On the Road Again!

I loaded up the bike last night with the dog food we had bought earlier in the day at Tesco.  The large back of Wagg (17kgs) went on the back seat and the smaller bags in the System panniers, plus two boxes of cat food that our Hilly has decided she will no longer tolerate in her food bowl that went in the top box.       I was on the road by 1030 and arrived in very good time at the meeting place at Maidstone Service on the M20/A20 junction. One other bike and so I parked nearby to create a space big enough for a lot....   Whilst having a coffee (skinny latte) in Costa I saw another bike arrive. It was club mate Neil Dalton on his XJR1300. He also had a big bag of Wagg on the back seat.  Gradually bikes started riding including regulars from the Kent Riders Club, Bruno from the R1150GS FB Group and Jim Sanderson, a fireman in Kent who started and runs the Fire Bike Service - http://www.kent.fire-uk.org/your_safety/road_safety/fire_b...

The pet food run was organised back in October 2011 before the dates for MotoGP were confirmed. So of course as well as clashing with Father's Day the GP in GB was going to be a problem. Thanks to Kent Riders and Kent & Sussex Bikers we had 17 bikes set off from Maidstone Services and Claire joined us at Northiam in her car as she is unable to ride at the moment. Thanks to Tony Jones for the photo of us assembled by the Blue Cross signs.

An update already. The destination is now confirmed as the Blue Cross Animal Rescue Centre   in Northiam, Kent. The date is still the 17th June 2012 . Now that we have a date and destination we have to look for a decent ride out for the riders we intend to invite and therefore a meeting place to accommodate the hundreds that will turn up.
