As mentioned in the Monday meeting, the December Sunday Ride-Out was due to be on the 21st and was then brought forward to this Sunday the 14th. The weather forecast for tomorrow did improve but has now gone the other way-high winds for our planned lunch destination and rain everywhere with localised flooding. There’s no point any of us being a martyr and if we get a break in the poor weather before Christmas we can organise a ride-out at short notice or indeed look forward to the New Year.

The 2026 Ride-Out and Meeting Calendar’s will go live this weekend. Please have a look on the HAB website. Seasoned ride leaders may wish to get their choices in before the calendars start to fill up, as we already have a few pencilled in. You can contact me on 07847786608 by text/whatsapp. If you are a full HAB and IAM member and new to Ride Leading or Tail End Charlie duties, and are keen to get involved please get in touch for advice and guidance.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Barry Ring

Ride Out Coordinator.
