Sunday 28th December 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a cold, post Christmas, Sunday morning a few stalwart (foolish?) members met for an impromptu ride ( NOT AN OFFICIAL VMCC RIDEOUT) in Dorchester. After a brief discussion it was decided we should ride to Shillingstone Station; it proved to be an inspired choice for the inaugural ride of the Blue Drippy (thank you Colin for the additional adjective) Nose section of the South Dorset VMCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set off and were soon on the Old Sherborne Road at a brisk pace with Steve Eddington at the helm. The tail end of the ride became stretched for a number of different reasons, but, like all good elastic the tail caught up with the head of the ride and we arrived together at Shillingstone Station – a heritage steam railway site for the North Dorset Railway (https:\/\/www.northdorsetrailway.co.uk\/). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of us huddled round a table in the cafe next to a wood burning stove – ahh, the warming of cold finger, toes and blue drippy noses! The reason for declaring this destination as inspired. Hot beverages, tasty pasties and cake were consumed in this wonderful company of fools (stalwarts). Rod & Carol offered a second place of refuge at their humble abode which was accepted by some. Others departed to return to their families. A great day out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
