The county of Hampshire has some fantastic B-roads, tarmac lanes and byways. The Witley 100 Long Distance Trial brings them all together with some great trials sections and an exciting timed special test at the finish to make the best possible day out on two wheels – not to mention a fair test of machine and rider!
This year, once again, the event starts at Down Farm near Odiham Airfield and the (approximately) 100-mile route will take you on a whistle-stop tour of open countryside, charming villages and sunken lanes. The comprehensive road-book - acknowledged as one of the best of its type – describes every junction on the route, along with approximate mileages between, and used with care will guide you reliably to the finish.
Apart from the special test, which will decide positions in case of a tie, there is no speed element in the competition, which is run under ACU rules and authorisation. The trials sections, which are set up along the green lanes themselves, will be accessible to novice riders will also be noted in the road-book. Marks are lost for footing, stopping - or falling off - in the sections, but apart from that it's like a day's trail ride.

Sammy Miller Museum run Following last summer’s outing to New Milton, it was decided to go for a repeat performance for 2011.
 This time it was a midweek run, starting from the Hog’s Back layby at 10.00 Wednesday with Bernard in the lead. Among those present for the occasion were Diana on pillion, Alec and Graham on almost matching new Bonnevilles, Graham Ford on the BMW and Barry on the Ariel, looking great in its new Cyclone livery. If Bernard had brought the Triumph (or one of them) rather than the Bandit, I would have been the only Japanese mounted participant! A pleasant run down the A31 and M3 and through to Lyndhurst, where as usual traffic was heavy, brought us, still all together, to Bashley Cross before 11.30. Coffee was kindly stood by Graham F, after which we spent an enjoyable couple of hours browsing around the Museum. As a first time visitor I was taken aback not only by the sheer scale of the operation – the museum website claims over 400 machines on display – but by the quality of the restorations and the range of bikes, including some extremely rare and unusual gems. It’s hard to single out any in particular, but some photos reproduced opposite will give you an idea. If you haven’t been there, don’t leave it as long as I have – I will definitely be going back for more soon!

Wings and Wheels: Bank Holiday weekend We will be taking part as usual in Dunsfold Airfield’s Wings and Wheels, the major air/car/bike show in the area over the Bank Holiday weekend, 28th & 29th August, along with enthusiastic youngsters from the Surrey Schoolboys Trials Club. The event will again be running on both the Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, and anyone who is available to help with setting up on Saturday, manning the stand and the arena trial on the two show days, and packing up afterwards, will be very welcome. Tickets will be available from Dave Mair. Please talk to Colin Boniface soon if you are available and interested – it’s a great weekend out.
