Some twenty-six riders signed on for this year’s Periwinkle Run from Cottered.  The route was modified from last year’s due to the closure of the previous lunch stop.  The days when it was possible to get the New Hudson out for an evening run and choose from a score of pubs within twenty miles seem to be fast disappearing, with the current popular pub name being The ‘For Sale’ (sorry to any called ‘The Fore Sail’).  However a new lunch venue ‘The Three Tuns’ at Great Hormead proved to be a very convivially hosted spot.  A couple of machines broke down, resulting in two very disappointed riders, something to do with the quality of ancient sparks and modern petrol.  And congratulations to the rider who kept pace with the recovery vehicle on his Mobylette.

Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, also to the weather for being so kind to us.
