    borrowed from the site organising it
    ......here are your instructions
    3 options for meeting...deptarting noon at polegate services Elaine to lead1pm JsGedge Triumph St Leonards where I will be taking the lead for 2pm JsGedge Honda Pevensey bay.....these are departure times so be on your bike ready to leave (tea coffee and biccies for the early birds)
    We have SERVsussex marshalls who will make our passage reasonably seam free where possible, roundabouts etc will be marshalled for us. It is imperative that we ride staggered and tight but leave the right hand side of our carriage way clear for the marshalls to re position themselves for the next exit. We will be taking a pace suitable for all machines and rider capability so please be patient....You are responsible for your own safety and the ma....
    ..rshalls are a courtesy so please use your usual roadsense.

    When we arrive at the enterprise centre we will park around the perimeter of the carpark please follow my lead....make you way to the stairs where luke or the Serv ladies will releave you of your £5 and then its upstairs for hot soup, mulled wine, mince pies and hot snacks , please feel free to empty your pockets into the SERVSUSSEX buckets...and get your raffle tickets to win a CBT, courtesy of JsGedge.

    The photographer, Emma, will be positioned at the bungalow cafe so best smiles and waves.

    The weather is still looking good for us, lets make this an event to remember for all the right reasons and show the boys and girls of SERVSUSSEX how proud we are of them!

    I'm ashamed to say it'll be the first time mine's been out in three weeks. The longest it's stood unused since the day I bought it

    i could but i didn't :D the ride is was fun :eek: heavy rain and windy meant the speed limits were pretty much obeyed :( but i have to say i do get even more impressed with my tyres, i used the R6 rather than the hornet and even the supersport tyres on that didn't miss a beat :thumbsup:

    looks like more rain is on it's way for this one, glad my santa suit is waterproof, ok so it's not red but instead bright yellow and isn't called a santa suit but instead call a rain suit :D
    Hopefully a few are still planning on making it ?

    Got absolutely soaked on the way home! Hailed at one point and soaked through my jacket. At least I have a nice pair of waterproof overtrousers. Shame they were at home

    I headed off at 1530 to get back before dark. Was a good run and the weather OK on the way there. Must get a Santa suit for next year.:)
