VMCC South Durham
Anniversary Run 12 October
The run started from the Crown Inn at Manfield, who provided tea & coffee which was most welcome. After the usual questions 18 riders set off for the first checkpoint at Masham, which was absolutely full of bikes of all ages in the main square.
The route then carried on through Grewelthorpe, Kirkby Malzeard, Pateley Bridge and on to the Craven Arms at Appletreewick for the lunch stop with great views over Wharfedale.
After lunch we set off back towards Grassington and Kettlewell and over Park Rash into Coverdale and Leyburn and a quick call in to Manor Farm Cafe for more refreshment and back to the Crown for the finish

Baydale Run 17 August
This years Baydale Run, organised by Bobby Robinson started from MSG Cricket club with 16 bikes and very fine weather - sunshine and no rain for a change. A stop at Middleham for coffee and some strange questions to try and answer, The lunch stop was at Hawes with even more strange questions. The run continued after lunch towards Leyburn and the Manor Cafe at Bellerby for yet more refreshments including ice cream and even more questions. Unfortunately some of us, including me did not do well, as can be seen by the results which are here

Not as many bikes this time, probably due to a bad weather forecast, but as usual better than predicted
