SVGW – 19 Oct 24

Barney explaining the highs (and occasional lows) of the Velodrome to Vicki, Mark and Tim.

As Tim commented, as Vicki affirmed and as the football cliche has it, today’s ride was most certainly one of two halves. Outbound was wet; sock soakingly so. Inbound was sunny, but insufficiently so, if the hope had been to dry out squelchy cycling shoes.

Whatever the weather, listening to the flowing banter (some of it unrepeatable for legal reasons) on a Saturday morning sojourn at Hayley’s cafe, is enough to put a warm smile on the very dampest of faces.

This image is beyond my ability to caption. So, if someone could please upload it to one of the AI translation bots, I’ll run with whatever it suggests.

Ditto – Dave and Katie.
Chris thoughtfully pondering the possible damage his reputation might suffer if seen tandeming with our caped cycle crusader.
