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.
