LADAM Events
In addition to all the training we provide, LADAM organises lots of social rides and events every the year. Naturally, most of our organised rides are scheduled during the warmer months, but don’t worry, we don’t hibernate entirely in the depths of winter either, and regularly organise talks and presentations to keep our members engaged with all thing motorcycling and advanced riding related. When the weather permits, we have a monthly extended ride on the last Sunday of each month, where we may be out for the whole day. See below for more information on the groups rides we have planned and click here to see our Group Riding Etiquette and details of our Group Riding Etiquette.
This year’s winter programme of evening events is also below and also more details of special events and skills days, including the next Treasure Hunt on 26th July 2025.
LADAM Club Saturdays
We meet every other Saturday at Leicester North Services, Birstall, Leicester LE4 3BT. Follow the road behind the services and into the car park. We meet throughout the year for Observed Rides and our regular Saturday Group Ride, only cancelling if the temperature drops below three degrees.
Our Saturday morning rides are a great opportunity to ride out with like-minded bikers. They start around 9:30am from Leicester North Services and are usually a circular route, aiming to end up back in Birstall for around 1pm (although you can peel off if that’s in the wrong direction!). It’s also a chance for Associates to ride using the second man drop off system and, even if they’ve ridden in groups before, find out what it’s like to ride with a group of advanced riders.
If you have a great route and would like to lead a Saturday ride out, let us know. See the Events Calendar above for the dates we meet.
Winter Events Programme
All Members and Associates are welcome to our Winter Programme of Member’s events. These take place at Fosse Riders Club House, Fosse Riders Pavilion, 259 Glenfield Rd, Leicester LE3 6DL on the second Tuesday of each month from October through to March. They start at 7pm - please bring a prize for the raffle! We are still in the process of finalising the programme for 2024/25, but see below for more details. We look forward to seeing you there!

Longer Ride Outs 2024 - 2025
Throughout the year, we aim to schedule at least one longer ride each month, that may run for a full day. This is usually on the last Sunday of the month to avoid Club Saturdays. Members are all welcome, although we recommend that Associates check with their Observer before signing up. Usually the numbers are restricted for these rides and you will need to book in advance. Trips in 2024 included a Tour of the Cotswolds, a ride to Squires, across to Shobden Airfield and up to the Peak District.

Summer Chip Shop Rides
During the summer months, the Members’ events are replaced by a rideout on the second Tuesday of every month. These all leave from Leicester North Services promptly at 6:30pm and head in any direction towards a fish and chip shop. All Members and Associates are welcome and there is no restriction on the number of riders, nor do you need to book. For dates for 2025, check the calendar above.
If you have a favourite Fish & Chip shop and would like to recommend it or lead a ride, let us know.
