Rideouts & events
Rideouts take place on the third Sunday of each month in the 'biking season'. The first of the year is generally March, and the last is October.
These are a great opportunity to ride with friends to places you may not have visited in the past or possibly not even been aware of. Even if you have been to the location before, there is a good chance you may go via a route which is new to you which may take you to an, as yet, undiscovered (by you) coffee stop!
We depart at 10:00, so aim to arrive at around 09:30-09:45 to allow time for a quick briefing and re-fueling your bike if required.
The start point for the rideouts is the car park of the Seaton Burn services, just off the Seaton Burn roundabout where the A19 meets the A1068 and the A1 (next to the Holiday Inn Hotel)

We can get in excess of 30 bikes on any given rideout. Therefore, in the interests of safety and consideration to other road users, we may split into smaller groups which ride about 5-10 minutes apart (but still rendezvous at the same coffee/fuel/lunch stops).
All monthly rideouts employ the 'Dropoff' System to ensure we don't have any riders go astray.
As well as rideouts, we also have several other events take place during the year. These can be karting, factory visits, weekend's away and Disco/Dinners etc.
the following is a timetable of forthcoming rideouts and other events...
