EACC Sixteenth
Coprolite Run & Mopedjumble from Bucklesham Village
Hall Map
to Felixstowe Ferry Boat Inn.
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.

the EACC
village hall based runs; the village hall in question is at Great
Blakenham. This will be the thirteenth running of this

smaller pitches of general members. The jumble opens

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