45th SOUTH WEST COAST RUN. Sunday 11th May

Just a reminder that the South West Coast run is taking place on May 11th at Failand Village Hall on the B3128 from Bristol. 10.30 am for 11.00am start. The VMCC is running the event for members and temporay members on the day. All entries must be over 25 years old.

I will be going with my brother and a few more of us on our
Royal Enfields, and will be following the old bikes on the run.
Should be a good day out if you are into old bikes. [ not the female type ]

A black Royal Enfield ridden by an old bloke come through the village earlier in the week I followed him for a while an oggled his bike from behind but had to overtake as he wouldn't pass 30mph, so had a good oggle as I went by too - real nice bike (shame about the rider!)

45th South West Coast Run. Report.

Hi. We went to the South West Coast Run and had a lovely day.
Loads of old bikes and cars, with even older riders.
We were also blessed with brilliant weather.
A good ride was had by all.
Here is my picture video of the day out.

Re: 45th SOUTH WEST COAST RUN. Sunday 11th May

Hi. There must have been a couple of hundred.
Going along the roads on the ride the people were outside there houses by the roadside and giving us a wave. They must have known we were coming.
A real good day out and brilliant weather.

Brilliant pics and vid Dave. Some lovely old machines there.
Being in the recovery business I'd be interested to know if there were many breakdowns and did you have any support vehicles on hand?
