PS - anally retentive grammar nazi says - you're missing a "to" in the third sentence.

Simon, I notice the March Southend ride isn't listed on the blog front page, though it is in the guide....correction needed?

Quite! Just come on the ride! The staying awake thing is easier than you think...

I've just discovered the 'stats' bit on the blogthingy. The 2011 page has had over 2000 hits this month.

Now we know THE DATE, could Bognor move back six days to Thursday 28th? We could then sit around on the front and drink beer on Bank Holiday Friday studiously ignoring events elsewhere.

"Gimme six!"

+1. Or alternatively, an extra ride!

London to Rye, with a half way stop at the M20 services at Hollingbourne. Rye is not quite the coast (but it used to be!) and it has some great cafes for Breakfast. Only challenge is that trains are hourly to Ashford, but then fast into St Pancras.

The ride down from Maidstone is particularly nice.

Do you think 'big Willy' did the Kate a ring? An act of give rather than takeaway?
This bugger Bognor and the royal family connection will not go away will it...
(What's all this doing on the ride thread? - Ed)

We are almost ahead of you. I'm being pressured in to running a Superspeedy ride to Dungeness. And I did look at the service station! Great minds or what!!!

I can't see why they've moved april fool's day to the 28th.

given I emigrated for a day the last time, when the wingnut married the china doll, I think a Thursday night ride to the Coast followed by an all day sesh in a pub with no TV and a republican landlord must be arranged.
