Mid Lincs VMCC Boxing Day meet
11 January 2012
The great and the good of the Mid Lincs VMCC gathered en masse in Market Rasen market square, on Boxing Dya 26 December, for the annual meet up and ride out. The past two years have been marred by sever ice on the major roads, let alone the minor routes, so the ride out was curtailed. However, a good stretch of mild and reasonably dry weather brought riders and spectators out by the dozen. There were some super machines on show, both original unrestored jobs and immaculate restorations, classic sportsters, winter hacks, three wheelers, combinations and the odd fairly modern bike too. After an hour or so's chin-wag, it was off westward to the Beckett Arms, at Corringham, just outside Gainsborough, for a warming brew.
