OK guys. We meet at Walkers Cafe, Thetford Forest Park, Suffolk or 52.341055,0.535626 on Google Maps at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday the 15th Jan.

PS I think the post code given by Hornet and on the Cafe's website is wrong. Use the map coordinates or just go to the 5 ways roundabout and drive a few yards down the Brandon Rd.
:D

Looks like you're all going on pogo's. Shame, cos even though I'm an experienced off-roader (know the forest very well) I only have a lardy old 1150 GS. :( There's a bunch of ABR guys meeting up at the Angel pub by Snetterton tomorrow lunchtime and I think some of them are going into the forest in the afternoon. You may well meet them coming in the opposite direction. Have fun! :thumb2
 
Got my new front tyre fitted this morning and did the summer to winter wheel swap this afternoon on the DRZ.

Its Blue and has a new front tyre so very easy to spot.

Will be out on the lanes later in the morning and will possibly meet up this end as you all come through.

looking forward to seeing that little red hat and hearing your little bell:bounce1
 
Sunday

Sorry, but I will not be there, working until at least 2am tonight and back at the grindstone at 3pm in the afternoon. Pity, weather looks good. If anyone is out and about next weekend, I`m off work from Thursday through to Sunday:)
 
Thank you very much everyone. Six runners and riders initially that turned into seven during the day. I was the green lane virgin amongst a number of experienced riders. However everybody was very kind and didn't look exasperated when they had to wait at various junctions for me to catchup - I was never that far behind. Really.
Ultimately I decided a whole day was a bit much for an old fart who hadn't ridden in the "standing up all the time position" for any length of time before. My triceps and quadriceps were starting to feel the strain!
Got some phone numbers and met some really nice guys. Will definitely do it again soon.
PS Didn't come off but had a couple of 'moments'. Used the old adage of 'give it some wellie' when the back wanted to catch the front up and it miraculously straightened up and went straight ahead without further incident ...................... :clap
 
no problem mate its a totally new skill/feeling and the idea of the bike moving around as much as it does can feel very strange. The standing thing wont take long at all to get used to and the various muscles will get acustomed to the different positions to

next time your free drop me an email and we can arrange another outing
