Spyder has organised one of his famous early morning breakfast runs, ride the roads while they are quite. Meet 06.15 to leave at 06.30 at the car park in Chipping Ongar High Street (Next to police station and Budworth Hall).
The run heads to Clacton for breakfast, via a nice bike friendly route.
Surrey NOC “Norton Day” will be SUNDAY 8th September 2019 and NOT Saturday 14th September 2019 as in the latest edition of RH (Nr 381), my fault entirely so I apologise. Mike Braid will be bringing along 2 of his superb bikes including (hopefully) his ex Mike Hailwood Daytona BSA Rocket 3 and the ex Loris Capirossi MotoGP Ducati) and Neil Brailsford will also be bringing along 4 of his superb bikes. As well as these bikes there will be other racing and interesting bikes and several of these will be very noisily started up. Ryka’s café are very keen to have us there, Boxhill is a beauty spot and they get very many walkers, cyclists and motorcyclists so subject to the weather it should be very busy. Colin and Eva Seeley will be coming along and I have invited Rex Butcher and Paul Smart but I am waiting to hear back from them.
Best regards, Ken
