Essex air ambulance bike run

Post by Solarboy »

Hi Chaps,

Are any of you guys looking to do the Air ambulance bike run from Basildon to Harwich in on the 10th September? I've been reading some of the meets but you all look like your from Yorkshire..
I could do with getting to know some of you guys from the north Essex area to do some ride ours and the AIr Ambulace Bike Run.
Need some friends, lol

Gt Bently meet has a dodgy name and all hetrosexual bikers / R157 ride in the opposite direction

Plus Gt Bentley Cricket Club are playing evening cricket soon on Wednesday nights which will dent parking bikes on the largest village green in the UK as they can hit sixes a long way with the bats around.

Good to know Wicky, was that not your reserved parking space then...
it was a good night last night other than the bad smash on the A130 near weeley roundabout. The air ambulance did us all proud though..

Hopefully everyone will be sorted and healed up soon - I usually head in the other direction if I'm out-&-about on a Wednesday night due to the policing around Bentley (and for good reason)...

Not quite mate. The air ambulance bike run is Sept 10th I think. Wednesday nights is the Great Bentley bike meet. Like Wicky said, it's a bit long in the tooth now and attracts all sorts but a night out none the less.

It's a sad old state of affairs mate but we pays our money and takes our chances. I was out with the guy on Wednesday and he is a really good biker in his 60's with loads of experience and rides very sensibly. Goes to show you can't control the other people on the road. I'm wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery. :|
