone it was as stated to gauge interest.

 

Ah, you probably couldn't keep up anyway?

 

I'm very interested (if I get my bike back from MoT / service today or tomorrow). I know I have a heap of work and other admin things, but if I can work out where is the Oakdene, then I'll either meet you there or join in part way towards Hastings/Rye. Maybe Northiam is a good bet!

OK. I've found the Oakdene - at least on a map. Whether I can find it in real life is another matter

 

wouldnt try to Al ....its gonna be a million miles from that sorta ride ....nice and sedate , take in the scenery ( keeping a close eye on the road of course ) id say it will almost verge on the mundane for most people but i thought it would make a change from tearing around like our arses are on fire.

 

keep checkin in PM , if it doesnt pick up on interest either here or the other forum ill probably cancel and just do my own thing with the missus as pillion

 

Get yer arse down here Pete. I am a sedate retiree now.

 

Is 'PM' post matins, as in 'afternoon / evening' or 'Panel Man'? Whichever, I'll keep checking!!

 

I have my bike back, freshly MoT'd and serviced! Well done Fast Lane (again), considering they had wall-to-wall bikes from drop-ins wanting to go on the May Day Run. Definitely need to get out now...

 

If all works out as Carnage suggests, we'll be long gone by 10:30. I've met one of the Essex natives; he seems friendly and I didn't get eaten by his cat (not a lion). Are there roads in Essex? Rideable on a bike? Sounds like a super Mark II plan.

 

I really fancy it Pete but off to France tomorrow and out Monday so sunday is family day....Do post another Pillion friendly ride though as I would like to bring the other half along....
