Date: Monday 30th May 2011
Depart Cafe: 10.30am
Route: A406 - A13 - M25 - A2 - M2 - A299 to Margate Seafront
The 4th annual Margate Meltdown is the most recently established of Ace Cafe London's free to attend major ride-outs.
The ride-out from the cafe to this popular seaside resort in Kent is held each year on occasion of the annual Spring Bank Holiday. Margate's seafront and harbour is given over to motorcycles, diverse club and trade stands, a stage and live entertainment from Noon with rockin' band "The Sunsetters" and DJ Bill Guntrip.
Margate's famous amusement park, Dreamland will be open and back by popular demand, is the return of Carter's Steam Fair with their paramount Chair-O-Planes having received a complete restoration in recent months. These are the second large ride the Carter family took on the road back in the early days of being showmen and believed to have originated from Europe during the early 1920's!
Dreamland is open from 11am and is free to enter.
Working closely with our chosen charity for this event, the Royal British Legion Riders Branch (RBLRB), the town and Thanet District Council, Margate not only has everything that a great ride-out requires, it has a great beach and plenty of heritage to include a legacy from the 1960's that is of world renown relating to motorbikes, scooters and the Mods & Rockers that rode them!

Now available at the cafe and from the Ace Cafe's web shop, and celebrating the 10th anniversary of the cafe having fully reopened, the comprehensive new book "Ace Times, speed thrills and tea spills, a cafe and a culture" relates and illustrates the definitive history of London's Ace Cafe, a roadside pull-in that opened in 1938 and became the most famous haunt of the motorcycle riding "Ton-up kids" in the 50s and the Rockers in the 60s. The book also tells the story of other venues and cafes, like the 59 club, the Busy Bee and others elsewhere around the country.
A substantial high quality hardback publication, over seventy years in the making, packed with personal recollections and evocative photographs, Ace Times also features the fastest motorcycles, the loudest music, the iconic movies and the distinctive clothing and styles of the cafe racing era. Burn ups, press hysteria, rock n roll riots, police baiting, Mods and Rockers, pirate radio, and loads more besides, all unambiguously revealed.
Mick Duckworth, the author of this hard-bound publication from Redline Books, will be signing copies at Ace Cafe London on Sunday 24th April (Norton & BSA Day) and on the Ace stand on Southend seafront Easter Monday 25th April, occasion of the cafe's 13th annual Southend Shakedown.
