Here it is, the official announcement of this years (and the last...probably/possibly) Saddlebags Social Ride.

This is the 4th SB social ride. It has been a brilliant day every time, with great people and a great vibe that I'm sure everybody involved has enjoyed. It has been an absolute pleasure to meet people from far and wide and I have found it incredibly humbling and I really don't know how to express my gratitude. If you have been umming and arring about coming to the previous social rides, now is the time to take that step, I guarantee you won't regret it. Believe it or not I struggle in social situations and I know I'm not alone on that front. But there is something about the SB social ride that puts you at ease immediately. Several people have told me that they were unsure about coming because they didn't think it was for them, but were so glad they did. I am not exaggerating when I say lifelong friends have been made at these meets.

Down to the nitty gritty. Below are various links to useful videos regarding the Saddlebags Social Ride. Please ignore the dates referenced in these videos as they were produced for previous years. this social ride is most definitely *SUNDAY 26th MAY 2024*

*MOST IMPORTANT*
Please understand the drop off/marker system. Failure to follow this very simple system can make things really complicated and be a real pain in the butt, and nobody wants to be remembered for that (mentioning no names). If you have any concerns about being a marker, just make sure that there is at least 6 riders between you and the leader of your group. We shouldn't have to drop more than 5 or 6 markers between each stop.
