Ride Report
What a lovely morning to be out on the bike with good company, a few puddles but a great opportunity to work out how not to get the feet wet. It was good to see Neil out on the ride, not seen for a while, and George the newby to Beacon......not sure George got the memo of Beaconites order at a cafe stop, bacon or sausage sandwich, he ordered a delightful bowl of rice and avocado with lentils, I'm guessing he forgot his rice cakes. Cafe stop was a lovely as ever amongst the peartrees of Bromfield's, planted in the winter of 1939. Ed and I made a dash at the end towards Selly Oak, and I got to see the turbo diesel engine of Mr TT unleashed, a lovely site to see, albeit I was trying to see how far back from him I could benefit from the aero stream
