Title: Hoggin' the Bridge
Post by: John Silva on 12 October 2011, 09:20:42 pm

The ride will start at 11.00 a.m. from Severn View services, Aust, junction 1 M48 on the English side of the Old Severn Bridge near Bristol.
 
The parade ride will pass over the Severn Bridge following a route through several local towns and villages then culminate in the town of Chepstow.

The roads and car parks in Chepstow will be closed to other traffic and only open to participants of Hoggin' the Bridge.

This is a charity fundraising event and for you to take part in the ride, along with some 3 to 4 thousand other bikes, all we ask for is a donation.

Yup, good turn out and good weather. Marshaling and signs to follow were a little poor, just after the bridge half the bike turned off Mway and the rest carried on. A load slowed right down shrugging and not knowing where to go.
I had been a few times before so just carried on. But it did confuse a fair few.
All in all though was a good run, and I got me T shirt so I'm happy LOL

We were there too, though I agree with Ghostrider that the signage was a bit confusing if you hadn't done it before (we hadn't). We still had a great day, and managed to stay on the official route. We've put a few pictures up at http://www.torquemonsters.co.uk/hoggin.htm (http://www.torquemonsters.co.uk/hoggin.htm)
