Notts & Derby Spring Run - 18 April 2004

Mark Adams

Our annual Spring Run started from the Carpenters Arms at Dale Abbey.  Despite the day starting off wet, we had a good turn out of 18 machines.  The run was approximately 35 miles, and all machines made it round without any hiccups.  The Leicester Section supported us very well, even Ron Wright made it round, and was even seen to be overtaking me.

Here is our list of riders and pillions:

• Chris Hart - 'Autojumble'
• Neville Hart - Mog with Russell Hart, passenger
• Mark Adams - Puch with Scott Adams pillion
• Rob Hirons - RM8
• Calvin Selvey - Follis
• Philip Robinson - Francis Barnett
• B Smith - Bond Minibike
• Jeff Lacombe - New Hudson
• Roger Simpson - NSU Quickly
• Ron Wright - NSU Quickly
• Mark Astill - Raleigh
• Brian Brimson - New Hudson
• Pete Stratford - Excelsior
• John Hook - Raleigh Special
• Dave Stevenson - Bond Minicar.

Yes, you did see right, Dave Stevenson followed us round in a 3-wheeled Bond Minicar, which made an unusual sight.  We had a good lunch stop at Staunton Harold.  Many thanks to everyone for making the day a good one.
