As you may be aware I have just left Middle Earth country where Biker Match activities are quite plentyful.

I now live in Hemel Hempstead and Cataraptor and I would like to get this area of the map a bit more active. I therefore propose we give the Middle Earthers a ride for their money and us Riders of Rohan could easily be getting together more often.

Is anyone in this area up for a ride to maybe Box Hill on a weeknight rather soon? or even The Ace Cafe.

We do plan a longer trip soon too To Essex which could be a weekender.

Please respond to this thread as I want to see how much interest in this area there is before making actual plans

It has started. Empire of Darkness has begun  for Middle Earthers.  I figured that I'd start out with some skirmish ride outs!.

hehehe Moonstone...... good wishes to you and the Raptor-man in your quest..... The Hobbits fromMiddle earth will always welcome any R.F.R should you venture this way..... overnight rest areas available too..... Mind out for the Yeti's though .                                                                                                                                                                             

Think maybe a meeting of the Hobbits and Riders of Rohan should be in order to firm up our friendship of the ring lol   A half way meeting point would be good so get your thinking cap on and we'll rally the troops :)                                                                                                                                                                             

Just to give some ideas of what Moonstone and I have in mind:

Within reach of Hemel Hempstead and sometimes on the way to the Midlands, are some bikers' meeting places like Jacks Hill Café in Towcester, H's Café in Dorchester near Oxford where the Red Kites fly, Box Hill and Newlands Corner near Dorking and Epping Forest.

In Essex, there's the Cabin Dairy Tea Rooms in Burnham on Crouch, Finchingfield near Great Dunmow and the Mill Beach pub on the Goldhanger Road within walking distance of our caravan. This has live bands on Saturday nights, serves foods and is biker friendly with the landlady's partner riding a Speed Four. He also plays the bass guitar and sings with the bands.

So, if you're interested in any of this, please post and let us know. We'll then see about arranging something. Of course it's open to local BM members too like Jabecs and Sumo. We look forward to receiving your input.

Good idea Moonstone.
I'm up for a few get togethers/ride outs (work permitting).
I'm a regular @ Box & Bury hill anyway, & H's is just up
the road from me.
Let me know of any plans,can't let the Hobbits have all
the fun!

Hi Nick
Thanks for your reply. Welcome to the site too I notice you are relatively new. I hope you are enjoying it as i do.

 I will certainly let you know of any plans . Any more takers in the souffff??
                                                                                                                                                                             

Bj a great idea would be good to meet at H's especially as he needs business to keep it going after its recent closure. We just dont want to lose it! we need to support it. A great venue and a nice road for both ends.                                                                                                                                                                               

Moon sort out a date and we will rally the Hobbits to join you , i was looking at that cafe earlier, how spooky is that !!!                                                                                                                                                                              

R.e, Think maybe a meeting of the Hobbits and Riders of Rohan should be in order to firm up our friendship of the ring lol   Ha ha are you weakening against the yeti hoard, do you need your ring firming up.......mmmhhh sounds like a problem BJ PMSL maybe seek medical help Jackie lol   Turns away and blends his camouflaged yeti ass into the background chuckling to himself and awaits next middle earther

You obviously havent seen my ass or you would know the answer to that !!!!!!!!!!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

I`ll be up for this.
I occasionally go to the Ace,or more frequently High Beech,Epping Forest.
I reckon a meet at Jacks Hill,Towcester would be a great rideout & about  equal distance for us southerners & middle earthers.
                                                                                                                                                                             

Us Hobbits are happy to wander southwards so bring it on Moon lol

Will get back to you all soon xx

As long as it doesnt clash with any rallies Moon Lady am sure the HObbits will attend (if theres food on offer its a definate for JP !!!)                                                                                                                                                                             

B.J. We were looking at the Sunday 23rd May but it's the night you go North.
  Does anyone in the Riders of Rohan (Home Counties) South or anywhere else if you wish to join us?  Fancy a ride out on the 23rd May  and we will come to some arrangement to meet up with the Midlanders another time? I will submit something on the events page if i get enough response on here
Moon Aka Lin xx
