Ride into Ryde for the Wight Lightning

The excellently named Wight Lightning Rally will be held this year on September 16-18 at Smallbrooke Stadium, Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Organised by the island’s branch of the BSA Owners Club, the weekend will feature live entertainment, breakfast, evening meals as well as awards presentations and, of course, a raffle. On Saturday there will be a rideout around the wonderful Isle of Wight – if you’ve never been there, make it a smashing weekend away and combine the Wight Lightning with a tour of this little gem of an island.
