Scarborough VMCC Bike Week

This is the first time that I have attended this event and I can honestly say it was superb even if the weather was a little, well shall we say, humid!!! The organisation was excellent and despite the ravages of the wind and rain all went smoothly.

The week basically consisted of camping in a field on Oliver's Mount (if there is any criticism it must be the campsite facilities - hey guys get some more showers built and smarten up the toilet block). Each day there was an arranged and planned bike ride through the many lanes, hills and coastal routes around the area - each one being about 75 to 100 miles long.

Evening entertainment was provided in the marquee by the VMCC and a good laugh it was as well, and all this for just £9 per day camping and £2 per day for the events. I still cannot work out how thery could provide up with free Fish and Chips on one of the evenings - it is true the best fish and chips probably do come from North Yorkshire!!!

Anyhow here are a few photos in an album - more to come and a better write up - when I am not so busy. Double click on the image below to open up the album.
