Hi All
Just in case you missed the post regarding our meeting tomorrow evening at Bilton Cricket Club, here is a reminder.
Tom Killen from i2i is paying us a visit to talk about what his Academy can do for your bike control preconceptions.
A natter with club mates, an introduction from John, unmissable presentation from Tom and followed by BCC’s excellent buffet. What’s not to like!
For a taster of i2i go to: https://www.flapjackfilms.co.uk/video-portfolio-work/i2i-motorcycle-academy/
For our Northern Dales & Rivers Ride.
Our planned lunch stop at Kearton House is unfortunately closed on Sunday. So from Thwaite, we’ll head over Buttertubs to Hawes and The Wensleydale Creamery DL8 3RN for lunch.
After lunch we’ll ride down Wensleydale to Aysgarth to return to our route.
The weather forecast is looking fair, if not warm, with a low chance of rain.
See you in the morning.
Best regards
Andrew
I know this is short notice but I have a pair of weekend tickets for this weekends BSB final round At Brands Hatch Including start straight grandstand tickets for both days. I’ve had issues with my hip and it was operated on this week so not well enough to go. They are electronic printable so easy to send. I’m happy to take a voluntary donation as they would only go to waste. Email me at pjd0568@gmail.com. First come first served.

October’s Sunday’s ride was traditionally the last of our Sunday riding season (although now we ride through the winter months as last year). One not to be missed, we meet as usual at 0900am for a 09.30am start at Asda Lorry Park, Dragon Road, Harrogate.
Heading over the River Nidd, past Ripley and onto Brimham Rocks, crossing the River Skell at Dallow Moor, and the Laver at Laverton. Into Masham via River Burn, onto Wensleydale, staying north of the River Ure to Leyburn and onto the Manor Farm Cafe, Bellerby DL8 5QH, popular bikers meeting point, where we can take tea and whatever takes your fancy.
We now take the high road via Marske to Fremington in Swaledale, then through Arkengarthdale past Tan Hill and onto River Belah, Kaber and Kirkby Lonsdale (Fuel Stop). Crossing the River Eden, to Nateby, then Birkdale and into Thwaite in Swaledale stopping for lunch at the excellent Kearton Country House Hotel DL11 6DR.
After a great lunch we head east to Muker, then over the tops to Askrigg and onto Aysgarth where we cross the River Ure. Heading south through Bishopdale, and Wharfedale to Threshfield where we turn for Stump Cross Caverns, where our ride will finish.
Andrew Pratt will lead this 122 mile ride, with Bob Hill at our tail end.
This October our Monday meeting has a later date as Bilton Cricket Club is unavailable on the usual evening. So please note in your diary Monday 21st (3rd Monday). You can view the revised Event Calendar on the HAB website. http://www.harrogateadvancedbikes.co.uk/event-calendar/
Arranged by John Blanchfield, Tom Killeen from i2i Motorcycle Academy has kindly agreed to present the amazing training his team can offer to dispel myths around how your motorcycle stays upright. I’ve been on “Machine Control One” and I can confirm, it is amazing. Have a look at the links below.

Hi All
For those who like this sort of information, David has prepared a GPX route file for satnav if anyone fancies it. Normally if I would post it to the website, but it won’t play ball. So send me an email if you want the file and I will send it to you.
All the best
