It was good to have a nice day for our first ride of the year. Six of us headed off to the Suffolk countryside from the Alma, and we picked up another at Sproughton. With two others joining us at the Victoria, a total of nine was a good turnout. After a nice lunch, we made our way back to Colchester, by a similar route, dropping off one or two at various points along the way. A good start to the year.

As you will have seen from Colins e-mails, our intrepid group of off-roaders have also had a good start to the year, ably led by Steve. All we have to do is keep it all going.

We have had a few ideas for rides and visits this year,so if you have somewhere you think is worth a visit , please bring details to the next club night. One of the suggestions is a combined visit to The Sammy Miller Museum and Beaulieu with an overnight stay. It's a three and a half hours drive down there. If you are interested please let us know. It would be a summer event, outside school holidays! Finally did you spot the deliberate mistake in the last update? Senior moment.See you soon Gordon
