The Hot Rod Hayride Reunion 2022

Bisley, Surrey, UK

Words and Pictures by Keith Harman

It was quite a surprise when it was announced that the Hot Rod Hayride would not only be on for 2022, but that it would be returning to Bisley. With its old, colonial-style club houses and buildings, Bisley is by far one of the coolest venue for a rod run in the UK, and the best years of previous Hayrides provided many with awesome memories that will last a lifetime.  The whole traditional scene has grown worldwide over the last 15 years or so since then, and didn’t it show at this years Hayride! The weather was hot, the beer was cold, and the music was cool, and as a result, the Hayride Reunion (as it was billed this year) was a resounding success once again, with some even saying it was the best yet. Will there be another next year? Organiser Jerry Chatabox and the Detonators CC replied to the question with only a tight lipped, ‘Watch this space’….We’re watching.
