Easter Sunday Run to Fox's Diner

[identti]

Hi, I'm organising this in advance, as there's a lot of runs on beforehand.

I have a route planned that covers the south, west and north Reading areas, but it's open to discussion with the usual hoon planners (PM me if you want to see the route I've got in mind).

It will probably be an early start on the 12th of April. I think we'll probably keep it to around 20 cars too, as any more than that is a bit of a handful!

Here's the diner's website:

Oh bugger is this the IOM week?

Can't do the week before but could do the following weekend?

[identti]

Yep I'd be up for a mini hoon to try it out, I'll try and come up with a date in March.

Yeah me too, dammit!

Oh well, IOM will have to do

ETA - Early morn run down the 4074 will be quality.

Yeh it does include some of the 4074, we will do a prehoon though if you're up for that, I'm thinking March the 29th. Does this clash with anything?

Which part? The section which runs up over the Chilterns is my fave. 29th is clear in my diary, might well be up for a dry run.

Edit: John, YHM.

That looks like a cracker. Links two of my favourite local roads, interested to see what the 'link' is like.

You've included to the good bit

Ah good stuff, I've only done the less good Reading side of the route. I'm guessing we might have to be careful closer to the diner for there may be some BiB around looking for bikers. They tend to go out later in the day though, as traffic isn't always such a problem for them.

Can't say I've ever seen a copper on the 4074 and its been a regular stomping ground of mine for years, although I normally turn off before the diner. Doubt it'll be an issue.

Ok, that's good to hear. From what I've read, the coppers just hang around the diner/roundabout outside the diner, as bikers tend to leave (and leave their mark) with a flourish.

[identti]

Maybe just make the real run on the 29th?

[identti]

Just went for a blast down the 4074 - good road and could be very, very fast. It does get better over the Chilterns too. It's just annoying that there's quite a lot of traffic on it at 9.45, so I'm planning on hitting that stretch before 9 on the hoon.

[identti]

I'm not sure whether to run this on Easter Sunday or not - who can actually make it on the 12th?

Would you mind a newbie(ish) coming to join you? (can do either 29th or 12th). Should be picking up the new Chim (for the second time, so fingers crossed!) on the 28th so would love to take it for a run.

Dave

Yep all are welcome.

[identti]

Yeh as Pete said, some guys are doing a short run before watching the GP and having breakfast at Max Cafe on the A4 near Theale.

I can't make this so am no longer involved with it.

[identti]

This is separate from the run that's this Sunday.

People who can make a run on Easter Sunday or Easter Monday please reply with what's best for you.

[identti]

Or close it and i'll start a new one that's clearer?

I'd be up for a run on Easter Sunday (working on the Monday )

Earlier the better in my book to miss the 45mph brigade.

Yep it'd be a pre 7am start.

[identti]

There will be one if enough people can make it - it is now totally separate to this Sunday's run.
