I found the website almost accidentally and its nicely taken up an afternoon of my work catching up on all the posts. Lots of useful information for a newbie on here!
I moved to London back in September and am currently staying in Blackheath where I stumbled upon the Friday night meet by the tea hut on the A2. Met a couple of decent blokes on old classics (the bikes were older than me !!).
If there are other newbies/ riders willing to go out with a newbie for a ride sometime in the area, please drop me a PM- I’d love to meet up. (I’m not a boy racer but no pootler either- just like to get where I’m going quickly and safely).
