Yorkshire Iron Horse Rally
2023-05-12 00:00 - 2023-05-15 23:59 | Blue Dolphin Holiday Park, Blue Dolphin Holiday Park, Gristhorpe Bay, Filey, North Yorkshire, YO14 9PU, United Kingdom
Every year in mid May, tumultuous sounds of V-twins ring out in glorious Filey in North East Yorkshire. The annual St Leger Iron Horse rally has become the early-season destination for getting in a summer party mood. Held at the Blue Dolphin Holiday Park situated on the coast in a spectacular clifftop location, attendees can take advantage of sumptuous fully fitted self-contained mobile homes or camp on one of the many tent or caravan pitches – most with electric hook up. Food is on offer aplenty in the on-site restaurants, chippie, burger bar, pizza parlour or mini market

Always a themed event where everyone is invited to join in, a full program of rideouts, events and outstanding entertainment is available. Yorkshire has some of the best uncluttered roads on offer in the UK, so what better than to “rumble” over them there Yorkshire Wolds on one of our organised rideouts for glorious fish, chip and peas with bread and butter and a mug of tea? How about joining the crowd of fiercely partisan participants and enthusiastic supporters from competing Chapters to win the title of “Chapter Games – Iron Horse Champions”? Saturday night is “Fancy Dress” party night. It is fantastic to see so many hardened Harley-Davidson riders “squeezed into” and nearly “popping out of” very elaborate party costumes. Letting it “all hang out” is certainly the name of the game here without of course getting arrested. Entertainment is provided each night by top notch bands and supporting DJ

Mike's (Nearly Birthday) Ride
2023-06-07 18:00 - 22:00 | McDonalds Towcester, A43, Towcester, Northamptonshire, NN12 6TQ, United Kingdom
Leaving at 6:00. This is usually the longest day ride but because I’m away then I’ve moved it forward. It’s an evening ride starting at Macdonalds, Towcester and follows a fairly back street route to end in Stratford-upon-Avon where you can indulge yourself with coffee or a meal or just a wander along the river. We will park in the bike park by the sports centre because Stratford council are miserable bast***s and won’t let us park by the river.The length of the stop will be decided when we arrive and the return journey will end Nr Banbury where everyone can make their own way home.

High Peak Passes (Iron Butt) ride
2023-06-10 09:00 - 16:00 | Rugby Truck Stop, A5, Rugby, Warks, CV23 0AE, United Kingdom
Departing from Rugby Truck Stop (Stobbarts A5) at 9am prompt.

The route in total will be 220 miles from Truck Stop to the finish point at LFE Services (M1 southbound).

To get up quickly we will head up the M1 and A50 to Derby & Burton Services where we shall stop for a fuel up, comfort break etc. @ Shell station LOCATION DE65 6DX. (48 miles).

Its then onwards up to Ashbourne and a scenic ride through the Dales and up and over the Cat & Fiddle pass, over to Macclesfield and stop @ Shell station for fuel and quick break. LOCATION SK11 0JX (53 miles)

Then it’s up and over Dumbers, through Buxton and on towards Glossop. We stop for lunch at the George & Dragon (where else !!) in Charlesworth LOCATION SK13 5EZ (31 miles)

Our return route is up and over the Snake Pass, down through Chatsworth Park, through Matlock Bath and we stop for fuel, comfort break @ Sainsbury’s, Ripley LOCATION DE5 3QP. (48 miles).

Finally we pick the M1 south and the ride finishes at LFE services on the M1 near Leicester LOCATION LE3 3GB (38 miles)

I must point out that this ride takes in a number of narrow and very winding roads through The Dales, with some steep declines and ascent and dry stone walls at the edges of the road. You will need to continually observe the conditions of the roads as pot holes and lose gravel could crop up anywhere, and there tends to be a number of cyclists and horses out and about.

We will be covering a lot of miles over demanding roads, so it will be necessary for all riders to keep up with the pace of the ride in front of them at all times. This will ensure the smooth flow and progress of the ride and keep all riders safe by not having to slow the ride. It also helps to reduce the number of 2nd man drops required.

I intend to use the same pub we have stopped at before as it is generally quiet at lunch time and has always worked well before (pre-pandemic). We normally sit out- side.

Finally, this ride require decent weather – therefore if the forecast is poor for the day I will postpone. Keep an eye out on the chapter website, facebook, email.

This will be announced on the Chapter Facebook page so if you do not have access to Facebook, please ask a friend who has access to keep you notified.
