Hastings Mayday Rideout

Meeting a few at the 1066 café at 8.30 am. Plan to leave at 9 and head into Hastings. Will aim to head for the Pelican Diner in the hopes I can munch some . Then an amble around the stalls and bikes until we have had enough. If weather holds we may go for a spin somewhere later but not decided yet.

 

I'm going strait to the pelican that morning. I may see you there

 

Hopefully be there... Weather permitting

 

Early start, but worth it. Cleaned my bike with 'Jiz' so it's nice and clean

 

Turns out Jack-in-the-Green was today so that will make it slightly less manic tomorrow. Only slightly mind. Would explain why Hastings was so packed today!

 

Ah man. The girlfriend was looking forward to seeing little green people everywhere Good news for the bikes though. I'll be at Pelican for 9 if you guys make it

 

Weather is not quite as good as the forest. Best take some waterproof gear.

 

Yeah, that nasty mizzle! Ah well, we'll have to just find some warm, dry cafes to retreat too and watch the world go by lol

Although the satellite shows that this band of drizzle should pass by 9.30. Hopefully by the time we've had breakfast it'll be dry enough to wander round and see bikes.

 

Reserve a table for 5 plus you both for 930 lol. See you soon mate. Bet you're fretting getting your lovely bike wet... :-(

 

Tried, no reservations today matey. But it's still on the empty-er side of things

 

Well, we did get our pancakes - yummy! Quieter than usual going into Hastings, probably due to weather, but a good turnout as day progressed. Had a nice wander, bumped into a few familiar faces, ate a bit and then ate some more and looked at lots of bikes. Happy days

 

yes a good day even given the rain.

Dam! I came in the wrong way

 

Oh dear. Car v bike. Air ambulance involved. Fingers crossed for those involved.
