One week after doing the RTTW, the ‘Fab Five’ (Karen, Neil, Yvonne, Andy and myself) hit the road again, to attend the Hoggin the Bridge 9, a charity run over the Severn Bridge. We decided to make it a two day trip by staying in the Bridge View Travelodge. This was very convenient as it [...]

The Sherwood part of this event is the first that I have organised on behalf of the Chapter. I think it is only right that I summarize the beginning of this event and then talk about our participation.
In the National Memorial Arboretum, near Burton-on-Trent, there is an Armed Forces memorial, in the shape of a [...]

Once again Sherwood Chapter had had ten places auctioned for charity, offering a day riding pillion on a Harley Davidson. This took place on Saturday 20th September, leaving the Robin Hood H-D shop at 10.30am.
We headed west through Ilkeston and Ashbourne before turning north into the Derbyshire Peak District. Having lost where I was a [...]

Yvonne and I were up early on Saturday, 13th September, to load the bags onto the bike and be at the grandstand in Lincoln for 9.15am. We had such a good run that we were there far too early, which gave me time to photograph the cathedral in the morning mist.
With Steve leading and me [...]

The weather was quite good as I made my way to meet up with whoever was at the Centurion. As it turned out, we had seven bikes, but as 7 o’clock arrived there were none of the usual road captains present. Having been on the Poachers Scout & Guide ride, however, I had come [...]

This was an unusual ride-out for several reasons. The Chapter had organised two rides over the weekend to the Ace Cafe and their Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary day. One left on the Saturday, stayed overnight at the Travelodge, and returned on Sunday, whilst the second travelled there and back on the Sunday. As it happened, Yvonne, [...]

This was another early rise because the M1 Tibshelf Services northbound was the starting point. Yvonne and I left home at 0730 hrs in order to meet Jackie and Will at the Friendly Farmer. Peter (B) was due to meet us there but then rang to say he was going directly to Tibshelf. Mollie and [...]

This was the day when 16 bikes and 23 members of the Sherwood Chapter rode out to meet about 8,000 youngsters attending the Poacher 2008 Lincolnshire Scout and Guide International Camp. One of our members, Janet, has one foot in each camp (no pun intended – not!) so to speak, and it was her idea [...]

The LBN we had all been waiting for has finally arrived – let loose on Cadwell Park race track! Andy met up with Jeff in Branston then both proceeded to Horncastle where they were met by Will and myself. A short run took the four us to the track where there we a lot of [...]
