Some events for Cyclemotors, Autocycles and Mopeds

Full Calendar

Suitable for cyclemotors

Some organisers make special arrangements to make runs suitable for cyclemotors and similarly slow-moving machines. These runs are marked with a green logo. A ride doesn't have to be especially short or hill-free to qualify. Arrangements to prevent cyclemotorists being left behind on their own and getting to the lunch stop half an hour behind all the mopeds are what is needed.

A Village Hall Event

Events with this symbol have a village or community hall as their starting point. You can be sure that there will be toilets and a cup of coffee available when you arrive ... and usually there will be a jumble too. Read more...

100-miles: suitable for cyclemotors?

The VMCC 100-mile run was first run in 1985 and, in those days, nearly everyone did it on a cyclemotor. The idea was that the run should be challenging; to experience that properly, you ought to ride a cyclemotor. A quick three circuits on a moped before lunchtime isn't really what the event is about.

VMCC Cyclemotor Section 100-mile run from Quainton Memorial Hall, Station Road, Quainton, HP22 4BW. Map
From 8:00am onwards. The route is 33.3 miles, complete three circuits if you fancy the challenge of the 100 miles.

EACC Kneel’s Remembrance Wheels and the EACC AGM at Great Blakenham village hall. Map
The last EACC mopedjumble of the season combined with a tour of the quiet Suffolk lanes.
Kneel’s Wheels is the biggest of the EACC village hall based runs; the village hall in question is at Great Blakenham. This will be the twelfth running of this classic event. Full reception facilities and free refreshments are available on arrival. The mopedjumble is typically supported by all, from the larger stands to the various smaller pitches of general members. The jumble opens 9:30am, the run sets off after the two minures silence at 11:00am. The lunch stop is at Claydon Crown. After lunch, the run returns to Great Blakenham where the jumble continues. The EACC AGM will be at 2:15pm—although the AGM is, of course, ‘members only’, the EACC welcomes non-members throughout the rest of the event.
Directions to the start: Great Blakenham is on the B1113. Leave the A14 at its junction (No 52) with the B1113 and follow the signs to ‘Gt Blakenham’. In Great Blakenham, turn right at the ‘Village Hall’ sign into Mill Lane, opposite the Chequers pub. The village hall is along this road on the right.
Everyone welcome—Free day membership if you’re not an EACC member. Please contact the organiser for more information or to reserve a jumble space (telephone Neil Morley on 01473 743587).
