Who are we?
The Mayflower Motorcycle Club is a national club with a local feel - we are renowned for being a very sociable touring club with a wide range of members across the country - the focus being that it doesn't matter what motorcycle you own as long as you ride it.
The Club organises a full social calendar, including the long-standing Pilgrims Rally and monthly camping weekends held in different parts of the country and abroad. A pre-requisite for these events is a real ale pub with good food. The club likes to camp in interesting parts of the country where members can enjoy a decent ride and have somewhere to look around during the course of the weekend. These camping weekends are regularly attended by 40 percent of the club's membership.
In addition, the club attends rallies all over Europe, including events organised by the FIM,
Over the course of the year, some 80% of the club's 200+ membership attend a club event, which reflects the enthusiasm of its members and may surprise some of the larger local, national and one-make clubs.
2022 Force 10 Rally
Here's the online invitation to the Force 10 rally for 2022, being held from the 7th to the 9th of January 2022.
Tickets are £15 and there is an opportunity to buy a new design Force 10 long-sleeved T shirt
Pilgrims Rally 2021
It is with regret that the committee has decided that it would be too risky to hold the Pilgrims Rally this year. We are planning the 2022 event however for the weekend of 5/6/7th of August and will publish further details soon.
Riding the National
This event has been running since the 1930s and uses the strapline, “The BEST excuse ever for a ride out”. I took part last year (after a 20-year gap) and really enjoyed it, and I know that other members would as well.
Think of it as a Treasure Hunt, around England (similar events are run in Scotland and Wales). You chose how many miles you wish to ride and then plan a route to suit yourself. The manned control points of previous years are being rested at the moment, so even if the restrictions continue, we should still be able to ride it. Instead, the volunteers (clubs, ACU/BMF centres, church groups etc), have nominated a venue (pub, factory, coffee stop etc) and placed a yellow poster there with a unique 6 digit number on it. You record the number and the time at each stop.

Camping Weekends are cancelled until further notice
It is with great sadness that we have to announce this year's camping weekends are having to be cancelled until further notice.
Although this decision has not been taken lightly we must be sensible and take on board the current evolving situation in regards to Coronavirus (covid-19) and minimise the risk of spread to those vulnerable and with health conditions.
Also as a club that has always done is best to patronise the great British pub, our hearts go out to them at this uncertain time.
Take care, look after each other and wash your hands.

On behalf of the Committee
