Despite an embarrassing faux pas which meant we arrived with one tandem less than required (Paul has difficulty counting past seven!), the ride was a fitting end to our season.
Massive thanks to Nicola and Brittany who immediately volunteered to step down. A sacrifice made all the more special by virtue of the fact it was Nicola’s birthday and Brittany had brought her own tandem.
But for the seven bikes that did get away, all went well. Spurred on by last week’s success, Elisa once again rode like a true champion. Rumour has it she’ll be leading rides next season!
Great to see Ali back in the saddle. Sorry Saudi weren’t able to boss Poland as they had Argentina.
And so folks, that’s it for another year. Just next week’s maintenance session and then we’ll be hibernating our Orbits until 2023.
But the last words of this write up belong to Kate, who sums things up perfectly: “Lovely last ride of the season. Thank you for all the organisers over the year, the entertaining write ups and the stokers for all the wonderful chat and pedalling, and thank you to all of the Tandem Trekkers for making it a great first year for me. It’s been lots of fun and friendship with the occasional cake 🍰 Kate.”
Hear! Hear!
