Bike Right 10.5

9-10 April 2005, Longridge Towers, Berwick-upon-Tweed

Bike Right and a bit heralds the approach of summer. Well, it would do it if it wasn't for the snow and bitterly cold winds. Gathering at Longridge Towers, cyclists warmed their frozen extremities on steaming mugs of tea and caught up on a winter's riding. Good food, heating and slide shows kept the majority in on the Friday night, but an elite group wanted to help Ralf test his new dynamo and so we escaped to the pub.

For Saturday, I joined Phil and friends for a good ride to Selkirk with several teashops and plenty of rain showers, sun and tail winds.

Sunday was the annual pilgrimage on more quiet roads to Coldingham and lunch by the harbour.

Bowling along

Then it was back to Longridge and then into Berwick-upon-Tweed for the train home.

Excellent Fun!
