Simpson Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 but have no idea where I'm going, meeting people or staying. I intend to arrive sometime Friday, probably early afternoon so I can get some riding in, then stay overnight and ride Saturday, leaving Saturday evening/night. Where's the best place to park and where can I stay overnight Friday - peoples houses/camp site/cheap B+B, anything will for a night.You can stay at mine floor / tent or something. And give one of us a bell in the morning, our numbers were on the last thread, and im sure we can sort something out. Just a warning to yoo all, my father may not be taking to him, and just ignore any stuff he says, he can be a bit old sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the best place to park the car when I get there tomorrow? Just noticed the postcode you put up, is that your place, it looks quite a way from Southend (for a trials bike anyway)? Am I going to be better off heading for one of the train stations or the sea front, bear in mind I have no idea where I will be going and will be relying on the sat-nav so the more obvious you can make it the better Edited August 20, 2009 by djb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Just got home from what little of the tour I could manage. What an amazing two and a half days, thanks to everyone who encouraged me to send anything and land nothing lol, I've got some serious bruising coming out!!! Special thanks to Simpson and his uber friendly parents for putting me up for two nights, massive I'm absolutely gutted I can't do the rest of the tour, I'm sure it's gonna be a barrel of laughs if yesterday and today are anything to go by. Enjoy it guys, can't wait for the video. Travel safe and ride hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Woken up and I'm pretty achey - but really enjoyed London yesterday. Met some really good people - some for the first time and some that I haven't seen in a very long time, so that was cool. It was great to see some creativity in the riding rather than just moving on to the next tap - even from those on 26" and 20" where pulling the moves Seems like I need to ride with some more 24" guys to be "Inspired" (pun intended) - it was a like a return to the old school!

Andrex Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Tour finished for me today, but what I did ride, I though was awesome, great to meet people. I have good memories as well. Its just a shame I couldn't finish the tour with everyone. The pub session on the Saturday night was epic, especially James and the Giant Bifta? lmao. I'll miss watching Simps smoke, untill he is back local of course. Would defiantly want to see another tour next year. I can't wait to see vids and pics. Hopefully ride with the people I met soon Hop the rest of the tour goes well lads, I'm missing it already Andy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
