Despite the awful weather we have had in the first three months of the year several rides have taken place, but alas other than the ride to Market Harborough our resident photographer has not been with us.....and as all that know aee aware I am afraid I do not have one of these phone camera thingies......in fact never carry have a mobile phone - I HATE THEM! (its an age thing).
Anyway I continue get out as much and as often as I can and I always ask at the club if anyone is up for a ride during the week ahead sometimes even managing to encourage a few to dust off the cobwebs - last minute phone rounds still normally bring a core of individuals out ....of course this last minute call routine is itself somewhat devisive as I only tend to phone those that have previously indicated they are interested or that I know are likely to be free.
We had about five rides of between 40 and 80 miles last month with maximum of six taking part - it was also great to see Pete Butterworth join us last Sunday for a fettling ride on his recently completed Gold Star. We went to Jack Hill's Cafe the scenic way and enjoyed a great bacon sandwich, good crowd and was joined by a fith bike on the way home as we met up with a guy from Earls Bartion who led us all home.
Very pleased to update everyone on Martyn Penney who also did a little ride with Rod and me on Thursday afternoon......rumour has it in preparation for going on ride with "The Panther Boys" on Friday? if there was a ride afraid I must of missed it being discussed at the Club and without any details I was unable to go - did anyone go out?
