18th Sept to
End of the Line
The gorgeous weather brought out 23 bikers this month, ready to enjoy a slightly
longer ride than usual to the End of the Line cafe` in Freshwater. An eventful
meeting started with a welcome to an enthusiastic young lady rider, joining
in for the first time.
At the off, one of the bikes failed to start up, which delayed my departure
as the tail end rider. I was further delayed exiting the car park by a queue
of cars while you were all well on your way ! After I caught up to the first
lay off rider, the faulty bike that had objected to starting, caught me up
! This confused the "lay off" system and caused more slight delays
as the faulty bike objected it`s way to Niton and then departed the group
for a (successful outcome), short cut home.
All was well again until Shorwell when two "sprocket jockies" caught
us up and I presume, weaved through and overtook the whole group ! ! But as
ever, we all arrived ok for tea and a chat bathed in afternoon sunshine.
Have a safe few weeks until next time and always expect the unexpectables
! ! Your tail end Charlie, Steve.
