Sunday 18 May

The weather is supposed to be cracking on Sunday so I am going to sample some of Surrey and Sussex finest.
As I have to be back by 1300 at the latest for a "social" engagement I intend to start off at, for some, an un-Godly hour. So, if you can drag yourselves out of bed and want to join me, details below:

Meet at The Oakdene Cafe, TN15 7RR
Depart 0900
Duration ~ 4 hours
Pace, whatever you want but I will always ride my own ride and will wait if necessary.
Refreshments at The Chalet Cafe, RH13 8DU

All welcome.

 

I think I could do that Jim.

I need to be back by 12:30-13:00 will that be possible ?

 

Yes, I intend to be more over your way around that time so you can always cut short and head straight home.
Be good to see you Steve.

 

JimBo, give me a ETA for the chalet, or ley me know the route and i'll join you at some point

 

Will do Ray, after dinner when I've thought about the route .

Any more for the "Skylark"?

 

If no-one else is interested I may start further west.
Anybody?

 

Further west as in where?

 

Only The Grasshopper Inn near Westerham. Not very far west but a little closer to home for me?
Interested?

 

I need to take bike for a test run as it had a new clutch fitted today, it is blinkin stiff so as long as your route doesn't go through every town in the south east I would like to tag along, or may meet you at the café, what time were you thinking of being @ the grasshopper?

 

I'll leave The Grasshopper at 09:00 still.

 

Ok, I'll aim for the grasshopper at 9.00

 

Where are you Steve?
RedRock and I are leaving The Grasshopper now. Sorry!

 

Had a good run with Lizzie (RedRock) with little traffic with refreshments at The Chalet.
Got back home in perfect time, but I'm now waiting for SWMBO to get ready!!!!!!!!!!!

The cafe was surprisingly quiet. I'd already psyched myself up not to eat, so was a bit disappointed I missed not having to queue! I bet it snakes twice round next time I'm there.

Didn't hear from you Steve so I assume you didn't intend coming along.
Apologies if you did.

Thanks for the company Lizzie.

 

Thank you Jim for a fun ride out, great route - shame about that closed road, just as well you know the roads round the Crawley area, as I didn't see too many diversion signs. I hope those baby rabbits learn very soon, not to play dare in the roads (they weren't that good at it).

It was very nice sitting in the dappled shade out the front of the Chalet with a cool breeze.

 

Hi Jim

I did text the number that you have me last night saying that an unexpected drinking session would mean that I wouldn't be up in time. May I sent the text to the wrong number?

 

Right number mate, you must really have had a good night .
No problem, I just didn't want to let you down.

Next time.

 

Forgot to mention meeting Vitesse45 and Ali at The Chalet.
Good to see you Ray, have a great trip.

 

Just looked at the number I text too.

Yup, it's not your number alright.

Not sure who I sent the text too ... Ooops
