The 'Hoggin' The Bridge' ride is being held Sunday 19th October and as usual, we are taking part! This is an annual charity fund raising event where thousands of bikers (and a few scooterists!) ride from Severn View Services, across the old Severn Bridge, along the M48 turning off at Magor and riding back through Caldicot and ending up in Chepstow, where we can drop some dosh into the collection bucket!
This event is always very well supported by the public, a really great ride and always good fun! The bikers always appreciate the scooters and we always get a 'thumbs up' as they blast past us on the motorway!!
The ride starts at 11:00am, but usually takes quite a long time for all the bikes to filter out of the services. We normally join in at the roundabout under the motorway just before the old Severn Bridge.
So here is the plan-
MEET AT THE OLD TEA HUT SPOT
ON THE DOWNS AT 10:30AM
SUNDAY 19TH OCTOBER
DEPARTING AT 11:00AM
TO JOIN THE HOGGIN' THE BRIDGE RIDE
AT THE OLD SEVERN BRIDGE
AT AROUND 11:20AM.
The last few years has seen really good weather for this event, with lots of sunshine! Will we be so lucky again this year - maybe, maybe not!

This will be our last club ride during British summertime, as the clocks go back the following weekend, then it's officially winter, dark and cold!
Hope to see you on Sunday.
