Arrive on a roadworthy bike with a full tank of fuel and an empty bladder. Have with you sufficient funds to cover the costs of fuel and nibbles for the day. No incomplete knobbers, boy racers, girl racers, white line overtakers or late brakers. Vegetarians, nail glue and everyone else welcome.

Ride safely, at your own pace and enjoy the day.

I’ve promised Sue a trip to the seaside and we were aiming for Selsey - but she got frozen on a little jaunt today and might not be so keen on paddling in the sea now. I’ll try to persuade her to get up early enough to meet you at the Ace anyway.

I’ve been in touch with Geoff and after a leisurely stroll around Goodwood we’re off to The Departure Lounge for lunch. Warm, friendly and vegetarians catered for, bring your own table cloth if that’s what you like :wink:

Or carry on through to Selsey

I wasn’t going to play out today, good call from GeoffRichmond Park deerHammer dropped on the M4 A3A chavvie ford, well done Brian & Sue more to followSuper Cars and old crocks (sorry Geoff) at GoodwoodCar Boot Sale Classic Car Show at The Departure lounge
Hadn’t re-fuelled since early doors and was running low on the go go juice so I skipped the M25 in favour of the M3 into London thinking a garage would pop up soon. Running on vapour eventually got some go go juice on the A406. So once back in London I dropped in on Mum for tea and cake before dragging my carcass up the B1057 to Finchingfield and beyond, did the last 18 miles on unclassified gravel tracks to reach the far side at 7:30

12

Looks like we missed a fun day out while we were getting a bit of sunshine in Cumbria :slight_smile:

13

You would have been proud of us. Sue stayed on the pillion through the ford (which is more than she does sometimes without a ford) and only one of our little band took the tricky-to-negotiate footpath to avoid getting his wheels damp.

I feel complete as an LB rideout rider now.

14

There’ll be plenty more and the forecast is for a proper scorchio of a Summer

15

Any idea when the scorcher starts? Doesn’t look like I need my sun tan lotion this weekend

Its been pencilled in for the future
