Re: Full Member Social Ride - Aldeburgh - Sunday 14 July

Thoroughly enjoyable day. A bit of rain on the ride to Sainsburys to join the group, but the day developed into quite a pleasant one. There were 13 of us. There was a tea stop at Sudbury (forgotten the name of the cafe) where we chanced on half a dozen other EAMG members on some other jaunt. Aldebur...

Re: Muckleburgh Military Collection - 30 June 2019

What happened to this thread? Two harmless replies have vanished from it. Anyway, there were only 4 of us on the ride, including Geoff whose job had been rescheduled, so we used the buddy system. It was a beautiful day; hot, but with a breeze and not a scorcher like the day before. Chris chickened o...

Re: Second Full Member Social Ride Sunday 16 June

9 riders on a sunny day with just a couple of short showers. The route out was 109 miles; compare that with the 50 mile distance as the crow flies and you can see that it must have been complicated. Tea break at the Homestead Cabin Cafe at Weeley, just in time to shelter from the worst of the first ...

Eddie's Quiz at June Group Night

I thoroughly enjoyed Eddie's quiz last night at Little Channels although, as a member of the bottom-ranking Newbie team, I obviously felt that the questions were Much Too Difficult! Many thanks to Eddie for his hard work in producing a polished multimedia quiz. Does this mean I am going to try to up...

Re: Full Member Social Ride - Snape - Sunday 2 June

14 bikes. Sunny and very warm. Standard route to near to Sudbury, where a road closure caused a diversion. Richard still took us to the Stour Valley Business Centre for our 'elevenses'. Unusual but pleasant. Potential roundabout starburst closer to Snape averted not so much by my fast action as by t...

Re: Associate and Full Member Social Ride May 26th

It started out as a fine, warm day and we had 17 bikes all hot to trot to Barton Mills. Alan doled out some gifts first. To Doug he gave a piece of 4x4 on a string 'to help him getting on and off the bike', and for me he had a beautiful little pair of wooden training wheels for the KTM. Too small to...

T.U.G. June 2019 issue.

The latest issue of TUG is now available to view online at: https://issuu.com/chrisj1948/docs/tug_web_jun_2019 This is where I plead for more copy. For example, we have just about run out of Observers to publish Observer Profiles for. Why not have some Member Profiles? You just take the questions fr...

Re: Full Member Social Ride - Attleborough - Sunday 5 May

15 bikes on a delightfully sunny, but viciously cold day. We ran into a Cadam outing at Boreham and again at Finchingfield, with some turns double marked, one for each group. This seemed to confuse Cadam more than EAMG. Route out was not unexpected as far as the tea break at the Stradishall Cafe (wh...
