Surrey and Hampshire Hills

#1 PostAuthor: Andrew_s » Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:47 pm

As many of you may know it's been a shit two years; my stroke on 30 June 2019 took my licence for a year and although my recovery was going well I was medically retired from the Army. On 30 December 2020 my wife, Bev, sadly lost her brave fight with cancer, she was just 60.

Yesterday Mark Kelleher of MK Classic in Woodley (needaz1100r) delivered my A4 back after sorting the leaky carbs, ultrasonically cleaning them and balancing them all up - it now runs stonkingly and far better than it ever did! Thanks Mark.

So after almost two years pretty much off the saddle, I needed no more motivation today to get my arse on my Z900 and go for nice long a sunny rideout into the Surrey and Hampshire Hills.

Hi Steve,
Yes, Wed eve is good for me - what time?

Have you tried the Departure Lounge at Alton: http://www.thedepartureloungecafe.co.uk/ - a few of us used to go there before Covid etc, it's a good ride from Odiham to Alton on the B3349. I think they are still closed Mon - Wed, but it a good spot and usually a good turnout of bikes and classic cars.

Cheers,
Andrew
