CANCELLED - CAM ride-in and Toy Run
2024-12-08 | Madingley Park & Ride, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0EU
Given the tempestuous weather, and following advice from Cambridgeshire Constabulary (who provide a safety escort for the ride), the organizers of the Cambridge Bikers Christmas Toy Run have reluctantly taken the decision that the ride will NOT take place on Sunday 8th December as had been planned. The CAM ride-in, which was scheduled for 8:30am, is also now CANCELLED
It’s obvious disappointing that this is the second year running that the Grinch has stolen the Christmas Toy Run. However, when this happened last year the event was rescheduled to Easter, making for a colourful and well-attended replacement. We’ll keep you posted on any updates we spot in the New Year

2024-12-15 09:30 - 13:30 (Europe/London) | Shell Fenstanton, Cambridge Road, Fenstanton, Select a State or Province:, PE28 9LS, United Kingdom
Aviation has been a recurring theme in 2024’s busy ride schedule, and it’s one to which ride leader Graham Maile & tail-ender Peter Grant return to for our final ride of the year. Graham has organised a visit to the Watch Office Bar & Kitchen, a Grade II listed building which served as the operations hub for RAF Alconbury during World War II. Note that the Kitchen has requested pre-orders, so please specify your choice from the brunch menu when requesting your place. Graham outlines the route as follows –
We start from a new departure point: the Shell petrol station just outside Fenstanton. Following the briefing we cross Fenstanton before turning right to skirt St Ives and pick up the A1123 to Bluntisham & Earith. We then follow B-roads through Pidley, Warboys & the Riptons to Alconbury Hill. A short ride south on the old Great North Road takes us to Alconbury Weald and breakfast at the Watch Office
With breakfast despatched it’s back to the bikes: we pass under the A1 and through Alconbury to begin a loop west through Old Weston & Kimbolton before turning for the Perrys and the southern shore of Grafham Water before reaching the A1 at Buckden. We finish our ride with a hop north on the A1 to Brampton Hut Services. The ride is a little shorter than usual at 55 miles in total

POSTPONED - Members Evening with Helite
2025-01-16 07:30 - 21:30 | * Postponed *
SORRY – this event has been postponed until April
We kick off our 2025 social calendar on Thursday 16th January with a presentation by Peter Riley from Helite UK, the premier manufacturer of motorcycle airbags. This Members Evening takes place at the customary venue: Over Community Centre, starting at 7:30pm
Helite was founded in 2002 in Dijon, France by Gérard Thévenot, an engineer specialising in fluid mechanics and a passionate fan of light aeronautics. Thévenot wanted to create personal protective equipment for high-risk sports by offering airbags adapted to the needs of motorcyclists, horse riders & cyclists. The high accident rate in these pursuits led to the first patent for personal protection airbags.
We will learn in detail about how the airbag system works, which parts of your body are protected, how long it takes to inflate and what it is like to ride with an airbag. There will also be guidance on choosing the most appropriate model from the range.
We’ve allowed time for a Q&A session – so please come armed with your questions! If you already own a motorcycle airbag, please do consider attending so you can share your experience with your fellow CAM members.
You are welcome to bring guests – please assist with the room booking and seating arrangements by emailing us at events@cambsiam.org.uk if you plan on attending!

Sunday ride: Pearce's Farm Shop & Café

Starting from BP Arrington near Wimpole, Mark Fox & Graham Maile shepherd this ride west through Dunton and into Ashwell, then cross the A505 to Sandon & ride south through Walkern towards Watton-at-Stone. Turning east to Dane End & the wonderfully named Nasty, they emerge on the A10 and Pearce’s Café & Farm Shop
After breakfast it’s across Puckeridge then through Little Hadham to Clavering. Continuing north the ride joins the B1039 to head home via Great Chishill & Therfield and journey’s end at Royston McDonalds
As befits a winter ride the route isn’t too technical, but a reasonable amount of country roads will keep the average speed down but hopefully the smiles up! Route description courtesy of Mark Fox

Keith Tremeer & Steve Rowdon lead & tail this ride, departing from the carpark at Tesco Royston. Keith’s outline of the ride follows:

The route initially takes us through Barley, then heads south through Dassels to Ware, then eastwards through Much Hadham & Hatfield Heath before turning north to Takeley. We pass to the north of Stansted Airport before reaching our breakfast stop.

We’ll be using predominantly country roads – a couple of which are single track with passing places), and there is a high likelihood that they will be somewhat muddy.
