Report on the first club ride out of the year

18/2/2012

After an email was circulated among the membership a last minute run for those lucky folk who can make it on a Friday was decided upon. Seven riders and bikes made it out into the damp Friday for a gentle run around Northamptonshires Welland Valley. Matt led the way on Eddies old Norton Model 7 fitting in a stop at East Carlton country parks cafe. This proved to be exceptional value, for instance
three of us enjoying a mug of tea or coffee and a good bacon roll for £2.70. each.
After the cafes delights we headed of into improving weather meandering back towards Matts house again.
We were all a little rusty as most of us havnt been out for a while. Derrick proved this when he dropped his 250 Honda actually on Matts drive whilst doing a U turn.
Never mind it was still rideable. After a bit of bike fiddling on the drive it was indoors for tea buns and biscuits before we headed off home having verbally sorted out the countries problems and policies.
See some photos on gallery two.

Notice how John refers to THREE getting exceptional value ....they didn't let Derrick and me know about the specials board so as usual we missed out whilst they munched away at their bacon rolls - still Rod is on a diet so he only had one roll........BUT.........he made up for it at my house scoffing a massive chunk of Christmas Cake - umpteen of Sue's scones and a good few choc biscuits before heading of for lunch..........some diet!

It was a good ride out with good company and as usual a lot of banter........strange without Eddie keeping everyone laughing.
