Beware of new surface dressing !! (Weardale)
If you are going to be out and about in Weardale (A689rd) on your bike – be aware that there is a lot of re-surfacing going on ‘up the dale’
Last week two local motorcyclists were involved in a crash with a car between Frosterley and Wolsingham, when it appears that the car has gone out of control on the loose chippings and collided with the motorcyclists who were travelling in the opposite direction. Extensive resurfacing has now been done between the A68 Harperley roundabout and A689 Wolsingham – Please Take Care…..
1000hrs for a 1030hrs start.
Congratulations to James and Kai who last week travelled to Scotland (with their families) to compete in the Scottish mini moto championship and once again came away with podium finishes & trophies ….. Well Done……

Dave’s most recent ride was to travel to America – and then go North to Alaska where he hired a Harley and then he did what he does best – ride it……. around Alaska….
Read about Dave’s ‘adventure’s (past & present) at his website : http://www.davidbadcock.co.uk/index.html
NO…. not Ossie and Sharon, but our very own Ashley & Peter, who have both completed BikeWise Training days and subsequently passed their IAM Tests with Durham Advanced Motorcyclists.
They ‘tied the knot’ recently – thought they might have signed the register on a motorcycle but I suppose Peter had to make some concessions !!
All the Best for the future from the BikeWise ‘Team’
