Annual Club Holiday
Every year Club members go off for a week to ride together somewhere else. Recent holidays have been in Dalbeattie, Lincolnshire and Anglesey. As the years go by, the quality of accommodation that we book has got better as small complexes of holiday cottages have come available. What stays the same is riding together to explore new countryside and new lanes. Not everyone rides every day and there is always a group walk on at least one day. We go out for a meal together as a group one evening and on a different evening there will be a social gathering for a quiz or singing. On other evenings people gather in smaller groups to cook together or go out to eat or to find a pub.
The 2023 Club Holiday went to Barrend, close to Dalbeatie, Castle Douglas, and Dumfries on the Solway Coast. It is planned that the Club Holiday will return to the same location in 2024, given the good quality and reasonably priced accommodation and good local riding.
