The second attempt to dodge the weather and lead a successful ride to the OK diner in Leominster. Leaving Jacks Cafe at 9.30 we will do a bit of a relaxed route to arrive at the diner for about 12.00 for a bit of brunch. Again I will need food orders from those going. You don’t have to eat but because they get busy on Sunday, those not dining will have to look longingly through the windows at thems that are. So if you do want to go AND eat, let me know who you are and what you want to eat. You can find the generic diner menu at okdiners.com. Again, this will be dependant on the weather and me being able to remember the way!

Steph & Mick's Wedding Escort Ride

Departing from Jack’s Hill Cafe at 1pm on Thursday 5th August. Martin and Mikey leading

My daughter Steph gets married on Thursday 5th August and it would be great if the Chapter could provide her wedding car an escort from her house to the wedding venue.

After having to cancel her wedding in Malta – due to have taken place last month – the new venue is Ashton Lodge – just north of Rugby.

The ride will escort two classic cars for the wedding party.

Martin and Mikey will lead the ride and escort.

Leaving Jacks Hill Café at 1.00pm, the ride to Steph’s house near Nuneaton will be a 50-55 min run up the A5. Plenty of space to park up outside the house and once the wedding cars arrive, the escort ride to Ashton Lodge will take about 25 mins. It’s an easy route and initially through Nuneaton, it opens up to the countryside to a lovely location near Monks Kirby,

On arrival you are invited to stay while the ceremony takes place (approx 30 mins). During this time the bar will be available to you for tea, coffee or something stronger. The drinks are on me.

Hopefully the day will be dry and warm. The plan will be to arrange the bikes on the lawn in front of the patio – where Steph and Mick will walk out after the ceremony. They would really like to in include you and the bikes in the photograph session that will follow the ceremony.

Once the photos are done Martin and Mikey will lead the ride back to the A5 for the return home.

An event page will be opened up on the chapter face book page so please indicate your availability so we have an idea of numbers.

Steph’s house :- post code CV10 0FH no 38 Duckpond Lane

Ashton Lodge : post code CV23 0PJ

Hi peeps,

Message from SimonRide to Wells Next the Sea 24/07/21The weather forecast for this Saturday is for rain with the risk of thunderstorms and possible torrential rain. As a result, this ride will not go ahead this weekend.The ride has been rescheduled for next Saturday 31st July.I hope you can join me on the revised dateSimon

I will be leading a ride to Wells-Next-The-Sea on Saturday 24th July 2021. The ride will be leaving Jacks Hill Café at 09:30 so please be ready with a full tank and empty bladder as this is quite a long ride.

The route will take us along the A45, A605, A1139 then A47 to Kings Lynn, from there we will take the A149 to Hunstanton, then we will ride the scenic coast road to Wells-Next-The-Sea. This is approximately a 120-mile ride with a stop near Wisbech PE14 7BF for fuel and quick comfort break.

Parking has been arranged at the Wells Town Car Park on A1105, and I have been told by the car park supervisor, there will be no charge. Once there, you are free to wander around the town or along the beach, enjoy the scenery and have a spot of lunch.

The route back will be a reverse of the journey there, again with a fuel stop and short comfort break at Wisbech. The ride will then finish at BP service station NN8 2DU.

As stated, this is a long day so we will be riding up to and at the speed limits for the roads we are on so we can make good progress to maximise the time we have.This ride is weather dependant as I’m sure you won’t want to wander along a beach in the rain.
