Ride-Out May 2013 |
At
last the biking weather has arrived. Sadly I did not take my own advice to come
out of hibernation in February, so my steed still needs a bit of fettling
before it is on the road. It was good to see everyone out there enjoying
themselves which has given us an idea for a piece in the future about ride out
venues. If you have any suggestions of places that you visit, send them to routes@Fenlandclassics.co.uk . We also have some of your
favourite ride-out routes we are still checking out, but still need some more
so send them in on the same email address.
As
previously reported, we are supporting the Brooklands Museum Motorcycle
Volunteers with their Ton-Up day in association with The Ace Cafe London on 23
June 2013 to celebrate 75 years of the Ace Cafe. It is looking like a fantastic
event. Your
chance to ride up the Hill and the famous banking have now closed, but there
will be loots to see and do. There will be a mass ride in from the Ace Cafe, motorcycle films,
many very interesting bikes and of course the action on the famous Test Hill Glen Richards will ride the 2012 British Supersport
winning Triumph on Test Hill on 23rd June. His BSB team-mate, Bill Mc Connell
will ride the Museum’s Wicksteed Triumph (See April Update for more about this
unique bike. Also 84 year old Johnny Giles, the highest medal scoring British
ISDT rider of all time, will be reunited with his Cheney Triumph and will ride
it up Test Hill.
We will also be visiting the Bike Shed Event at
Shoreditch Studios EC2A 3HHon 18- 19 May as well as Goodwood Festival of Speed
12-14 July 2013.
