Ride to Skeggy on 28th Sept, It says it's 125 friendly, which helps!
3 quid to participate

Are they worth it?
Any etiquette? (Big bikes at the front?)

Me on my monkey is going to have to refuel once we get there, when do I do that... on the way in? the way out? or do I just take 5 minutes out of the day & do it myself? or is this stuff discussed on the day?

heeeeeellllp meeeeeee!

The question of are they worth it, if you want to ride for 70 miles with a group of people who've named themselves after a black American motorcycle club (an MC, not an MCC) then you'll probably enjoy it. If not then you might find it a bit boring.

Where and when you refuel to get home is your business.

You could just give a fiver to whatever charity it is and not get yourself involved with their soul taking circle jerk.

It’s just a name, right?
Riding a bike, boring? Since when? Very Happy
Got that on the refuelling!
If there’s an opportunity to go somewhere on the bike then I’m up for it. If it’s somewhere I haven’t been before (on the bike) it’s a yay from me.
I’m not sure I’ll be participating in any ‘club activities’ but it would be nice to meet some people who also ride. (I have no friends who ride)

Great input tho. Thanks!

I'm not a fan of riding in groups.

In my experience proper motorcycle clubs - ones that call junior members "prospects" and have little waistcoats - are the most boring people in the 2-wheel world Sad
