The Bob McIntyre Memorial Classic Races Weekend
16th & 17th June 2018
Following the success of the Club’s first “Bob Mac” weekend last year (Triple Echo 229), members are invited to join us for another weekend of Classic racing and great riding. Arriving at the Glentress Hotel outside Peebles on the afternoon of Friday 15th June, there is time to settle in and have a coffee on the hotel’s terrace before setting off for an early evening ride through the gently twisting Borders roads for a meal. Evenings are long as mid-summer will almost be upon us, so conditions should be favourable. If time allows, we may visit the Leadburn Inn, a well known biker friendly venue.
On the Saturday, there’s a ride along mostly quiet country roads to the Bob McIntyre Memorial Races at East Fortune, where we’ll see a range of classic bikes and sidecars in action. Several of them are triple-engined and ridden by Club Members. On returning to the hotel that evening there will be time for a beverage before sitting down to a meal in the Hotel restaurant.
Sunday 17th involves loading up the bikes before setting off to see the vintage and classic bikes and cars taking part in the 57th Jimmy Guthrie Memorial Run, based at Denholm Green. Once the bikes set off we’ll have a short ride to get some lunch before riding to a location which suits members heading home in both a southerly and northerly direction.
The Glentress Hotel has 7 three bedded rooms costing £30 pppn for bed and full breakfast. Couples can share a room exclusively for £35 pppn. Bookings should be made directly with the hotel, who require full payment at time of booking. Please mention TR3OC. Places at the hotel are limited, so early booking would ensure your stay. There is other accommodation in the area should numbers exceed availability, but not within walking distance.
If you are joining us for this weekend, please advise Martin Rawson, Events Secretary on events@tr3oc.com, so we know to expect you and have numbers for the meal on the Saturday evening. We also need to know if anyone locally is joining us at any time over the weekend.
We look forward to seeing you at the event.
