  1. The Pioneer Run for veterans takes place this year on 22 March. It starts at Tattenham Corner, Epsom Downs at 8am and proceeds the 47 miles to the Madeira Drive, Brighton. There are no Ducatis in it, obviously, but there are hundreds of interesting old contraptions dating from 1896 onwards. Lots of spectators also turn out on classics and specials for the day.

    Like last year, I am thinking of riding down to the Chalet Café (on the A281 a mile south of Cowfold, Sussex) by 8.30 or so, getting a fry-up breakfast, and watching the bikes go past. Afterwards might go down to Brighton, especially if the weather is good. Or maybe take the A272 westwards to Loomies.

    Anyone else tempted?

  6. I think you'll find that Loomies has closed down Im afraid, shame as it was a nice ride and decent scoff.

  7. I think you'll find that Loomies is still going, albeit under new ownership!

  14. that's where the branch meets (a meeting this Thursday evening!), it would depend on numbers if the Plough would be used for the meet on Sunday .....

  15. In that case, you might consider meeting at the Chalet Café on Sunday morning, perhaps.
