Sunday 3rd August - Museum of Power Bike Meet

Ride-outs & Events
1

Leaving High Beech Tea Hut 10am, Sunday 3rd August 2014.

Scenic 45 mile ‘B’ Road meander to Langford and The Museum of Power Bike Meet via The Hanningfields, see poster below. If it turns out to be a bit of a damp squib we could always hit The Burnham Bends with nice creams at Bradwell Marina.

A moderate paced, non-motorway ride employing the corner man system as required. Arrive on a roadworthy bike with a full tank of fuel and an empty bladder. Have with you sufficient funds to cover the costs of fuel and nibbles for the day. No incomplete knobbers, boy racers, girl racers, white line overtakers or late brakers. Vegetarians, nail glue and everyone else welcome.

Ride safely, at your own pace and enjoy the day.

If you’re unfamiliar with the corner man system check out Andy’s most excellent Rideout Guide below

Will we go near any beaches? If so, we’re in.

This is SE Essex

We’ll be a little south of the Essex Coastline Riveria proper mulling around the Rivers Blackwater and Crouch. Which are one step up from the muddy, I thinks its mud, banks of Old Father Thames himself. So I can’t promise sandy beaches but there’ll be salty water a plenty and vegetarian options :wink:
