The tiniest little ride out ever!

Ride-outs & Events
#1

Hey all, this is more of me going for a little ride out tomorrow afternoon around 7:30pmish… from the A20 down through Swanley and Crockenhill and a little further if i can…

Just getting some more practice on my bike and seeing if anyone in the area would like to join a little learner…

If not - and if you happen to be out and about that way give us a little nod!

(my bike pic might pop up massive - i’m sorry I will change it soon)

Otherwise hope to see you all on Wednesday night… (i’ll be on foot) Do i just walk up to the first person i see?

#2

actually ignore this - i went out today to test the roads and bah humbug! need a good route - can anyone suggest anywhere?

I ended up in not so nice places with too many mini roundabouts and all signs lead to Sidcup!

#3

Yeah it isnt great around that area unless you are prepared to go past the M25, then there looks like some nice B-roads around inside that M25/26/20 triangle, but would suggest a good map! I would offer but i am right the other side of london…

As for Wednesday night, yeap, thats pretty much it, just walk up to anyone who looks bikeish…everyones friendly, and especially ginge…

#4

Hmmm DOH! i knew i lived on the wrong sign of London…

might go and check out the brands hatch area and see if that is any better…

I have been google mapping to see what the roads r like but i think i need experienced road users to tell me…

looking forward to tomorrow night!

Nothing wrong with Sidcup!!

I usually head out towards

brands/Eyensford/Otford/Kemsing/Tonbridge/Sevenoaks

and back again when I fancy a good thrashing

I dont have any planned routes, none of its motorways or dual carriageways - just lanes & all off the cuff & whatever way looks nicer at the time

#6

i was going to say the same the lanes from brands to tonbridge great routes some good pubs(with good food)

Try this:

The left hander from the A228 onto the A21 is a beauty if you want to try for a left Knee Down too ;0)))
