Pit-Stop Training Trip to Ace Cafe, London

Pit-Stop Training organised a run up to Ace Cafe.

14 Bikes arrived at the ferry port of Fishbourne to commence the run up.

All aboard Wightlink Ferry

Going out of Portsmouth onto the M27 then up through the windy bush-lined roads of Boarhunt.

The A32 was next; now this road is awesome. Countryside road with various speed limits travelling through the pretty quaint villages of Hampshire,a good test of the riders skills using concentration, observation and anticipation with various bends, we reached the well-known biker cafe Loomies.

Food and drink served at this Biker Cafe

A quick bite to eat and slurp of tea or coffee and we were off again up the A32 and onto the faster curvy A31. Reaching the A3 the next stop to gather the group was Ripley Bypass.

Some fuel was taken on board, a briefing of what was to come. The A3 to London beckoned.

Briefing at Battersea Heliport, the gateway to London !

Battersea Heliport was the next stop for a briefing of London.

The route Battersea Bridge Road, through Chelsea into Westminster, stopping at County Hall.

Briefing at County Hall, Marriot, Westminster, the heart of London.

No matter how many time I pass Westminster I cease to be struck by the grandeur impact of Big Ben !!

Magnificent sight of Elizabeth Tower and The Great Bell constructed in 1859.

The Tourist hotspots of  Parliament Square, The Mall and Buckingham Palace could not be reached due to the road closures.

The busy road to Edgeware was taken where filtering was a must to make any kind of progress lead by Tina, with everyone else playing catch up.

But eventually we all made it to the mecca that is Ace Cafe  !!
