[Mick Hewitt]

Hi all.
August's social ride is to Scotsdales Garden Centre Fordham, Ely - CB7 5LQ.

No need to book, just turn up and enjoy the ride. Open to all EAMG paid up members.
Note: If you have a friend interested in joining EAMG, then they can come along as a guest on the ride as long as they confirm with me first.

Meet: Sainsbury's Springfield (CM2 5PA).
Time: 09:00 for 09:30 prompt departure.
Full tank of fuel - fuel available Sainsburys but no toilets.
Distance: About 110 miles round trip - Approx.
Finish at MacD Regiment Way for coffee - about 14:30.
Note: Toilets are at the BP garage Boreham interchange.

Please check your machine is fully checked:
POWERSBEST:
PETROL - full tank for journey.
OIL - check engine/brake fluid levels. Also look for oil leaks.
WATER - check coolant level.
ELECTRICS - check all lights operate / horn / warning lights.
RUBBER - check TYRE pressures as advised in your manual. Check tread depth - law says 1mm (on wear tab) around the whole circumference. Note: plan to change before this as the braking/grip levels reduce drastically as the tyre reaches the minimum legal requirement.
STEERING - check no fouling of cables side to side.
BRAKES - Check pads for wear, or ask your observer if your unsure.
EQUIPMENT - check box/panniers secure and no straps hanging.
SUSPENSION - check the legs for leaks - look for oil film near seals. Visual check on rear.
TRANSMISSION - engine oil also lubricates gearbox - in nearly all cases. CHECK YOUR CHAIN - IT MUST BE LUBRICATED AND ADJUSTED CORRECTLY AND ALSO FIT FOR PURPOSE. Any doubts visit your bike shop or ask an Observer.

Looking forward to it.
Mick and Alan - please add mobiles to your contacts.
