starts at Bromeswell Village Hall.
There’s a superb circuit around Bawdsey
peninsula with lots of historical interest details on the course
notes. All welcome—free Day Membership if

Ride it Day
Every year the FBHVC has
its Drive it/Ride it Day on the Sunday nearest to St
George’s Day.
The aim of Drive it Day is to increase public awareness of
Vintage and Classic vehicles by having as many as possible on the
road for one day. There are many events—see the
Federation Website—www.fbhvc.co.uk—for
more details. Several museums have arranged special parking
areas and reduced admission fees for anyone arriving in or on an
old vehicle. Or you can just take your old vehicle along to
whatever you’d be doing anyway: going to work, going
shopping, anything.
28th April—Ride it Day
Note: the 2019 Drive it Day will be a week later than normal to avoid Easter Sunday.

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.
