Nightrunners Sat/sun 21/22 June

Posted a little later this year, but I hope some of you can make it.

A ride through the night using some of Kent and Sussex finest roads . The night of 21/22 June is the shortest Saturday night of the year so that's the chosen date. The moon will be a week past full but will still throw some of it's silvery light on the ride. It doesn't get truly dark at this time of year.

If you are worried about being able to see don't be! I'll be leading all the way and you can all follow me off the ro.... follow my tail lights.

meet at Blackheath Tea Hut (SE3 0UA)
for a midnight departure
destination Market Diner Brighton (BN2 9QF)
route to be decided
pace will be dictated by ability to see!
return in the early hours

The Blackheath Tea Hut and Market Diner are a couple of the few all night cafes left now. They are also not a million miles away from most people's homes, easy to get to and easy to find.

As this requires a bit more commitment than your usual rideout please let me know if you intend coming long. I'll go whatever. Everyone welcome and I can guarantee you'll enjoy it.

looks like this could be just me n you Jimbo lol

 

A repeat of last year then!

 

I'll join you guys on this one just make yourselves known, Blue Tiger 1050 and I'll probably have a GoBikerGo hoodie on

 

I'd forgotten to BUMP this so a timely reminder.
Only two weeks away!

 

Easy enough to spot ...just look for the guys with the zimmer frames or one with a bolt in his head ( i kid you Not)

 

There is no luck involved ...just commitment....stop whimping out and give a resounding "YES...im in"

 

looks like we may have a couple of virgins along Jim......you did mention the newbies have to pay for the Creator of the idea and the Leaders Brekkie didnt you?

 

By the way.....i hereby lay claim to be the creator if the Night Crawlers ride out as initially i fell upon the notion as a member of another forum during a Drunken evening of boredom. Needless to say i made the proposition whilst drunk but elected to suggest the ride on a night in the future, Lo and Behold it became a success and has been an annual event since.

 

Oi, it's the leader that gets the breakfast, not the creator!

 

BUMP

This weekend. Don't miss it!

 

I'm seriously considering......another chance to get lost again.

 

Would be great to see you again Tomas.I'll make sure we stay together for this.

Anyone else a possible? If you are considering joining in please note I will leave Blackheath at midnight.

 

An excellent Night crawlers outing, one of the best so far , expertly led by Jimbo the human sat nav ( thanks Buddy) and with Tomas and A.N other along we had a hoot.
Gave the Falco a proper send off spanking on the last leg, one she wont forget in a hurry.
Great company great roads and a gutbuster brekkie to round it all

 

A great nights riding with great company. Thanks Pete and Tomas, and A. N. Other.

A good mix of traffic free roads, and I didn't lose anyone, or hit any wildlife!
The Ashdown Forest at dawn, wow, stunning. England at it's best.

Only downside was yet another puncture! Close to home too, but sorted by the AA. Thanks for waiting with me Pete, chance for a good old chinwag . Goodbye Falco, and looking forward to your new steed.

 

Well, that was something new. First time on a bike at night and me trying to keep up with big boys. Thanx guys. Great scenery courtesy to Jimbo. Very tired coming back trying to avoid little bunnies and other wild life springing into line of fire.
