The group is open to all U3A members with an interest in motorbikes. 

We aim to ride twice a month from the begining of March to the end of November.

Rides are on First Tuesday and Third Thursday of each month , members who do not currently own or ride a motorbike are welcome to join and share their expertise.

Members take turns in planning ride routes, which always include plenty of meal and comfort breaks, and often include visits to places of interest.  

We have undertaken a number of longer summer trips with with a few nights stay, both in UK and on the continent.

The purpose of our ride is to enjoy it, not to thrash as fast as possible, this means using less busy roads with regular stops rather than motorways.

We try to go to places that have an intrinsic interest, this can include some interesting challenges; for instance, we have become enthusiastic Zip wire riders. 

This one is the longest Zip Wire in Belgium.
