What a fantastic event - 149 Riders started from
Arrow Mill in Alcester to ride to Royal Leamington Spa. A car driver kindly
stood at the entrance to Arrow Mill to wave us on our way and what about the
cheers we received from the cyclists who were also enjoying their sport on a
fine sunny day
Superb |
Many
thanks to our lads on the Police bikes who were put under a lotta pressure to
find us an alternative route to get over 300 motorcycles out of the Royal Spa.
We even had time for a bit of window shopping at the bottom end of town and all
those bikers who took a longer way around, well why not, biking is all about
riding. We hear a few riders passed two Waterman pubs so if someone can let us
know where the second one is we can plan a route past that one 2 next time
Brilliant |
The Coleshill Town Brass Band
entertained us as did the flying display. The Air Ambulance copter was there but
someone stole the rotors so they couldn't give a demo and who were those guys
pretending to be ill being attended to by 2 lovely paramedics. We know it was
the uniform???
Fantastic |
OK!!! Own up!!! Who popped the
wheelie going through the camera on the duel carriageway so yer number plate was
hidden. Yer meant to do a stoppie and go through at 50
Insane |
Last but definitely not
least. THANKS TO EVERYONE
Sponsors for stumping up some cash so all the sponsorship raised went to the
Charity. Councils for allowing us to use their roads. The police for giving us
the support. The public for being tolerant. Arrow Mill for letting us use their
hotel. Rotarians for organising the event but most of all you bikers who raised
over £5,000 for the County Air Ambulance.
AWESOME |
