2025 ABC Mileage Challenge

Hi Guy

For tee shirts have a look on the Redbubble at www.redbubble.com and search for "ABC Motorcycle" and you will find a variety of tee shirt options. I should point out that these tee shirts are nothing to do with me or anyone else on the forum as far I know, but still nice to have when one goes ABCing.

Phil

p.s. Well done on the mileage and I think you are way ahead this month. Can we have some pictures next time?

Phi, I was under the impression, you made the "T" shirts in your sewing circle

Hi All 
well off to France again ! Kate with her Busy Bee and myself on my ABC , MD 👍
a great weekend and MD performed fantastically, racing along at any time of the day , that's the way of the event , closed roads so you were free to run any of the 3 routes whenever you fancied . 
I possibly did about 50 miles but they were the best 50 by far ! 

Hi ABCers

Well what do I say about June other than it was another fine month for ABC. Keith (XB) took the honours at Banbury, Tony took MD on holiday to France whereas Paul (BF) and Alex (XL) went to the pub. Guy went up and down Mt. Glorious many, many times to achieve the best individual mileage for the month of 175 miles with Harry (BE) coming second with 72 miles. The total mileage covered in June was a respectable 459 mile. Well done to you all.

First picture this month is of XB and ground crew at the Banbury Run.
 

Secondly, we have MD waiting to be re-fuelled somewhere in France.
 

Next is a picture of BE taken on a recent VMCC run in the company of a Calthorpe ridden by Harry's wife.
 

Lastly, a picture of dear old EK at the pub with a Douglas 2 3/4 along side which was the only time the Douglas managed keep up with the ABC.
 

July looks like being a bumper-mileage month...Alex and I rode out in atrocious weather on Tuesday evening to the Potting Shed in Crudwell (19 miles each), and to the Carpenters Arms in Miserden on Wednesday evening (21 miles each).
Stanford Hall is next up, with many laps of the arena of course, and we have another scheduled local ride on the 22nd., report to follow in due course.
Problems to date: an oiled plug for BF, and a slackened tappet for XL.
Photos? Of wet and muddy bikes one night, and dry and (still) muddy bikes the next? No! 

Hi ABCers

Thank you Paul for your interim report. Just to clarify that under the Sams Regulations, 420 laps of the Founder Day arena is equivalent to 1 mile. Any ABCer wishing to claim Founders Day arena mileage will of course need to have their laps witnessed by an ABC accredited third-party.
