Not sure I am brave enough to call you a pansy! We plan to be there for the summer, so I am sure that we will see you guys soon. The ride back to Bristol when you are cold and wet is never a nice experience and I have done it far too many times.

Thank you, although we are looking at a rough start, I hurt my back yesterday and am not sure if I am going to be able to ride my bike down after all!


We will be blasting music though, even if I have to get a lift in the car.

Hey folks,

last night we had just over a thousand bikes at Bike Night, totally filling the beach lawns with both bikes and bikers. We also had a really cool band playing next to us which was fun and this will be happening several times through out the summer. While this is happening on the sea front, Scallys also have bands on and plenty of seating and bike parking outside too.

I am mentioning Scallys because they are supporting Bike Night again this year, the manager is donating a significant portion of the nights takings to the event too, which puts even more cash into the pot for the Royal British Legion.

So as always, there is plenty to do at Bike Night and it is all for a worthy cause. Last week Lyn the organiser was presented with an award by the Mayor of Weston that congratulated her for all of her good work in charity fund raising, Bike Night and bikers are being noticed and that can only be a good thing.

The weather for tonights event is looking dreadful, but it will be going ahead anyway. Don't forget that Scallys also offer a live band and good food on Bike Night too.

Sadly, it is unlikely that I will be able to make it to this evenings event, but Carol and the BRR staff will be there as always.

Hey folks, just a little warning for those of you who travel into Weston for Bike Night, the Police have set up a mobile traffic camera that loiters about by Nuts and Bolts on Winterstoke Road, it seems that they are aiming to catch those of us who are enjoying the speed a little too much. Don't forget that each side of the road has a different speed limit (although why going past the scrap yard is 30MPH and past the school is 40MPH I will never understand!) and they are waiting just by the turn from one side to the other. Can't name my source, but if you come to Bike Night a lot, you will have seen the person who told me wandering about quite a lot!

Don't forget, every Thursday night on the sea front and at Scallys Pub are the places to be because we are raising money for the Royal British Legion, which in my view is a very worthy cause.
