!!!REDLINE IX MCC's SEVENTH CHARITY RIDEOUT - SUNDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2010!!!

;D Hard to believe but it's coming round again - the best rideout this side of Broughshane is almost upon us! ;D
Now into its 7th run it has always been well supported with a cracking route taking in varied roads, including the Coast Road, around a 62 mile course. Redline IX MCC Club Members will be out and about throughout the next couple of months advertising the rideout. So, if you find a flyer left on your bike or see one at various dealers throughout NI, put it somewhere safe, stick a marker in your calendar and make sure you come along.

THE ROUTE

It's a cracking route with something for everyone and a halfway break at Glenarm where toilets and a decent chip wagon will be available in the car park. Total distance = 61 miles.

A shorter return leg in case of inclement weather is also available.

On arrival at the Finish Point (Michelin Club, Ballymena) there will be a raffle and refreshment with the opportunity to also enter a special raffle for a one-off t-shirt signed by many of the top road racers.

Hi all,

The big day is getting closer with only 9 weeks left to go. Raffle prizes are starting to come in now so keep an eye on list to see what's on offer and remember - entry is free when you make your donation to the Charity on the day! ;D

M.

[El Loco]

Things are hotting up now and, with a month to go, the special raffle prize is coming together. Check out the top thread to see who's autographed the shirt to date - Hutchy, Ryan, Bruce are all there and there's more to come! ;D

M.

[El Loco]

Well we promised that the names would keep coming and we've kept our word! ;D

Take a look at the top thread and you'll see the shirt is becoming a Who's Who of the road racing scene. We're not stopping there either and the shirt will be heading down with us to the Munster 100 this weekend.

With two weeks left to go the Club is plugging the rideout as hard as it can - we've even got announcements on Downtown Radio. ;D

There will be a check of the route tomorrow to make sure there's no surprises on the day and it's all coming together nicely.

M.

[El Loco]

The route's looking good and a whole whack of flyers have been left out an about (check the top post for details) to make sure no-one misses out! ;D

M.

[El Loco]

Anyone checked the weather for this Sunday Well you should! ;D Out of all the crappy weather we've been experiencing recently this Sunday's Rideout will be excused so that we can all have a cracking day's run. ;D

If you're reading this and deciding whether to make the effort then the weather should sway you - Dry? Sunny? Warm? In September? It's too good an opportunity to miss!

See you there on Sunday.

All the best, M.

;D ;D ;D

[El Loco]

Oh Yes indeedy! ;D

Shame I'll be on 4 wheels rather than two but there's always next year fella ;D

M.

[El Loco]

A massive thank you for the support to today's rideout. The weather didn't let us down and it was good to see so many people enjoying themselves. ;D

Total amount raised and photos to follow but we're already looking at next year's event and we'll confirm the date in the very near future.

Once again, very many thanks to everyone who made the day happen and to all of you who made the effort and supported us.

Thanks very much for a very enjoyable ride out. The route was excellent and the organisation by the marshals was very professional. It was my first ride out and was very pleased that there were pace groups to suit all styles of riders.

Willie,

Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to come on here and letting us know. Hopefully we'll see you at next year's and we're just in the process of going firm on the date so don't be a stranger to the site. ;D

All the best,

Just to let those of you who couldn't make it know that the autographed shirt went for £30 and many thanks to the kind person who made the highest bid.

The signatures were collected by our own Road Racer - Jack Williamson, throughout the season during the Riders' Briefs etc. That worked out at just over £1 an autograph (and a nice white shirt as well ;D) which was an absolute bargain.

We're not interested in eBay where we might have got a better price but decided to give the bikers who made the effort in coming along the chance to own a one-off.

We'll be doing the same next year so make sure you come along!
