December 2019

A good month but a very sad one as we prepare to say Bon Voyage and Good Luck to one of our founder members, Stolk, who is moving to Mexico. We will send her off next month but she will be visiting the UK on a regular basis so remains a member of the club.

Social Event – Pool Evening 6th December

Thanks once again to our newest Patch, Bumble, for organising an evening out. We also had a opportunity to meet a new supporter, Sonya who we hope to see on our upcoming ride outs and get to know her better.

This is a favourite event for the club and Rileys in Victoria a great venue. Don’t worry if you missed it, we will be returning there at some point.

Club Xmas Meal – 14th December

Once again Christmas rolls around and we decided to return to the Lyric in Soho for our event. An excellent meal, enjoyed by all.

Unfortuately, there was torrential rain as we departed the pub, some of us got extremely wet, but it didn’t put a damper on our evening at all.

Freeze Ya Bloomin’ Arse Orf – 29th December

As last year, we arranged a final ride out for 2019, this time to Southwold via Lavenham. Plenty of country roads and faster A roads took us north from North Weald airfield to Lavenham in Suffolk; a historic wool town with loads of character and interesting buildings.

A lovely lunch in a local pub followed by a blat to the coast at Southwold.

We were all pretty frozen by the time we arrived and the sun was beginning to set so we warmed up in Ye Olde Teashoppe, which was extremely nice.

and then back on the bikes for a pretty chilly zoom back to London Town… Sonya, who we were very pleased to see on the ride, forgot to turn her headlight on so immediately earned the biker name Torchie… welcome to the club Torchie and see you in the New Year. So it’s bibi 2019… 2020, bring it on!
