The first one I attended was this weekend in the New Forest near Lymington. The ride-out was one of the best I've ever done, over 8 hours around the New Forest and Dorset.
Here are a few photos.

I didn't take the direct route via the A27/M27 as one of my favourite Southern roads promised a less direct but more interesting route. Oh and one of my favourite fry-up cafes was half way.


The Friday weather forecast promised some rain, but a mild tea-time sprinkling aside, this is as bad as it got.
Plenty of bikes on site for the Saturday morning start of the ride-out.












Usain Bolt was too pricey to book for the ride's official start.

On the Sandbanks Ferry.

A bemused (and amused) young lass on a CBF125 gets the lowdown on Cub-etiquette in a Yorkshire accent.


Sadly, because of an insect bite that turned bad I had to head home On Saturday night, but I'm sure that the merriment continued.
