EACC Seventeenth
Coprolite Run & Mopedjumble from Bucklesham Village
Hall Map
to Felixstowe Ferry Boat Inn.
There’s a shorter outward route for cyclemotor
riders.
Full reception facilities and free
refreshments on arrival. A fully marked and classic local
course to Felixstowe Ferry, and twin to the Radar Run.
Riders who completed the Bawdsey Point section of the Radar Run
might be interested in the contrast of the opposite view back
across the Deben estuary. A fabulous riders’ course
on both legs, especially as the route bursts out onto the Golf
Links road for a traditional sprint to the Ferry Boat Inn lunch stop. Drink fine ales to
the panorama of coastal boats on the estuary, stunning views, big
skies, Martello towers, explore the Ferry boatyard…
Why is it called the Coprolite Run? The explanation is in
the course notes. Please contact Mark if you’d like
him to set you a spot in the hall or the car park (e-mail
or telephone Mark Daniels on ). The jumble opens 9:30am, the run sets off at
11:00am, the jumble re-opens at 2:00pm when the run
returns.
All welcome - free Day Membership if
you're not an EACC member.

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.

8th November
EACC Kneel's Wheels
and the EACC
AGM at Coddenham
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
Coddenham. This will be the fourteenth 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 at 11:00am. The route is the same
as in 2016 with the lunch stop at Claydon Crown. After lunch, the run returns to
Coddenham where the jumble continues. The EACC will have its
AGM at
2 o’clock and, although the AGM is, of course, ‘members
only’, the EACC welcomes non-members
throughout the rest of the event.
Directions to the start: Coddenham is on the B1078.
Leave the A14 at its junction with the A140 and the B1078 is the
first turning to the right off the A140. Coddenham is the
first village along the road. After the road snakes around
the church, turn left in the village centre. 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
