OMC welcomes onto the committee Giles Olley who has a wealth of experience in UK motorcycle racing both track and road as well as IT. Giles was co-opted on at the last committee meeting as there has been a vacancy for many months so finally the committee is back to full strength.
Giles short biography reads as follows
"I've been riding motorcycles since I was 9 and had my first road bike at 16. Later on I started doing track days and then club racing. I also spent 12 years as a Racing and Track Day coach. I wanted to give something back to the sport, so in 2014 when I stopped racing I trained to become a Clerk of the Course. Now I'm very privileged to be a member of British Superbikes Race Direction and Clerk of the Course for the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man and for No Limits Racing and the British Motorcycle Racing Club. I'm also a member of the ACU Road Race Commission, which governs motorcycle racing in the UK. I spend what spare time I have working full time as Head of Infrastructure & Security for an internet company!"
Next Event
Our regular Oakley Motorcycle Club meet at Oakley Sports & Social Club (Church Lane, Oakley, Bedfordshire MK43 7RJ).
Paul Butler will be doing a progressive ride to Stroud Brewery. This will be an all day ride meeting from 9:00 at the Maypole Farm, Kempston departing at 10:00. The ride is long and quite technical so may not suit all riders but for those who like mainly challenging B roads and the odd farm track, this is a good ride. Both times in the past have been some of the best rides of the year.
DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN'S RIDE
The Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride is a worldwide event raising money for mens mental health and prostrate cancer. The Milton Keynes ride will be in the region of 150 bikes and they will be finishing their run at Oakley Sports & Social Club around 12.15 to 12.30pm that day.
Needless to say the Club will be open for all hot and cold refreshments including breakfast rolls and burgers!
