of parking for bikes, vans, and trailers. The hall will be

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.

village hall based runs; the village hall in question is at Great
Blakenham. This will be the thirteenth running of this
classic event. Full reception facilities and free

smaller pitches of general members. The jumble opens

Claydon Crown. After lunch, the
run returns to Great Blakenham where the jumble continues.
The EACC

course, ‘members only’, the EACC welcomes non-members
throughout the rest of the event.

B1113. Leave the A14 at its junction (No 52) with the
B1113 and follow the signs to
‘Gt Blakenham’. In Great Blakenham, turn

The Radar Run—ideal for cyclemotors
The Radar Run has an optional, shortened route for cyclemotors, 11 miles shorter than the main route. The cyclemotor route runs along the same roads as the main route but omits two ‘dead end’ spurs. This means that the back-up vehicle can cover both routes.
The EACC 17th Radar Run and Mopedjumble
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
you're not an EACC member, the usual
free pitches for jumble stands—call Paul on to allow him to set your spot in the hall. Jumble
opens from 9:30am, run sets off at 11am.

EACC member.
