Shewsbury Rideout Report

10 scooters left Clubbies around 10-45 with the weather cloudy and breezy with no sign of the previous evening heavy rain. It was nice to see some new faces joining us with John from the Northern Aces, Dave Pritchard from the Port and the young Greg Littler on a 50cc twist and go which was easily keeping up with the Lammies and Vespas.

We stopped at The Raven cafe just the other side of Whitchurch for a brew and bacon butty and even had some of the bikers coming over to have a look at the scoots. As we arrived at The Red Barn pub in Shewsbury the sun was out, the northern soul was playing and the real ale in the pub was spot on. A big thanks to The Severnside Lions S.C. for putting on a really good event, with burger bars, ice cream vans and even a mini rideout around Shewsbury town centre.

Just to cap the fantastic day out Dave Baker won best Lambretta for his TV 175, John from the Northern Aces on his Vespa GTS won furthest travelled prize and Andy Swarbrick won a bottle of wine in the raffle. A nice ride back through Ellesmere and Overton capped off a really good day. This is one rideout I would highly recommend for next year.
