You were a week early Patrick, it's Friday the 29th - viewtopic.php?t=101478
I'll probably see you there.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it and have fun here.
Seems like you have a long biking history
Be good to meet up on a ride some time.

Hi Patrick, welcome along sounds like you're another candidate for the grey ones

Yup, we're taking over quietly . . . . . . . and slowly .

Thanks Guys, grey and retreating, hair that is! Did a ride over to Kent 2 weeks ago, Faversham. Gawd, been in the sticks too long what a culture shock with the traffic. Don't mention the M25 parking stream, had to paddle a filter most of the way to the M20. Welcome back to fresh air and green fields of sunny, slow, Devon.

I do that run a few times a year as my Mum lives over in Maidstone.
I hate that run... usually do it mid week and travel home in the evening.. the later the better... M25 is POS.
Only done it once on a bike to get to the chunnel and encountered similar traffic to what you described.

Heya and welcome!!
