It was some weeks after it was published that I managed to get my hands on a copy. Yes there could be improvement here and there and I do wish it had a thicker cover. I have had considerable feedback and of course as expected it’s all come from the postal club members. It’s been 100% positive. There have been good suggestions on lay out which Ill certainly try to work on. Reproduction of the photos wasn’t brilliant, but that was probably more down to me than the printing company. There was a bit too much script in the last edition so we will get more pictures in amongst the articles as I have come to know what you like. Several members have said that they may change to postal membership. Anyway whatever anybody may think there is one thing for certain it has taken a considerable amount of the stress and hard work from Andrew’s shoulders, which is all to the good. As for me it’s not quite as easy as it was but I do so hope that the club can carry on with this method of producing the MAC. However on a more cautious note there will need to be sensible changes made at some point with financial arrangements. I’ll say no more on this as I’m only the editor. Thanks once again for those who have taken the time to contribute for the MAC. In this edition there are a couple of good articles from Peter Moore on cyclemotors. You will be aware there has been a lot of stuff relating to Cyclemotors in recent editions and yes I will hold my hands up to that. At this time I am really trying to promote interest in this rather rare species and hopefully it will fire you all up with enthusiasm to get your cyclemotors out for the CARD run in July. Soon there will be much more moped features. I was contacted by Frank Brzeski who informed me that he will be dealing with the late Derek Ashworths collection of bikes and large amount of accumulated spare parts for autocycles and cyclemotors. I understand that there are complete autocycles including a 5 concourse Bown that has never turned a wheel and others. Frank will be attempting to catalogue these vast amounts of spares and equipment. It has been decided by Dereks family that instead of getting some dealer to come in and buy it all as a job lot, It would have been Derek’s wish to sell items individually to enthusiasts at reasonable prices. For details regarding this call Frank on 07742 067025 Congratulations to the guys who took part on their Honda C90 Cubs in the Dragon Rally. This is basically a bikers weekend camp that takes place in Wales every year in mid winter in the harshest of conditions. This year the conditions were extraordinary, the participants had to contend with rain, sleet and snow plus an almighty wind got up at about 10.30pm on the Saturday night and did its best to destroy tents and topple bikes. The guys from Kent did over 350 miles during the course of the weekend. Tough men, indeed. The NACC’s Wirral Wobblers are an adventurous group who once a year take their bikes on trips further than most. In recent years they have gone to the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and last year to the Netherlands. During May they will be taking a trip via Spalding and then on to Norfolk for the rest of one week There they hope to enjoy some good flat riding plus boat trips on the Broads. They do hope to meet up with EACC members during the course of the week. This would be a great opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and take part in ride outs during that week. For more information regarding their trip contact Ted Bemand [email protected] and our own Norfolk section leader. I was sad to learn that on the 3rd March the well known bikers Hartside Cafe was pretty much destroyed by fire. It is situated at the top of the Hartside pass just west of Alston in Cumbria. It has become a central staging post for those travelling across the Pennines. I understand it was well alight by the time fire crews got there. Fire appliances from Penrith had to be escorted up Hartside by a snow plough. My electric powered bicycle is now complete and ahead of schedule too. Read all about this quite startling machine which has performed way beyond my expectations, in the “In The Shed” section of the newsletter. As previously stated this project has gained 6 considerable interest. I do hope that I have managed to inspire some of you to take up the electrical challenge. I hope everyone who rides is looking forward to the very busy riding schedule we have lined up on the calendar this season. Alex’s Birthday Run. By Mark Gibb We have celebrated our son’s birthday with a moped run through all of his teenage years, known as the ‘Teenage tantrum’ run it was his request when he turned 13 for us to hold such an event to mark the occasion. First as a pillion, then on his Honda C50 and now on a Yamaha SR125 (via a Honda CB100N), Alex has now turned 19 and so this year we decided on ‘Alex’s birthday run’ instead. Previously under the NACC banner the run was for the first time under the EACC this year, a big thanks to those who have helped with the paperwork and advertising. After a couple of weeks of very wintery weather we were happy to see a dry morning and a very good turnout for the day. After a chat over a cuppa and biscuits in Bruisyard village hall we set off on a 26 mile round trip taking in a lunch stop at the Brundish Crown public house who catered for us despite it being Mothers day (apologies to any Mothers who missed out on a Sunday lunch due to our visit). The only mechanical casualty was a Raleigh with a plug whisker quickly solved at the lunch stop after a few miles on my parents trailer (thanks Mum and Dad).

After Valley (TOSRV West) in 1971, the Braxtons helped about 18 months of plotting our adventure from out. Local bike purchases had already been growing Alaska to Argentina, we had exhausted leads for several years. in England, the U.S., Japan, and Canada for Greg and I hitchhiked to Missoula in early May manufacturers to donate bikes.

List of Members 2 HISTORY OF THE HEREFORD AND DISTRICT WHEELERS CYCLING CLUB Early Cycling in Herefordshire Although there is general agreement that the design of today’s bicycle is little different to some produced in the latter stages of the 19th century, there are many competitors claiming the final definition of what was called the safety machine. John Kemp Starley (1854-1901) was certainly in the forefront of these. By 1885 he had established the Rover – a triangular frame, 36 inch wheel at the front, 30 inch in the rear and a chain drive from a chain wheel to the rear hub. In September 1885 George Smith rode 100 miles in a little over seven hours five minutes on this bike. In the 1890s Starley established the Rover Cycle Company – the ancestor of the Rover Car Company. So our sport goes back a long way. Towards the end of the century cycle racing had become popular. The picture shows three racing machines on Edgar Street Football Ground (with Conningsby Hospital in the background) circa 1895; a Raleigh the mount of Edward Howell, the Raleigh agent for many years in Commercial Road; Harry Matthews with a R.
