Activities

GLME’s main activities are the two 'camps' organised each year: one at Ascension weekend (4 days) and a week-long camp at the end of August for around 100 bikers each.

GLME member clubs take it in turn to organise these camps finding a good location and arranging runs and evening events. The list of past camps below is already long and evokes for participants fond memories of adventures, visits and new friends from other countries:
