SUMMARY:Andover Norton Open Day
DESCRIPTION:All you Norton enthusiasts may be interested in attending an open day at Andover Norton. Last year the event was well attended with more Commando’s than you could shake an oily rag at! There will also be more unusual Norton’s on display and also some well known people with Norton connections will be in attendance\, last year Dave ‘Crasher’ Croxford was there. \nThere will also be plenty of greasy food on offer. Proceeds from the day go to charity. \nEven as a non Norton person I did thoroughly enjoy last years event. \nIf you wish to attend Chris Biddiscombe will be starting from the Hill Brush Visitor Centre at Mere at about 8.30. Give Chris a call on 07963672765 if you wish to go with him.

SUMMARY:Chairman's Challenge Run
DESCRIPTION:The infamous Chairman’s Challenge is back! Join him at Thorngrove Garden centre from 10.30am and embark on a journey of discovery through beautiful Dorset. Part of the challenge is understanding the chairman’s approach to route planning and there’s a high probability of the odd question or two en route. A nice coffee stop forms part of the experience and there’s an extremely high probability that ice cream will be involved at the finish! Suitable for all types of machine\, ridden over mostly a mixture of lanes and B roads. \nThe Section is asking for a contribution of £3 towards run expenses.

SUMMARY:The Dorset Dakar
DESCRIPTION:This is a pre-booked event only and is limited to 50 riders.  To take part\, you must register below; there is no entry on the day without a booking!\nPLEASE NOTE : We have had to change the start location.  It is no longer at Compton Abbas Airfield but a few miles away at Win Green Visitors Car Park. Please see the map below.  Ways to find it: \n\n\n\nOS Landranger Map 184  ST 924 204\nlatitude and longitude : 50.98368779186676\, -2.110224788280277\nGoogle Maps : XVMQ+CQ\, Salisbury SP7 0ES\nwhat3words : ///steam.bucks.loafing\n\n\n\n \nThe Dorset section are pleased to announce the second staging of their annual off-road event- \nThe Dorset Dakar! \nDorset Dakar in 2022\nDesigned to be a gentle-ish introduction to riding trails and very much with the novice rider in mind\, you are invited to join us for 10.00am (with an 10:30am departure) on Saturday 8th July at Win Green Visitors Car Park. Riders will be sent off in buddy pairs with the route comprising a mixture of on and off-road sections (several novice volunteers\, riding a variety of bikes\, have already tested this run\, fear not!)\, with part-way refreshments provided by Dorset section and finishing at the Fox and Goose pub in Coombe Bissett for a well-earned drink! \nThe outward route is approximately 28 miles\, with a number of bail-out points should you decide it’s all too much and would rather head straight to the pub finish. The return route can be the reverse or\, if you prefer\, there is a picturesque road route from Coombe Bissett back to the start via the Ebble valley taking in Broad Chalke\, West End\, Alvediston and Berwick St John. \nFinally\, this event is subject to good weather.  If it rained all the previous week\, some of the tracks would be very muddy.  So please do check this website before turning up at the airfield of the 8th. \nThe Section is asking for a contribution of £5 towards run expenses. \nNow\, read the FAQs below\, followed by the Dos and Don’ts and then reserve your place with the blue “Book Your Place!” button. \nFAQs: \nDo I need to be an experienced off-roader to participate?  Absolutely not! We encourage riders of all abilities to have a go and it is aimed at novices. A lot of the off-road section is over well-surfaced trails and any really tricky sections can usually be crossed walking alongside your bike\, if necessary. \nDo I need a pukka off-road bike? We feel that any lighter weight road bike with reasonable ground clearance should be able to participate with care. Of course\, trail-type machines remain the ideal choice. Feel free to ask the run organisers for their advice. \nIs it a race?  Absolutely NOT! The idea is for members to enjoy an off-road riding experience\, taking as much time as necessary to complete the course\, or as much of it as they feel comfortable with. \nHow many routes are there? There is only one route for 90% of the run. However\, there are options between the Easy and Very Easy indicated by direction markers and the final part of the run (3 miles) splits into three final sections depending on your skill level: Beginner (tarmac)\, Intermediate (rough ground) or Expert (ford and narrow\, overgrown hill climb). \nWill there be a route sheet? At the start\, the OS Map 184 (Landranger Series) will be available for inspection. In addition\, the route will be marked on the morning of the run with triangle direction markers. SatNav GPX files will also be available. \nDo I need a VMCC eligible bike to take part?  It is preferred but not essential. \nCan family and friends watch?  Of course\, the route is clearly marked and everyone is welcome to join in at the pub. \nDoes my bike need to be Taxed and Insured?  Yes. All the byways and roads are classed as public roads\, so your bike needs to be legal. \nCan I park my trailer / van / motorhome at the start?  We hope so\, but we do not yet have permission to do this.  Please check back here nearer the time. \nDos and Don’ts \n\nDo invest in the OS 184 Map (LandRanger Series)\nDo be courteous to other trail users\nDo give way to all other trail users\nDo wear appropriate clothing\nDo stop and take lots of photographs\nDo enjoy our en-route hospitality\nDo fill up with petrol beforehand (nearest petrol is in Barford St Martin SP3 4AD)\nDo provide your own recovery as the Section is unable to help. Breakdown recovery vehicles will not be able to access certain parts of the route. It is suggested you ride in buddy pairs.\nDon’t speed along- it’s not a race\nDon’t have an excessively loud exhaust- it irritates other trail users\n\n

SUMMARY:White Horse Run
DESCRIPTION:Note: this run is on a Saturday and starts at 9:00am (not 10:30am as in the printed Programme Card) \nThe White Horse Run – new and improved! (Now with route maps!) – This spirited ride takes us along some of the most glorious and beautiful motorcycling roads Dorset and Wiltshire have to offer. \nMeeting at the Udder Farm Shop Cafe at 9am\, then heading out towards Salisbury around 9.30am\, we take a quick break at Old Sarum airfield cafe before heading into the depths of Wiltshire to witness the majestic splendour of two of its most ancient white horses set into its chalk hillsides. Said to represent innocence and purity\, be a symbol of good fortune\, or even represent prosperity\, what more positive vibes does your average classic motorcyclist need to speed them on their way? (Twice!) \nAt the mid point\, we break at Pewsey for lunch at one of the many cafes this picturesque town has to offer. After this\, we take in the 2nd horse of the day\, more stunning roads and views before having the opportunity (for those that want to) to ride roads exactly as they were when some of our older machines were first produced. We then head back to the Udder Farm Shop to finish the day. About an 80+ mile ride\, folks are welcome to join for the entire day or peel off when they feel they want to. \nLooking forward to seeing you all! \nGPX Files for Sat Nav users : Part 1  Part 2  Part 3   (updated 14-July-2023) \nThe Section is asking for a contribution of £3 towards run expenses. \n

SUMMARY:Mid-Week Run
DESCRIPTION:(Updated 30th July 2023) \nTo quote Simon \n“The ride will be from the Virginia Ash pub to Mapperton House Café\, a ride of 27 miles\, which should take an hour\, on B roads with the odd country lane. The cafe car park is a mix of gravel and grass so a sidestand puck might come in handy. \nPlease note there will be no paper route map provided . GPX files are provided and if requested on the day the Drop-Off System will be employed.” \nGPX Files : Outward  Return \nNice of Simon to do this Mid-Week Run for a 2nd year as\, last year\, no-one turned up at all 🙁 \n*** Please support our Run Organisers *** \n
