On the Road Again!

What kind of plum walks around the parking at the rendezvous looking for Rockets and forgets his own. Me? At least my brother took one of his BMW and got Pepé in too I was up early for a weekend. Alarm set for 0735 and on the road at 0830. The plan to stop for fuel and meet my brother. Traffic was a little heavier than expected and I arrived at the Esso at Cobham on the A2 about 0920. Filled up and then had a coffee and pain chocolat. Whilst waiting for Neill I had a chat with fellow Meldrew Ian who was in his truck and saw me pass him. From Cobham it was a boring hour up the M25 and then M11 to the RDV at Cambridge Services. A chat and then a wander around. It was very hot again. By the time I got there my legs and personals were a little hot too. At least I had my bandana... I just need to grow a longer fuller beard to be a real biker. There were around 300 bikes and as it worked out we were in the second row of the last column to leave. I had a look for other Rockets and some decent...

UK Registration opened a little later than usual but it's up an running. This year I will be accompanied by my brother Neill. I have created it as an event for The Meldrews and maybe someone will turn up. At least not Johnny No Mates!!! http://www.alliedride.org/index.php/uk-home/uk-registration posted from Bloggeroid

Any day now registration for the 2018 Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride will be opening. Hopefully the weather will be as good as it has been in past years with sun and staying clear for the fly past over the cemetery. I've been to six previously since 2010.  This year is the 10th overall!   I missed 2015 as I had had a heart attack and was off the bike and 2016 as it clashed with the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme and we were in France. So with this year 7 out of 10 ain't too bad! And with a bit of luck I won't be Johnny No-Mates this year! http://www.alliedride.org/index.php/uk-home

The run this year is on July 7th. Will probably ride up there again this year and join in the run again. Have put it on the Meldrews' FB page and maybe some of them will come this time. http://www.alliedride.org/index.php/uk-home/uk-ride https://www.abmc.gov/cemeteries-memorials/europe/cambridge-american-cemetery
