I'd really set myself a goal of finishing my hybrid for this event, but have to admit defeat at the last minute due to cables of all things!
Mellow I'd read your comment about getting lost and intended to PM you as I live 6 miles from you. I've been to Gibson's before for my pipes and so know the way.
Still might go for an hour or so in the car ;-) ;-)

I was thinking of attending but dont wanna ride there on my own cos il get lost Do you think you can find your way to the Dartford tunnel? I could meet you there (dependant on it not pi$%ing down) I'll probably be going if the weather is ok. I'm happy to meet at the Dartford crossing (or somewhere nearby) ?.

Looks like cloudy first thing, then brightening from late morning for sunny spells for the rest of the day No you can't stop at the Dartford crossing. Best bet would be to get off at Junction 1A (just before the crossing) and meet somewhere off there ?.

There are services at the north end of the tunnel but perhaps It would be better to meet before going through it. There must be somewhere off unction 1A that we could meet. Which way would you go Mellow? A20 or M20 or perhaps A2? Where abouts are you Looey? I am in RH12 area but right on the Sussex/Surrey border.

Where abouts are you Looey? I am in RH12 area but right on the Sussex/Surrey border. I'm In old Coulsdon just inside the M25, we'll probably be joining the M25 at J6 (Godstone) The petrol station Nick suggested looks a perfect place for those meeting south of the Dartford Crossing. Maybe we should decide a time to depart from there ?. That gives everyone the opportunity to get there what time they like but knowing what time everyone is leaving from there ?. I don't want to get up too early, how about 10:15 departure from the Garage ?.

Sounds good I'll aim to get to the garage for 10.00AM to leave by 10.15
BTW you have to get off the M25 at junction 2 which is the A2/M2 junction then head up to the next roundabout.

How can you be lost when you haven't left yet Mellow ? Just google map DA11YT postcode and you can see the garage just off the roundabout. I have PM'd my mobile just in case

Im Takin My F2. I Thought The A2 Blends Onto A282/M25 Yeah it does, go past that exit to the next one & that takes you off the A2 onto a roundabout under the M25, exit the roundabout on the turn off before the A282/M25 one which will take you on a road along side the M25 up to the next roundabout where you will see the garage. For god sake google maps & take a look

Tried posting earlier but think i lost internet connection. I'm gonna be heading up so I'll meet you guys at the garage (DA11YT) if this is still the plan? Will aim to get there for about 9:45-10 but coming from Worthing West Sussex so not sure on travel times. Will be on my F2 as in my avatar. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Don't plan on putting the Rd on the dyno through fear of it blowinh up. Heard some horror stories but will be good to see some bikes and meet up!
