Nita's Rideout- Cheddarphenia.

Postby Jim » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:25 pm

After what seemed like non stop rain for a whole week, the gods looked down on us scooterists, and whilst we hardly even caught a glimpse of the sun (you remember- it's that bright round thing in the sky!) it at least remained dry all day! (Maybe Nita has friends in very high places!)

Graham, Russ, Nick, Colin, Rich B, Martin M, Rick + friend, and myself set off from the Arnolfini and we had an un- eventful ride to Bath. Met up with all the other guys at Lambrettas bar, and set off for Wells. All was going OK, until Rick's scoot decided it wanted to eat it's throttle cable- not a problem , as like all good scooter riders, we all had spare cables, so easy to sort, but made us last into Wells.( Well, it wouldn't be a proper rideout if nobody broke down!)

A quick stop in Wells- Gary, Gerry and Steve W were waiting for us there, then onto Cheddar, for the customary ride up and down the Gorge, tooting all the horns. (Apologies to all non- mod scooter guys!)

After some snacks and a visit to the pub, we eventually set off homeward bound, only for Graham's scoot to cut out after 3 yards - I think that must be a record for the shortest ride before someone conking out! And a bit further into the journey - they say things come in threes- Russ had a semi seizure on the steep hill on the A38 between Churchill and Bristol Airport- Great!! Still, all Ok in the end, with Russ bump starting his scoot down the hill, on the pavement- the things we do in the name of pleasure!!

Still, a good time was had by all, and it was great to see all the other guys, a really good turn out! Thanx Neet- same again next year!
