Mileage Challenge 2026

Hi ABCers

They say the month of March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb and in the world of ABC we have finished the month as lions! The grand total of miles covered by ABC in March was a massive 914 miles! The lion's share of this was ridden by Peter Gillespie on JHF and his friend Anton Blignaut on FGL in the 2026 Durban & Johannesburg Rally. Meanwhile at home Tony Crump on MD and Phil Batten on WA completed the much, much shorter Pioneer Plus run from Tattenham Corner, Epsom to Brighton City Airport.

Time for some pictures. This first picture is of Anton and Peter with their ABCs on what I presume was a local test run before the the DJ Rally. Peter has promised a full report on the event with some more pictures.
 

Next a picture taken at the start of the Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run. MD and WA were both entered in to the Pioneer Plus class for "new" bikes manufactured between 1915 and 1930.
 

As I write this in early April I am reminded that the clocks have gone forward and Easter is here and now is the time to dust off that ABC and take it for a spin around the block or to your local bike night. You won't regret it.
