What a pisser 
.
Having started this thread going and looking forward to meeting all of you for the first time at Goodwood, I am bailing out, abandoning, avoiding the issue, withdrawing and every other simile/metaphor that exists for saying that I won't be making the ride-out - on the GSA at least.
I've just had a minor operation on Monday at St. Richards to sort out a couple of swollen veins in my leg. It all went well but under general anaesthetic which surprised me. Anyhow, my left leg is now encased in a compression bandage and I have been warned off riding by the surgeon for the next two weeks. That definitely wasn't on the cards.
That said, as there should be no problem for me drive my auto 4x4 come Saturday, I am going to try and come along to Goodwood if only to take some shots of you lot as you ride off to a full day's fun and glory. I should have the pictures up on this site by the time you lot get home, hopefully.
So ride safe and have fun. (sob, sob

Hard lines ! Hope the leg mends swiftly. I am sure there will be loads of other occassions mind. Hopefully see you Sat. 
It seems alot of the South East socials are a bit far for those of us on the south coast/Downs. Perhaps we could organise a curry night
or something similar 
for us southerns sometime. 
I'll test the waters on Sat and see if people might think a good idea.

Bugger it, gotta shoot through. Off to Northampton after all
Maybe next time. Curry night sounds a great idea.
Old rascal, hope the legs soon mends and I get to meet up for a rideout.

see ya there bradders....!
Right is this the final plan ?
So let's start by suggesting this as a possible route for the South Coast participants and leave the thread open for alternative suggestions if anyone wants to structure a different itinerary to end up elsewhere.
Meet at Goodwood Aero Club for fry-up at 10:00
Departure at 11:00 onto A285 to Petworth
Petworth to Midhurst A272
Midhurst to A3 (Petersfield) A272
A3 south to A272 exit
A272 to A32 crossroads for coffee at Loomies
That is about 40 miles, say 45-60 mins of easy riding. Time for a brew and a natter and then onto the next stage leaving at say, 12.30.
A32 to A31 (we pass Bahnstormers if anyone needs anything)
A31 to B3006 (Selbourne Road)
B3006 to A3
A3 northwards to Liphook exit
B2131 to A283 (Petworth Road)
A283 south to Petworth
A283 Petworth to Fittleworth
B2138 to A29
A29 south to the big layby at the Bury Hill Whiteways lodge roundabout. Easy parking, lots of room, grub and drinks from cafe.
This should take about 75 minutes or so and we should get here around 14:00 to 14:30 hours. That leaves us some time for a chat and yet more grub/brew before sloping off back to the salt mines.
As I will be coming from work and it will take me 1 1/2 hour to get to goodwood, if I get held up may not get there by 11.00 so will need to play catch up
if not will meet at loomies unless the plan has changed
