    Anybody fancy doing this one?

    Say a 50 mile loop on the bikes, bit of brekky and then into the meet about 11:30am

    Yep I’m up for it.

    Might have to meet you there – depends on what time I kick out my weekend visitors.

    I might well be up for that, will have to check with the Mrs first though and make sure she hasn’t got anything else planned

    Not here unfortunately, which is a bummer because I would love to do this run.

    In the end I rode to Red Marley this year with Thumper and Katana. We also met up with Ses310 and his girlfriend who had driven there.

    The event pits pre 1970 classic dirt bikes against a monster hill in the wilds of Worcestershire. Always a popoular event locally and this year the very resonable £7 gate entry went at least in part to Help for Hereos

    The bikes race in a variety of catorgories and engine sizes in groups of four with the fastest two making it through to the next round. Riders from 16 to 75(!) take place and the roar of brit bikes on open pipes and the crackling of Chezch two-strokes feels the air. All this as the sweet smell of Castrol hangs in the air…brilliant.

    The official website will give the details…

    A few pics from another grand day out:

    My Thundercat, Katana’s Fireblade and Thumper’s Tiger. Sometimes I feel like I am typing in code!

    The event is set in stunning Worcestershire and was blessed with bright sunshine this year

    The bike park threw up some nice bikes too:

    A proper off-road bikes, before BMW spoilt everything with huge bikes saddled down with more kit than an average army

    Rare Laverda twin, pretty bike…

    Ice cool

    Thumper has dreams about Monkey bikes…

    DSCF7155.jpg
    Blimey! A GT750…how rare

    DSCF7154.jpg
    A sublime way to get to physio…

    DSCF7151.jpg
    Loving the wicker top box…more British than a huge wedding costing millions!

    We also had a wonder around the trade stands and pits

    DSCF7058.jpg
    Inventive use of an old beer barrel!

    DSCF7042.jpg
    This electric off road bike was also on show and four of them atacked the hill with some gusto. However the run was performed in silence…this electric power is all very clever, but is dubious environmentally and lacks any kind of drama in competetion

    DSCF7037.jpg
    This Enfield Fury really caught my eye, but £6000 is proper money

    But this what the day was about…

    DSCF7053.jpg
    The mighty hill itself…

    DSCF7048.jpg
    Waiting for their turn for a crack at the hill…

    State of the art riding gear was not exactly the order of the day!

    Out of the gate!

    You have got to keep it wound on

    DSCF7119.jpg
    Not everybody makes it!

    DSCF7128.jpg
    Recovery can be tricky

    DSCF7131.jpg
    We made it to the top on foot…thats Thumper and Katana up there

    DSCF7124.jpg
    This the view from the top

    DSCF7146.jpg
    The races came thick and fast all afternoon

    DSCF7097.jpg
    We even managed to spot Ses310 in the throng

    DSCF7148.jpg
    No day out is complete without a ‘light salad’!

    Cracking day out!

    Cracking shots, especially the rider about to fall off.

    Once again I was on holiday so missed this event, I really fancy it. Any ideas how much it would cost to compete in the hill climb?
