WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, A WARMISH STILL & SUNNY
OCTOBERS DAY' Once
you are sign in you can choose the start time you
prefer and then get ready for the big off. The
weather was fantastic this year and loads of eager
bikers young and old all turned up for a charity
bicycle ride around the Rutland Lake.
Most
of the riders had the B.H.F tee shirts on and the
others had to do with out because the
organizers had run out. The riders set off on a
man-made build track around the lake with its ups
and downs as it twisted through woods, meadows,
cycle lanes and mirror roads.
There
were a couple of rest stops for all the riders if
they wanted to stop and have a break and re-charge
the run down batteries. Marshall's were posted at
all the major junctions to help point the riders
in the right directions. Also out on the route
were paramedics on bicycles roaming around to give
assistance if needed.
"The good thing about these charity rides is"
(A) you get to ride around a pre-set route
which is signed & Marshalled with refreshments so
no need to keep stopping and checking the map.
(B) you make a small donation and help a
worthy charity to boot.
