Very envious guys

. I used to do Sunday mornings in Brighton when I worked in London followed by afternoons racing the bikes at Box Hill

. That was in the old days pre Gatso

.

Have a great drive.

I have a pass

If there's a plan to meet at Worthing for breakfast what sort of time were you thinking?

Will, if we meet at Wisley for 7:15 I think we could make Worthing for around 8:30 taking the A24, maybe earlier

I have pointed MdR (who lives in Worthing) to this thread, hopefully he can recommend a greasy spoon for us to meet at.

Nick,
Thanks fro the heads up. I'm in as long as I can get my brakes back together by Saturday night. I'll need to be home by noon but an early start in Worthing should make that doable.

Darren, sounds like a plan

OK so I admit I'm a local to Worthing

but unusually for round here I'm under 65 years of age

There is parking next to a fuel station on the north side of the A259 HERE this might fit in well with the day as it's called Brooklands too.
That said I think a prettier place to meet would be near the pier HERE (as Ferry Man suggested)
I can't personally recommend any greasy spoons, there are a number of cafés near the pier but I don't know for sure if they all open Sunday a.m.
[edit]I've just called Macari's (by the pier) & they open at 9 but I've no idea what their breakfast is like[/edit]
Nick's route up through Alfold towards Guildford is my usual schlap to the inlaws & it's a great blast.
My record from the bottom of the A24 to Bramley on the A281 is 36 minutes - beat that

i could be on for this but need to get a pass out. have just re-fitted modified megaphones with baffling to reduce noise a little and improve low down torque so it would be an ideal test.

Martin,

Thanks, very useful insight.

Alright lads, meet & park by the pier and breakfast at Macari's (9.00am).
Sound OK?

Steve: you know it makes sense! enjoyed your write up of your European trip btw - good to see you wearing the DDK t-shirt!

Darren: let's meet at 7.30 - should give us enough time to get to Worthing for 9am - have sent you PM.

Paul: see you guys there

Everyone else: weather is looking good - come and join us

This was in the S without my verbal rev limiter beside me!
From HERE to HERE early one Saturday morning. Fantastic!

got that cheers Will, I'll see you there

Looking forward to it, might be one of the last good enough forecasts.

Where is everyone else hiding then?

Beach to Brooklands

Sorry guys, I can't make this, I have the kids and I'm not sure they'd appreciate getting up that early!! Have a good one.

Nick Moss · Post by **Nick Moss** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 8:31 pm

Steve, do you want to meet for the drive to Worthing?

Have a good time chaps. I've got a new floor being fitted next week and have to clear out my house.
