Those of you at OS today know it was a little different from usual. We were trying out a potential new venue to call home.

If you did come along, what did you think?

Please let us know what you think, we'd appreciate as much feedback as possible!

12 WVAM headed west on Chris's A+ ride at the weekend.

These rides are great fun and a good way to improve finer aspects of your riding such as group positioning and junction marking.

Check the club calendar for future events.

A lot goes on behind the scenes to make our club what it is.

Next Wednesday, 21st, is our AGM. A chance to come and meet all those involved as well as finding out what's been happening and what will be happening for the year to come.

Come and join us.

Teasing a new bike and new WVAM cling stickers in the Picos! 😃

Who do we know who'd be likely to buy a new GSA and test it out on a Euro tour? 🤔

Fish and chips by the seaside! Some of our members took a trip to Poole bike night this week, taking full advantage of the lighter evenings.

With so many to choose from, what's your favorite bike night?

We've a busy weekend ahead with something for everyone and there is still time to get involved - if you're quick!

Slow control workshops on Saturday and on Sunday we'll have OR's, various social rides and an introduction for would-be observers.

Ooooh, wow! Sums it up nicely I think! The brand new BMW R1300RS. Thoughts?

What glorious weather for messing about on bikes! 🌞 The weekend saw our first Machine Handling Skills Day of the year at Dunsfold Aerodrome.

These days fill up fast and are great fun.

The next is May 10th, see the club calendar for details.

What a weekend, Goldilocks biking weather? Even Chris's gravel lined dirt tracks couldn't remove the smiles! I'm sure the road actually disappeared at one point! 😅

And..... No punctures! 🤣

The Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester is such a great location for our training weekends.

Fantastic roads on the way up and some amazing food on arrival!

Thanks to everyone who makes these weekends possible. 👏👏👏

There are arguably too few female riders especially in advanced clubs, so it's great to see some of our ladies taking advantage of and clearly enjoying our recent and first ever Associate Training Weekend.

Without these valued individuals (plus many others who weren't available on the day) our calendar would be far less busy!

Thank you to everyone who gives up their time to plan and deliver social rides for the club. 🙏🙏🙏

It's important we ride regularly, especially through winter, to keep our skills sharp. Today a group of observers went out for some group practice ready for our associate only rides starting next month.

Congratulations to Stuart on his recent test pass. Despite February's OR's having to be cancelled due to road conditions we still had a good number of members who weren't prepared to miss their coffee and bacon buttys! Well done WVAM and well done Stuart! 💪👏👏👏

We all have one (or more!), the bike(s) we wish we hadn't sold. Here's one of mine. My amazing 1989 FZR250R. 😭

Anyone else?
