DURHAM HEIFER RIDE OUT 13TH JULY 2008

It’s been a poor old time of it lately for good weather but this particular Sunday the weather was excellent for the Chester Scooter Club summer event at The Durham Heifer.

My daughter, DeeDee wanted to come on the back of me so the trusty P2 had to be my ride for the day. We met up with a few members of the Chosen Few Scooter Crew and Rich from the Northern Aces at the usual meeting place, the ice ring in Deeside at 10:30am.
A quick ride to the Grosvenor Arms (Clubbies) in Chester, home to the Chester Scooter Club and have a talk to some familiar faces before we set of on the ride out for the Durham Heifer near Broxton some 30 minutes ride away. A very nice ride given the sunny weather, a welcome change from the last couple of rides I’ve had.
Chester Club had put on a very good event including some trader stalls, BBQ and the band Moses playing from the back of a wagon trailer.
A very good turn out of scooters from North Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire & Liverpool clubs with Best Lambretta won by “Daytona” and Best Vespa won by “On the Breadline”.

Because of the relaxed atmosphere it was quite easy to use up the whole day in Broxton, we decided to ride back home with a few members of Wrexham Scooter club and for me to attempt to sell a Bajaj I have to Dave from Ruithin. Now I’ve got more room in the garage for another project, I’m thinking a sidecar or a model D….

A good day all round and congratulations goes to Chester Scooter club for a very well organised event.
