| The First one |
I am very proud to have been part of leading team on the first Hoggin the Bridge. A comment that came from the police officer in charge as we crossed the bridge will stay with me for ever; as we rode he called me up along side him and said '' It's F~**C..^G- 6 miles long'' As neared the Bridge traveling at a slow 15-20 mph the convoy did what this event was meant to be. We HOGGED the Bridge. Not a single car amongst us. The event was due to start from Magor at 11am but because of fog we delayed the start till noon, just as we rode onto the bridge the fog cleared and the sun shone through the remaining mist just in time to make the first crossing one I will never forget.................... About 1200 Harleys with about 50 other makes - just the start of things to come. |

The thought of Hoggin the Bridge appealed to many, it was new, it was a little bit risky had a bit of the devil in it and appealed to most as a great bit of fun to raise money that fired up the hearts of many as they came from miles away to support it. |

| Not many photos for you regarding this first one |
| The ride started from Magor Services (M4) scheduled for 11am but was delayed 1 hour because of FOG about 1200 Harley-Davidsons riders plus 50 riding other attended who raised over £6000 |
| The ride finished at Clifton Rugby Football Ground - Henbury not all could get in so we filled two other club car parts as well. |
