70's Bike Day Ace Cafe London

[SteveD CB500K0]

I've actually been to the Oakdene and didn't like it much...  (apart from chatting to some members of Kent IAM who were out on an observed ride)

The carpark is gravel and the tea is horrible (sorry)

I hear there's a biker pub in Farningham?

Anywhere else around the M25/M26 area?

Probably too far north but I stopped off at High Beech on Saturday after visiting the Ace. What a difference! Very relaxed, no attitudes, pleasant surroundings and sensible prices; two big cups of strong tea (properly made with tea leaves in an urn) and two jam doughnuts for

The pub in Farningham is The Pied Bull

  hi  Pete, after your suggestion at the Ace i've joined up (riding the red CBX750) so i can get involved with SOHC group. K's not running currently but plan on revival probably into next year realistically. It was good to see your K1 out though, think i'd forgotten just how nice they look as standard.

Probably be at Newlands corner this sunday as it's about 15 miles from me so usually run past there if i'm out on the bike (about midday ish) From Box Hill it's about 8 miles along A25 towards Guildford at the top of the "Surrey Alps". You get quite a few bikes there if weather is good.

Box Hill, Newlands Corner, the Oakdene (park in the layby opposite), the Pied Bull, the Gamecock in West Kingsdown (Kent section of VJMC) etc are all bikers meeting places that I go to. The run to Newlands was good on Whit Sunday as there were eight of us in our group who followed me down to Petersfield after going to Henfield for breakfast, then Box Hill, Newlands, Guildford, then along the A272 from Petersfield to Crowborough then up to Farningham for a well earnt pint. About 260 miles all round...good ride.
