All ready we are starting the month of May and the weather has been so- so; good days and cold days with a little wind thrown in for good m easure. We've had some great rides though. If you missed the one called Bitter Water a 73 mile ride from Shandon through the San Andreas fault and Shell Creek Road, you missed a beautiful ride. We had some headwinds and some good sized water puddles (after the rains) to cross, but at the end of the day it was well worth it. Thank you, ride leader, Tom Murphy. Although we are still short on ride leaders we seem to be getting rides out. Come on guys! Sign-up and lead a ride that you would like to do. It can be 15 to 30 miles or longer. You just need to decide where you want to go. The days are get- ting longer, the rains have stopped and there are no excuses. The Spring Choo Choo ride had to be cancelled due to a problem with Amtrak. Time conflicts did not allow us to re- schedule this one. I know many of you were disappointed but there will be another one scheduled in September. This is another beautiful ride that everyone seems to look forward to and enjoy.especially taking the train back home.

  • Hexham & Dmcs Spring 12 Car Rally
    2019 Association of Northern Car Clubs Hexham & DMCs Spring 12 Car Rally See Page 53 for report Volume 10 : Issue 6: June 2019 : Maurice Ellison Chairman's Chat It’s been a quiet month for me this time with nothing planned since Warcop until the Kershope stage on the Car- lisle Stages on 8th June. I am however involved in the ongoing preparations for my clubs Memorial Rally and, with PDMC, the Heroes Stages Rally. Well this year’s WRGB route has just been announced with new locations for the HQ, the opening ceremony and a couple of stages. I have always had my doubts about using Llandudno as the HQ given the traffic gridlock around just one stage there last year but I am even more surprised when we hear that the opening ceremony will be in Liverpool and the first stage at Oulton Park both just a stone’s throw from Deeside the previous HQ. The result will be even more road miles for the crews and we will just have to see how successful the changes will be. It was very sad to hear that yet another icon of motorsport, Niki Lauda, had passed away as a result of kidney problems on 20th May aged just 70 years. Everyone old enough will remember that horrific crash at the Nür- burgring in August 1976 when his Ferrari hit an embankment and burst into flames following which he was ex- tremely lucky to survive all be it with lifelong injuries. As a result improvements to the safety of the race circuits started to be put in place.
