Last Saturday was the last (official) ride out of the season …though judging by the weather currently there still seems to be a week or two left with great bike conditions. It was our sponsoring dealer’s event, West Coast Harley Davidson’s Harleyween weekend. Additionally, the Clyde Valley Ladies of Harley organized their Strawberry Tea event in support of Breast Cancer Care in Glasgow.
With the End of Season Mystery Ride needing to be canned the previous weekend due to the storm front that swept through Scotland, it was decided to have a wee compensatory ride out to end the season on tarmac before everyone headed in to eat cake.
For the ride out we went a nice wee loop down to Stewarton then across by Newton Mearns and back up through Barrhead to WCHD. A ride of about 80 minutes or so and one in which we encountered what seemed like 4 seasons on one run. It was warm, it was cold, it was wet and it was dry, but we had some great ( new to us) roads on the route and its one to bear in mind for drier warmer days.
Back at WCHD it was Spooky goings on and much cakery with a Tarot Card reader, and face painting on the go as well. Lots of people made an effort with the fancy dress and the Ladies made a fantastic £660 pounds for Breast Cancer Care.

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.
