We’ll met up at Cambridge Services (A14, Junction 24) from 6:30pm. The 6:45pm briefing is mandatory, and the ride will set off immediately afterwards. Be sure to arrive in good time with your bike fully fueled and ready to go
The hours of darkness add an entirely new dimension to the art of Advanced Motorcycling. By choice or necessity some of us use our machines at these times; others restrict themselves to daylight riding. Whichever camp you’re in, if you’re an experienced full CAM Member this is your chance to either try a night group riding for the first time, or get out on a refresher for the autumn & winter months to come
Extra factors come into play as we move out of summer – fewer hours of daylight, cooler temperatures, wind & rain to contend with. But as an Advanced Rider your first considerations will be the Human Factors, the opening chapter in your Course Logbook! On this rideout you can health-check yourself & your bike ahead of the winter months: how effective are those lights, how is your night vision, is it time for a change of tyres, how warm is your kit? Early autumn is the time to start your winter preparations!
With no breaks planned along the way, I anticipate the ~42-mile taking around an hour to complete (subject of course to traffic and road conditions). Please do consider joining me – Shaun
