LONDON RIDEOUT MAY 11th

Postby Steve Holloway » Sun May 11, 2008 11:37 pm

What a great day! Scorching weather and a warm reception wherever we went.

Unfortunately Norm` had to drop out at the last minute due to unforseen circumstances, and was sorely missed. Not just for his sparkling wit and charm, but more for his ability to get us around London, due to his `insider` knowledge!

Luckily Gerry stepped into the breach and became our `Leader` for the day, taking us straight to the Ace Cafe for breakfast, before heading into Central London and the tourist hotspots. We didn`t get lost once, and didn`t lose anyone. Well done Ger`

Wow! What a fantastic day- I rate it at probably the best rideout I've had with the club- perfect weather and a good turnout. The only downside was that Norm couldn't make it, and as Steve said, he was missed by us all on the day!

I apologise for turning up a bit late with the truck, especially after me banging on about making an early start!! I hope it didn't spoil anybodies day.(Doh!). Thanx to all the guys for turning up- Gerry and Gary, Des and Mike, Steve, Colin + friend, Russ, Graham, and Dave. Also well done to Rick and mate for joining us for a while on a borrowed scoot in London! I'm sure we all had a brill day!

Special thanx must go to Steve for letting us use his mini bus and doing the bus driving bit, well done mate! And of course thanx to Gerry for being our tour guide for the day- cheers buddy!

All the day was great- it was my first visit to The Ace Cafe,where we met up with a few guys from Cambridge SC, and the reception we got from all the bikers was really good! ( Tho a certain person in our group did get a few strange glances!). So well done everybody, thanx again for making the effort- our scoots all looked sensational and we must have been the number one tourist attraction of the day! Commiserations to anybody who wanted to go, but couldn't, but don't worry, there's more great rideouts and meets to come!
