‘What a difference a day makes!’ Indeed!
The apparent last of the Spanish weather contributed a fine turnout of thirteen riders for the mid-week run of some thirty-six miles. Had the run have been scheduled for a day later I guess the line-up would have been zero. Riders homed in on Stotfold from various parts of the region. A call the night before from a rider, to confirm that the run was still on and saying he would bring a C90. Nothing unusual? No, but when it was realized that the C90 had come under its own power for 67 miles that makes some 170 miles in the saddle for the day!
No breakdowns or hiccups from a variety of machinery. Of note was a rider, best to remain nameless, who went ride about in the urban sprawl of Baldock. But nevertheless, later, claimed he enjoyed his day out. Perhaps he can give me the route, may be some potential there.
The route included an unavoidable section of the A507. Over lunch, someone surmised he would like to have been privy to the utterances of the other road users temporally inconvenienced by the Dayglo convoy heading east, and the steam powered convoy heading west.
Thanks to all the riders for their participation and appreciation of a good outing. Thanks also to the management of ‘The Chequers’ who opened their facilities early for our benefit.
Perhaps there is potential for the mid-week event.
