We broke two things today.
The first was a record. And that was for the number of VI’s arriving on the same train at Deighton Station. 9 stokers to be precise.
The second was a more literal breakage. Although the timing chain on Paul’s tandem didn’t actually snap. It simply refused to stay on following an argument with a shoe.
Thankfully, with only 3 miles to run back to base, a man with a van. Or should that be a Mann with a van, came to the rescue.
All that said, what a fantastic way for the ten participating tandems to spend a very sunny Saturday.
And that might just be a third record. Joint rides with Beech Holme excepted, I don’t think we’ve ever had ten tandems cruising around Fairburn’s fair lanes before today.
Thanks to everyone who came.
