Photos from the August Run 2024

We always get a good turn out for the August Run, maybe being on a Bank Holiday weekend means people have more time, whatever the reason we had 25 sign on this year. It was good to see a lot of our regulars and also several new riders for this year.

I am extremely grateful to Rod and Carol for organising the event at short notice as I could not do it because of illness. However, I do have another run to organise on the 28 September – you have been warned!

Thanks also to Paul W for additional photos and to Lee and Mandy for the ‘on the move’ pictures.

Rod’s report on the run is below.

The August Run held on the 25^th August started at The Virginia Ash at Henstridge.

25 members assembled at the start in nice, sunny and dry conditions. The Virginia Ash will no longer open for coffee and loo etc., so as an alternative we travelled the short distance to The Cider Barn Cafe at Purse Caundle where all needs were catered for.

Next the route went via Alweston, Holwell, Pulham, Piddletrenthide, Cerne Abbas, Evershot, Halstock, Ryme Intrinseca and to Yetminster and to The Old School Gallery Cafe where lunch was taken.

Onwards via Chetnole, Leigh, Longburton, Sherborne, Charleton Horethorne, Milborne Port and back to Henstridge and the finish. 60 miles completed.

All went well except for one breakdown and he limped home to Wiltshire with a misfire. Roll on to the next Run.
