Weather has big impact on annual Winchester motorcycle rally numbers

Posted on By admin

The rain may have affected the number of attendees at the Magpie Madness motorcycle rally, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of those who did go, organisers say.

The 27th annual rally, at Winchester, was held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and drew about 280 people – significantly down on the about 800 anticipated for the event.

I wondered what had happened to my dream of sipping cervezas and eating fish tacos on the beach. The original plan was a four-man Mexican Scramble—four buddies on four naked scrambler motorcycles bombing down the Baja peninsula from LA. Instead, we were down to a skeleton crew of two freezing our tails off in
