6th Mottza's Pie and Mash Ride - Sun 18th August

I'm more concerned about the pie? Being a Pastie muncher I've got used to my meat being encased in a half moon shaped pastry?

Well strictly in the interest of consumer research why don't you bring a few of your "parrsteys" with you and we can evaluate the relative merits of each delicacy!

The survival rate of Pasties would be dangerously low due to the distance and personal dietary requirements of myself on the Saturday as I head for the travelodge in Ipswich? Further pressure would be applied to any remaining stock by Pikey! Especially if he's got access to curry sauce. Any surviving pastie would be at least two days old, spent most of that time under the seat of my scooter enduring fluctuations in temperature! All of the above would put the humble pastie at a comparative disadvantage?

Well I suggest an interim stop on your way flying past London to East Anglia on Sat, that way the Pasties would be fresh and unmolested by Pikey.

Have you ever been to the Ace Cafe??

A friday night is the time to go to the Ace cafe. You wouldn't believe what the kids can do on there little twist and go's.

Great evenings entertainment

Slightly off my intended route? but yes I've been to the ACE Cafe don't recall them doing Pie & Mash though? Always up for an unscheduled stop whilst on a ride out mostly under the heading of: LOST

Out of interest what route are you planning to travel to Ipswich tomorrow, do you need a scheduled stop near London, are you using M25 or passing further North.

I'm just off M25 at St Albans and happy to suggest stopping places for Lunch/Tea, if you are using the M25 the High Beech Tea Hut at Epping Forest might be convenient.

Nice thought NorfolkChris but I'm earning a crust Friday and have already committed to traveling up Saturday morning as I'm booked into the Travelodge in Ipswich sat night

I've got a planned stop at Fleet Services M3 before hitting M25 and Riding clockwise to A12? not set any time limits but I should make Fleet by about 10.30ish barring any hold ups

[Fishtown Phil]

And we are talking about Saturday 17th not tomorrow 3rd?

[poldark]

If you need another stop after Fleet, as you go clockwise on M25, there's a Starbucks only just off the Motorway at Jct 21a (M1 South), it's 45 ish miles from Fleet but also has cheap Shell petrol station on the same site. Just a left at the roundabout off the sliproad and it's at the next roundabout.

Yes got ahead of myself with excitement (sad), we're discussing Sat 17th Aug journey.

You can't beat local knowledge thank you was going to use Fleet as a splash and dash but if the fuel situation is looking good I might as well Hit Starbucks Mmmm Starbucks and Pasties what do you reckon

[poldark]

Well Mottza is an A12 expert, so may have suggestions for another fuel & tea stop further along your route!
