4 bikes and a pillion at West Lynn, 3 bikes at Whittington and one bike meeting us at the destination meant the best turn out of the year to date. Splitting in to 3 groups ably led by Ian C and Euan we headed out down the A10 onto the A134 and then B roads through Lakenheath, Mildenhall and on to Bottisham. It was forecast for thunderstorms but we were fortunate and arrived dry. The route only had one closed road but lots of roadworks which appears to be the norm at this time of year.
Bottisham airfield is a small aviation museum close to Cambridge whose main attraction is a static P51 Mustang American fighter. Staffed by volunteers they were very happy to see 19 bikers descend upon their cafe. One of the proprietors appeared with a period jeep and offered free rides to the group. The girls were quick to take up this offer although I’m not so sure they were so keen on their return as it was rather cramped ride. Still the staff were very friendly and made us all very welcome. If you are ever in the area it’s worth a quick visit and the small museum is only a fiver to get in.
With members heading for various locations it was three different groups that departed for home, once again we enjoyed good weather and this definitely topped off what was an enjoyable and convivial day out.
Ride safe and I hope to see some of you at the next ride out.
