forecast is for some light rain in morning, clearing by afternoon.  Sounds like Hastings revisited...

I have just found this, looks good.   Start at Ace Cafe at 10-30   Route:-  A406 (North Circular), A13, M25, A2, M2, A229 to Margate   Bands start at 12-30.   I will join in at Nells cafe on the A2 that is the 1st slip road after the A227 Gravesend turn off. I will aim for 10-45. However I may avoid the M2 section and take the A2 and rejoin after Faversham.

It looks like the rain has stopped and the forecast for the rest of the day is not too bad, a high of 15C. It looks like today will be the best weather we can expect for the nexr few days.   I had better get my act into gear and make a move soon.

completely messed up on this one....waited at a place where the run didnt pass....made it down there and met sprint56 and was meant to call hellboy ..must do better..lol..must be my age. the trouble with not getting it on the site calender sooner was due to late notice of the run...oh well Smile

Got there without any rain. Loads of bikes and people around. It rained a little while I was there but not enough to spoil the day. Left about 15-30 ish and home at 17-10. Slight rain on th way back, but again nothing to worry about. I had a good time but didn't meat the others, my fault for a last minute decision to go and not making any arrangements. I hope every one else had a good time.   Sorry Sandi, I went to take my 1st photo and my battery went flat. I was most disappointed.

I left the Ace at 10.30 rode the route arrived bout 12.15, met up with Tuftyjohn bout half 1 had a tea an a chat and left bout half 3 home for half 5. Sorry Sandi no photos. We must try harder in the south to organise earlier and get the numbers up into double figures

Well thats three so far who made it. Thats equivalent to nearly ten in the south.   SPRINT have you put yourself on the event?
