VMCC Castle Acre Run

 Sunday dawns and I'm up early to get to the start of the Norwich & District VMCC Castle Acre Run but first, it's a trip on the W/NG to deliver the TS125 tank:

With the tank back on the MZ, son Tom starts the freshly oiled & fuelled SQ4 that he will ride today. I'm on the modern Interceptor, just for a change. 

First stop is at the start of the run, for tea, a chat and to sign on. Lovely barn conversion and outbuildings:

At 11:00, we depart for the 37 mile trip to Castle Acre, following the Tulip route sheets. I make the mistake of relaxing at the back of a line of two bikes who miss a turn and I have to double back, messing up my calculations. We arrive eventually, and I'm not last, though I expect to find Tom and the SQ4 there already. He's not, and it turns out he's stopped to wait for me, witnessed by the missed calls on my phone. He turns up a few minutes later and we have lunch.

Two portions of loaded fries and a chat later we wander out to look at the bikes, and do some more chatting...

The rest of the section will take another 37 mile run back to the start, but since that would be in totally the wrong direction for us we say our goodbyes and head back to North Norfolk.

Totals for the day - 130 miles for me aboard two different bikes; about 100 of those on the Interceptor. The SQ4 is going really well and uses negligible oil, and consumes fuel at 50 mpg!

Have to take it a bit easier next time.
