Today we had SAM's Hints & Tips event for 2026. We met at The Royal George in Ipswich. The weather was fantastic and 18 riders, 6 Observers and 6 Ride Leaders went round a 50 mile route in the Suffolk Countryside. There were three stops (including the end, back at the pub, for refreshments) where advice was given to Associate and Full members and guests. A useful day for all involved. Thanks to those who organised and ran the event and those who helped out on the day.

A excellent talk this evening at our May Group Night from our guest speaker, author Lucy Lewis, who joined the Army on the spur of the moment. She trained at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst and was chosen in 1989 to become the first woman to operate as a Bomb Disposal Officer with the Royal Engineers. She kept us all entertained with stories and memories from her time in the army.

Numbers were low today for the SAM Breakfast Run to Mr D's at Hatfield Peveral. Was it the Bank Holiday weekend, or the pessimistic weather forecast? The 11 members on the ride had lovely sunshine and dry roads on an excellent route with a mixture of roads.

Today was the first of this year's Ride Leader training events. Thanks to everyone who took part and re-qualified or qualified for the first time. Without Ride Leader volunteers our social rides would not be able to take place and run so smoothly.
