The 2018 Alex Moulton Memorial Weekend on Saturday 7th April at The Moulton Bicycle Company, Bradford–on-Avon was well attended despite a damp start. The rain cleared up during the morning and the sun decided to put in  a weak appearance a few times.

We had over 50 attending, with 2 new members joining the Club at the gate entry, 1 membership renewal and 2 takers for the Weekend Membership Pass.  Hopefully, the ambience of the event and the spirit of fellowship between Moultoneers will persuade the weekend members to join the Club for the full year.

Moulton Bicycle Company were selling a very wide range of parts from their Showroom. It was a weather-proof treasure trove!  There were also a few sellers who had Moultonalia for sale. A few more sellers would have been welcome. Maybe the poor weather forecast put them off.

Club Secretary Mark Taylor and his son, Tom, did a sterling job providing teas, coffees and delightful cakes decorated with the Club logo.

The escorted factory tour in the late morning was very popular. It was overbooked! Dan Farrell generously obliged with a second tour at noon.

There were 3 on the Saturday afternoon ride to the Cross Guns at Avoncliffe and 18 on the Sunday ride to Edington.

All in all, considering the threat of rain, it was a good BoA Weekend !

Please put these dates in your diary, paper &/or digital.

BoA September Weekend confirmed - Friday 7th September to Sunday 9th September.
The event will be located in The Hall grounds, Bradford on Avon.
More details nearer the event.

The ride started in the sunshine at Chichester Railway Station, where it was nice to welcome two new members.

There were 10 of us at the start on a variety of Moultons ranging from early F Frames to Space frame Moultons.

Our route followed mainly cycle paths and quiet back roads to Chichester Marina for a coffee stop, where we were joined by two more riders. Another quiet route to West Wittering for a very nice lunch at The Boulevard Cafe to be joined by yet another Moultoneer making 13 riders in all.

After lunch, again along quiet roads, it was back to Chichester via Bracklesham, Almodington and Hunston where we joined the towpath along the Chichester Canal to the cafe at the Canal Basin where the ride ended.

A special thanks to all riders especially those who travelled from as far afield as Winchester and London. Thanks to all for a great days cycling, we covered about 20 miles in total.
