As successful as the Horsham Piazza has become, yet another Italian Restaurant is due to be opening in Horsham... ASK Italian is scheduled to be opening: Spring 2012, but will it be in time for Easter... One can only hope the event is better than last year...
I've registered and can't wait, fingers crossed for a repeat of last years weather! Anyone want to meet at Boxhill for the ride to Motori di Marino??
Well done Sue I think that should give folks the heads up on the event!! I'm unfortunatly not gonna be able to attend this one, last year I met alot of guy's at Boxhill for the run down to West Chiltington! It would be great if someone could jump in the bed for that one as Pietro's Garage is a little bit off the beaten track, we don't want folks getting lost eh Have a great time and don't leave it to late to register as they are limited to the amount of riders on the run! Cheers Phil
I shall look forward to meeting you - we had a great time last year. Loads of residents came out and stood on the roadside to cheer and wave at us... quite "royal" !!
I'm not sure yet, I'm hoping that some kind soul from that neck of the woods will lead us down from there! Phil did the honours past year but can't make it this time around.
Hey Nick! don't panic someone will come forward to help! It won't be a problem they are quiet a caring lot down here Last year myself and Bikerbabe zip-tied some Italian Flags to the back of our bikes which possibly helped people who were following or who wanted to meet up!!! I think last year we all met at Boxhill (Rykas Cafe Car Park at the foot of Boxhill) for 9.00am with the intention to leave for West Chiltington by 09.30am. I think we ran about 10 mins over due to a little briefing via the ride down. Enjoy! Ciao
Guys, You need to get down EARLIER this year. Registration is from 9 to 10 am. Horsham DC want us to leave Hop Oast by 11 am I believe - and they are being stricter on timing due to a few issues with parking up last year! Thus we will need to leave Pietro's very much on time - by 10.30 am. Set your alarms!!!
Yes I agree BB it is about a 45min run, Guy's your gonna need to get up and motivated I would say you will need to be at Boxhill for 08.00hrs for a strict departure time of 08.30hrs Pietro normally supplies Light refreshments while registration is undergoing For all event details read the opening event information and click on the blue links for a taster of the day!
Bad Luck Guys, I do think I am going to be one of the town marshals, going to get my six gun and star this weekend. Fred
