We had about a dozen bikes and riders away to Ride to the Wall at the weekend, so it is fair to say a big turn out wasn’t expected for a wee shop ride out on Saturday. In the event, we had 11 bikes and a dozen members at WCHD. The destination was to be Linlithgow which by coincidence was hosting a market day. We were a little concerned about our planned parking up area but in the event it turned out OK. We had a plan A+ and a Plan B to deal with any eventualities arising! ( Apart from Chris going to the totally wrong town… all we could do was try to stop him turning off the route ).
Once Nicole had turned up ( she was sweeper for the run, along with Frazer taking up the tail position) we headed off along the M8 picking up the A89 and skirting around Coatbridge and Airdrie before heading out across quiet country roads up through Caldercruix, Avon Bridge and in to Linlithgow on the Linlithgow Bridge road.
A really nice set of roads, in reasonably good condition ( there is a shocker) and some nice twists and turns, on what turned out to be a very pleasant Saturday morning.
Once parked up at the cross and after a few chapter photo’s most of the riders dispersed to the various coffee shops and the farmers market. Who knew what a Lamington was…..?…Nicole evidently!
It was such a nice day I think everyone was quite content just to sit around and blether but eventually everyone departed with a group taking a run in to EHD as its not too far away.

On Saturday, we kicked off the riding season with an overnight trip to the Buccleuch Arms in Moffat, attracting nearly 40 Harleys and over 50 members. Despite changing weather, we arrived safely and enjoyed the hotel’s amenities. The night was filled with laughs and mischief, marking a successful start to the season. It was great too, to have both old and new members along for the fun.
