Anything this weekend ? Weather looks great.

The Ace is at Park Royal on the North Circular, quite a way from Basildon if you’re on a pit bike. Can’t see how you’d keep up on a run unless it’s a 250cc or so ? Might be wrong, don’t know, never been on a pit bike. What are they for ?

It wouldn’t sting if you kept your leathers on

was the pit bike a replacement for the pit ponies

Whats the pace ?

And will anyone not in Kent already be meeting anywhere to ride down to Oakdene for the start ?

From wikipedia -

"Pit bikes

True to the original concept of a small scooter used to quickly move around the pit areas of motor racing tracks and events. They look like motocross motorcycles and are also used in some motocross competitions. Recently the sport of mini moto (racing pit bikes on motocross and supercross tracks) has taken off. There are numerous series in the United States and there are also full fledged mini moto pros. The Las Vegas Mini Supercross is the biggest mini moto event of the year and it often draws top pros such as Jeremy McGrath, Ryan Abrigo, and Derek Costella. "Pit bikes are often, but not always 49cc.

its a 250cc pit bike sleaved to a 125cc dose about 60mph but gets there quick its basically a small motocross bike or a large thumpster but sounds BIG! and very noisey

I’m coming down the A1 from Stevenage direction, M25 over the bridge if that helps. Pace will be mellow I’m sure but there will be the oportunity for a bit of blasting away for anybody who fancies it.

Where are you starting from ?

Out by Heathrow, miles away

anybody want to meet at T hut?

I can meet at the t-hut… but i live off the A20…

so if ayone wants to meet me at the BP services off the A20 before the M25 roundabout and go from there…

otherwise i’ll just meet where-ever…

actually should read this whole topic been away for a few days and seemed to have gotten lost

i’m up for a run i’ll be coming from Enfield never been to Oakdene anyone going my way to show me were it is?

Thinking of joining this one for a change,going from Epping so could meet and travel down

Why is everyone in the east

sounds good to me where and when Mate

Simplest idea would probably be High Beech tea hut and then jump on M25,work out a time later,probably about 830-845,should leave plenty of time to go down to Northern France

Northern France?

Not everyone is east, I’m south

What do you ride? I know I should be able to remember, but my mind has gone

If you are coming on the M25/M26 might take you about 45 mins to get to the Oakdene (probably less) - allowing for time to find it. If you’re coming on the A25 it will take a while longer. Any other route and you’re on your own girl

Ok Garden Of England then!!!

Kent, Sussex and Surrey - only one is the garden of England… a garden that is slowly disappearing under crazy paving and brambles

Sounds like a good run, I’m in for the first part (new baby permitting).
