Sunday ride to Sible Hedingham
2025-08-17 09:30 - 13:30 | BP Cambridge (Newmarket Road), Newmarket Road, Cambridge, CB5 8AA
With clear blue skies in prospect, things are lining up for the perfect rideout! Graham Maile & John Hawkins take lead & tail positions this Sunday 17th August as they head to the Corner Café in Sible Hedingham. Here’s their plan for the outing –
From Cambridge we head towards Balsham, where a turn south takes us up to, and across, the A1307. We pass through Bartlow & Great Sampford, to pick up the twisting B1051 to Thaxted. A left turn leaving Thaxted takes us onto a series of unclassified & B-roads to Finchingfield, where we cross the river to take the B1053 towards Wethersfield and on to Sible Hedingham for our breakfast stop at the Corner Café – TripAdvisor – reviews & menu
After breakfast we head north, passing through Great Yeldham to Clare before branching off to Kedington to pick up the B1061, which takes us across the A143 and through the Thurlows & Burrough Green and then on to Dullingham. Continuing northwest we cross both the A1340 & A1303, finishing in the recreation ground car park on the outskirts of Swaffham Bulbeck (situated just off the B1102 – the road linking Swaffham Bulbeck to Cambridge)
This ride is ~67 miles in total. Please note that the carpark at the rear of the café is fairly small, and it may be necessary for some riders to park on the road out front

CAM Group rides training
2025-09-06 10:00 - 16:00 | Over Community Centre, The Doles, Over, Cambridgeshire, CB24 5NY
There’s no doubt about it: group ride-outs are safer & more enjoyable for everyone when all participants understand & follow the guidelines, the roles of the leader & tailer are clearly defined, and there is a well-structured pre-ride briefing. Since we introduced Group Rides training in 2023, fewer problems have arisen on CAM-organised rides, and your feedback suggests you’re finding ride-outs more accessible, and that they offer an even more enjoyable experience than before.
We’re therefore delighted to announce 2025’s second Group Ride training session, to be held at Over Community Centre on Saturday 6th September starting at 10:00am until 4pm
The morning is classroom based. After lunch, we move onto the practical session on public roads – so attendees should come on their bikes. The day ends with a Q&A back at Over.
This training is free and open to full members and Associate Members.

Group organised Sunday ride
2025-09-07 09:30 - 13:30 | BP Arrington, 15 Ermine Way, Arrington, SG8 0AD
This ride will be led by Mark Fox and tail-ended by Dave Freeman
This route revisits the first ride out this year – it is a loop into Hertfordshire inspired by the wonderfully named village of Nasty.
Given that the temperature that day barely scraped above freezing, the original route had a couple of scenic but more “interesting” sections replaced – but now is the opportunity to reinstate those sections and enjoy the route in its full glory.
We start at the BP gar￼age at Arrington and head via Ashwell and Sandon down to Walkern. We then head across country via Nasty to our breakfast stop at Pearce’s cafe on the A10.
With full stomachs, we’ll head north and skirt around Clavering to join the sinuous B1039 and run into Great Chishill. We then head across country to Therfield and then to the Royston McDonalds to end the route.
Total mileage is a modest 67 miles – but with plenty of back roads to keep the average speed down.
The ride is limited to 12 riders in total – due to space constraints at the breakfast stop.

Ride to St Neots for a proper breakfast CANCELLED
2025-09-21 09:30 - 13:30 | McDonalds, Caxton Gibbet, Ermine Street, Cambridge, CB23 3PE, United Kingdom
This ride is now cancelled
Book your place now on our 21st September Sunday rideout, which sees Keith Bartlett leading and Alan Triggs on tail-end duties. Over to Keith for an outline of the route…
Starting out as we mean to continue, we sidestep the A428 roadworks as we leave McDonalds Caxton Gibbet and head to Yelling & Toseland on our way to the Offords and then cross the A1 at Buckden. Pushing into Bedfordshire, we make a circuit through Great Staughton, Keysoe & Bolnhurst (avoiding further road closures) before swinging east again towards Colmworth & Wyboston. Skirting yet more road closures we eventually arrive for some good old-fashioned greasy spoon fare at the Market Café in St Neots (named for its location in the town centre square)

Following a healthy breakfast we thread through St Neots and head out to Eynesbury and the Gransdens, working our way around one final set of road closures, and then wind our way through various villages to finish at BP Arrington. Totalling around 60 miles (in spite of the various detours), this relatively short ride stays for the most part on lanes and B-roads.

Shaun Digby's autumn night ride
2025-09-25 18:30 - 21:00 | Cambridge Services, A14, Junction 24, Cambridge, CB23 4WU, United Kingdom
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

Meet the Examiners evening

This event is open to all, but is aimed squarely at our 32 Associates … and whether you’re our most recent recruit or at test standard and awaiting your test date, this evening is for you!
We’re very lucky to have two Examiners – Simon Burgin & Martin Munday – linked to CAM. Both former police riders with a wealth of experience to share, they’ll be joining us to discuss what they look for during the test, the common pitfalls and how best to showcase your riding. The evening is also an opportunity for Associates to meet members of the Observer team, several of whom will be on hand. Full Members are of course also very welcome: as always, all attendees can expect to pick up riding insights and a refresher on motorcycle roadcraft!
Since our last Meet the Examiner Evening earlier this year, CAM has seen successes in both the Advanced Rider course and the National Observer Training Program, and we’ll start with short presentations acknowledging those individual achievements before handing over to our guest Examiners, both of whom are keen to address what’s on the minds of CAM’s Associates & Members. When requesting a place, please mention any points which you would like to bring up during the Q&A session towards the end of the evening!

Our next Sunday ride, scheduled for 18th January, will be led by Keith Tremeer, with Phil Duffy bringing up the rear.
Due to the severe adverse weather conditions we have been subjected to over the past week or so, Keith has not yet had the chance to check out his proposed route or the breakfast stop.

Turning right at Bartlow we’ll head to Moor End and Finchingfield before skirting around to the west of Braintree, then turning north towards Halstead and on to our breakfast stop, the Black Horse Cafe, located near Earls Colne.

CAM 30th Birthday Dinner
2026-02-05 19:00 - 22:00 | The Royal Oak, Barrington, 31 West Green, Barrington, Cambridgeshire, CB22 7RZ, United Kingdom
2026 marks the 70th anniversary for IAM RoadSmart, but just as importantly and closer to everyone’s heart it is also CAM’s 30th birthday. To start this milestone year with a splash, the Events Team has organised the CAM 30th birthday dinner on Thursday 5th February at The Royal Oak in Barrington, with attendees gathering from 7.00pm
In a nutshell: we’ve opted for a cosy pub & restaurant which dates from the 14th century and offers a seasonal menu prepared from local fresh food in a beautiful village with the largest green in Europe, just 7 miles from Cambridge
The Royal Oak have tweaked their usual set menu just a little, especially for us – the booking form has been emailed to all Members with all the details.

Sunday ride to Rectory Farm Kitchen
2026-02-08 09:30 - 13:30 | Shell Godmanchester, Legion Way, Godmanchester, PE29 2XH
2nd time lucky… this ride had been scheduled the 1st of February, the originally scheduled leader experienced mechanical problems and the venue chosen by the replacement leader was fully booked. Fingers crossed…. Patrick Ryan & Peter Grant, leading and tailing respectively, will be taking riders to a locally popular Northamptonshire farm kitchen. If the following description seems familiar that’s because this will be Patrick’s second attempt to get a group there (sleet put paid to his first attempt in early January) –
Setting out from Shell Godmanchester we first head west, crossing the A1 at Buckden to travel on the biker-friendly B661, B645 and B660 as we loop north to Polebrook. Turning east we then circle the Ashton Estate and make a short onwards hop on to breakfast (menu here) at Rectory Farm Kitchen, a mile from Warmington village. The outward leg is 33 miles
After breakfast we first head north, passing through Fotheringhay (a village steeped in Tudor and Stewart history) and Wansford. We keep to the west of the A1 as we turn south to Glatton, then cross to its east on our way through the Riptons and to the end of the ride at Huntingdon Retail Park (located just off the A141). The return leg is 32 miles
