The Radar Run—ideal for cyclemotors
The Radar Run has an optional, shortened route for cyclemotors, 11 miles shorter than the main route. The cyclemotor route runs along the same roads as the main route but omits two ‘dead end’ spurs. This means that the back-up vehicle can cover both routes.

Mopedjumble starts at Bromeswell Village Hall Map
There’s a superb circuit around Bawdsey peninsula with
lots of historical interest details on the course notes. All

26th April—Ride it Day
Ride it Day
Every year the FBHVC
has its Drive it/Ride it Day on the Sunday nearest to St George’s
Day.
The aim of Drive it Day is to increase public awareness of Vintage and
Classic vehicles by having as many as possible on the road for one
day. There are many events—see the Federation Website—www.fbhvc.co.uk—for more details. Several museums arrange
special parking areas and reduced admission fees for anyone arriving in or
on an old vehicle. Or you can just take your old vehicle along to
whatever you’d be doing anyway: going to work, going shopping,
anything.
Drive it Day raises over £40,000 each year for the Childline service through rally plate sales and clubs holding their own events. This staggering amount shows what can be achieved through the generous support of the Classic and Historical Vehicle Community. This year there are special ‘Ride it Day’ rally plaques for motor cycles—buying one from the Drive it Day website will help raise money for Childline.

100-miles: suitable for cyclemotors?
The VMCC 100-mile Cyclemotor Run was first run in 1985 and, in those days, nearly everyone did it on a cyclemotor. The idea was that the run should be challenging; to experience that properly, you ought to ride a cyclemotor. A quick three circuits on a moped before lunchtime isn’t really what the event is about.
VMCC Cyclemotor Section 100-mile run from Quainton
Memorial Hall, Station Road, Quainton, HP22 4BW. Map
From 9:00am onwards. The route is 33⅓ miles,
complete three circuits if you fancy the challenge of the 100 miles.
Food & refreshments provided throughout the day.
