Ladies of Harley Strawberry Tea and Ride Out 2022

On Saturday the 13th of August the Clyde Valley Ladies of Harley put on a spread of yummy cakes, muffins, meringues, scones and sponges to tempt visitors to West Coast Harley Davidson. The day was in aid of Breast Cancer Care and a grand total of £578 was raised, so a huge thanks to everyone that baked a cake, brought a bun or enjoyed a muffin (!).

Also a Saturday wouldn’t be a Saturday without a rideout and Road Captain, Raymond Brodie, led a group of bikes on a thoroughly enjoyable figure of eight run around the north side of Ayrshire. It wasn’t long because everyone wanted to get back for cake, but it was a lot of fun.

You can see a speeded-up playback of the run on Raymonds YouTube channel below:

Dunbar RNLI Day Ride Out ’22 with Dunedin HOG

Riders from Dunedin and Clyde Valley Chapters

Clyde Valley joined up with our Brothers and Sisters at Edinburgh H-D after a ride through from West Coast H-D to attend the Dunbar RNLI Gala day.

It is fair to say there were probably more Clyde Valley bikes and riders than Dunedin as they had an alternate event also happening on the day that took many of their bikes elsewhere.

After a stop at E H-D and a briefing on the plan,a good-sized contingent of HOG riders headed around the Edinburgh City Bypass and onwards to Dunbar via the A1. We stopped at a holding area by Asda where a group of the local Dunedin members were waiting and our final numbers were complete.

All the bikes gathered up for the parade

After a short interlude to enjoy the sunny weather, we were moved into the edge of town to a further holding area before joining the parade through the street, making that Harley Symphony we all know and love.

It was Ice Cream, Chips and enjoy the festivities before we all made our separate ways back home.A great turnout for a popular charitable cause by Clyde Valley HOG.

Easter Egg Run ’22

Ready for the Off

The 2022 Childrens Hospital Easter Egg Run this year coincided with an Easter weekend event at WCHD- a double header!

The weekend of the 16th and 17th April was a bit of a double header for the chapter. Our sponsoring dealership, West Coast Harley Davidson were running a Grand Easter Weekend event in aid of Glasgow Childrens Charity and the Chapter ran a BBQ stall and all donations went to the charity funds. But coincident with this, the Sunday was the annual easter egg run and a number of members joined the huge ride through the city passing through the grounds of Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to let the kids see the spectacle, then on for an event at Braehead shopping centre.

The sun shone ( though not the warmest of days and windy), crowds were out…did anyone notice the entire church that turned out I think around Partick somewhere?

Anyway after a stop at Braehead to take in some of the atmosphere we all gradually shipped out along the road to pick up with the easter weekend festivities at WCHD. Good Times!
