Hey Gals!!! (and guys) Lunch ride this Thursday as HOT leaves for her big OE on Monday next and Emlyn is also heading away to the American North soon.

Figured we could have a get together ride and lunch. Fireliv has the day off especially for it and now all I gotta do is figure where we are going but at this stage I'm thinking Cafe 54 at Oxford again.

Not too far if its cold and we can leave at 11.00 from the peg as HOT has a morning appointment.

RSVP me so i can book the place out!!! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

If I have the RGV and don't feel like uni I'll turn up.

We all know how much I love straight roads!

Booked at Cafe 51 to eat at 12.30.
So far 8 are definate's with a further 3 undecided.
Meet at the peg at 10.45 with a view to leave just after 11.
Those going in cars just let me know so i can confirm with the restaurant.

If the weather is really bad I can take a further 3 in my car!!

I figure it may as well still happen as HOT leaves Monday.
cheers to all

Looks like there are a few lads who are just wanting to ride only. I think we are up to about 15. With this lovely weather today lets keep fingers crossed for tomorrow holding out to be the same. See you there!!
Oh and I forgot there are actually 3 gals heading overseas!!! MJScorpio is coming along and she's heading away in about 2 weeks. Thanks to H.O.T. for lending her a bike for the day.
Lucky lucky gals!!!

Seeing as you are all going to be on my turf, and I am on leave tomorrow, I could be persuaded to break away from my renovations to say gidday, although all that estrogen could be a bit overwhelming.

C'mon Bent pull a sicky and go for a blat.:niceone:

What a turn out Gals!!! Excellant.....
And..... we even had a bloke come out for a ride. No McWild though but oh well good thought and Justy had problems as well. But we did have TBR (?) is that his handle ladies??? Who braved the fem fumes and rode out there with us.
13 in the end with 4 in cars and rest on bikes!! was great to see everyone and have a really lovely chin wag in the sunshine after such an awesome ride through Asley Gorge. Just a few "piles" of grit left around the gorge itself but pretty much clean now.

Well Em fly safe tomorrow and try not to razz up them royal Canadian mounties too much, H.O.T fly safe on Monday and ya know turning up on a vespa at the ducati factory really ain't a bad thing!!!! :Punk::Punk:
MJ we will see you again before you fly out!!

Ride home was lovely and smooth with gals swapping bikes and checking the styles of this one and that one. Oh and wasn't that occifer :Police: a nice man give me a wee flash with his lights and a one finger tut tut wave.!!! :shit::shit: but all good!!!

Will post up some pics soon......

Great day to be out - and it looks as though everyone was enjoying it. As I looked out the office window at 11-ish today, I wondered what it would be like to be out and biking-about, and if it would be as good as I imagined it to be. Thanks to RQ's photos, I now know it would have been even more betterer!
