Ride-out procedures

Drop-off system

 

Ride-outs are great for catching up with members, honing riding skills, or just enjoying the ride, scenery and destination. Whatever your bag, the variety of rides means there ’s something in a ride-out for you.

 

All Members and Associates (and pillions!) are welcome. If you’re an Associate and wondering whether a ride is suitable for you, feel free to contact the ride Leader to chat about it.

 

BEWSC is the Birdseye Walls Social Club: the place where most (but not all) ride-outs start. Go to the end of Hammond Way in Gloucester and you’ll find riders gathering in the Social Club car park. Or check out this map.

 

For each ride, we produce reports which are published in the Journal. Extracts are also provided in the diary section here in PDF. We also file pictures from a run in the diary section. Where possible, we record the route in Garmin GPS v2 format, and produce a map of this too.

RIDE TO THE WALL (not a SAM rideout, and prior registration is required)

RTTW is a unique motorcycling event which gives motorcyclists an opportunity to gather together at a place of remembrance, to pay their respects to our serving and fallen service men and women and, in doing so, raise funds solely for the purpose of perpetuating their memory and recognising the sacrifice made.

Clubnight Chris Mullins Tyres has helped arrange a talk from Bridgestone Tyres. This will be a great opportunity to ask all those questions and take invaluable information in on those bits of rubber that attach us to the road. Presentation by the Sales, Development & Technical Manager of the Motorcycle Department, Bridgestone UK Ltd.

HAMBLE 2011 -The Sequel Following popular demand, Hamble has once again been booked. 2 log cabins and 4 caravans have been booked, with a potential for 30 SAM members to enjoy another brilliant weekend. Get the dates in your diary, book time off, arrange babysitters and get the dogs in the kennels. I cannot give you the prices at this stage but I would suggest that they would be somewhere around £50 per person. If you intend to come on this weekend I strongly suggest that you book early as places will be filled VERY QUICKLY. NOW FULLY BOOKED.

We also offer holiday packages to the World Superbike and MotoGP motorcycle racing series. We have Tim to do the Talk, our own Budge living proof that it's a must do.
