Fairburn – 28 Sep 24

Takeaways from today’s bash from Birkin: Calling a venue “Fisheries” doesn’t necessarily mean they sell chips – but they do – which is just as well as the only hot butties on offer were bacon (no eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes or beans 😢); Judith is a very capable ride leader🚴‍♀️; we’re grateful we have another driver who can tow🚗 – thanks Stevie; all timing chain rings need checking for tightness – thanks Dave for sorting the one which came off today (glad you found the bolt); and we need to check seat collar bolts too; it doesn’t matter if it’s cold if the sun is shining; trains sometimes run to time 🚂; cycling out to the venue is fun (Keith did it again); cycling cohorts often mingle; and last, but not least —— Trekkers are an absolutely amazing cycling community… long may the fun continue😀😀😀😀😀

Steve Dr and Connor arrived at nearby South Milford by train. It arrived on time!
But Keith rode out to Birkin on his bike..(sorry on one of his bikes!!!)
