Summer, what summer?

Sad to say adventures have been non existent since I got back from the UK tour with Grizzly. Opportunities to get my leg over were severely curtailed due to the weather mainly. August was just a washout from start to finish, so a whole month of potential biking went begging. All this means, that since I got back from tour 2 months ago, the only time Ginny has been out of the garage, was the other week, when I washed off all the crap from the UK tour. Hopefully I'll be able to get out over the next week or two but what summer we've had, is now on the wane, so that may be wishful thinking.

In the pipeline though, is the RTTW, Ride to the Wall run to the National Memorial Arboretum with my bro', on 1st/2nd October. We were down to do it last year but it was cancelled, so we're booked again for this year.

We'll ride up Friday and stay in the Ramada Hotel at Newport Pagnell services on the M1. There are a number of rides/routes to the NMA and we are route 3, starting at Northampton Services, about 12 miles up the M1. Setting off at 08:35, we'll ride in convoy on our designated route to the NMA, where all the other routes will converge. There'll be, I believe, a memorial service, after which we'll have time to look around some of the 400 memorials on site. Once we've had our fill, there's just the small matter of a 3+ hour ride back home, nearer 4 for Paul.

With any luck October will throw up some decent days and I'll be able to get out a few more times. Fingers crossed.

More on the RTTW ride, in a couple of weeks. Bye for now.
