On Sunday the sun finally shone. It was definitely on the cool side but not cold, and we assembled 27 bikes at the Showcase near Coatbridge to head East to Portobello by the sea, on the north east side of Edinburgh.
We had a great run along the A89 all the way to the City Bypass then a quick plod around Edinburgh’s orbital car park took us to Sheriffhall Roundabout where we exited onto the back road down to the coast.
Jigger ( for it was he, leading) had arranged parking for us right beside the wee coffee wagon by Porty Swimming baths and we sat on the promenade wall and enjoyed the view of the beach volleyball of the Firth of Forth and Fife
We had more members join us at the beach, some couldn’t make it across to Glasgow for the start and in the end there were about 30 odd bikes.
We had loads of interest from the locals and it was an exceptionally pleasant way to spend a Springtime Sunday afternoon.
So thats Ice cream done…next up Chips….a wee chippy run is planned on Wednesday evening as part of our new idea…Bike Nights on Tour! See you at McGonagles, Clydebank!

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. - Being Safe and Prepared on Ride Outs
