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.
Everyone welcome - Free day membership if you're not an
EACC member.

Philippa Wheeler: .
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.
26th April—Ride it Day
26th April
Cyclemotor-friendly
This looks like another route that’s suitable for cyclemotors: there’s a spur up to Happisburgh that can be omitted to shorten the route and, being by the coast and the Broads, it’s flat enough not to need LPA.
The first Norfolk Coast & Broad
Run. This is an EACC ride that goes
from the Village Hall, Repps with Bastwick,
NR29 5EU. Map
This is just South of Potter Heigham on the
A149 Yarmouth to Cromer road and only five miles from the A47 at
Acle. It is a village hall based event where there will be
tea, coffee, biccies ,and toilet facilities before and after the
run. There’s plenty of parking for bikes, vans, and
trailers. The hall will be open from 9:30 (it is hoped that
Danny from Mopedland will be there with a small selection of his
vast stock—or phone him with orders to save postage.
Other stalls or jumble will be welcome. The ride leaves at
11:00am; lunch stop is at the Pleasure Boat
Inn, Hickling. It’s a run of about 29 miles
via the coast road. All welcome. Free day
membership available.

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 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
01473 743587).
