Colin's Ride

Postby Jim » Sun Aug 09, 2015 6:00 pm

Excellent turn out for our ride to Wells and Glastonbury today in memory of our old chum Colin. Good to see Mike Pick joining us on his trusty SX, which is still looking really good!

The route we took from the Arnolfini to Wells can only be described as epic, venturing down roads which some of the guys didn't know even existed! Some thought they were on a mystery tour, and although it wasn't the most obvious way of getting to Wells, it was good to get away from the main roads and out into the countryside! ( I would call it 'scenic!' )

We then rode on to Glastonbury to check out the hippies - far out man!

Parked up for refreshments at Glastonbury.

Many thanks to all who took part today in remembering Colin and making it another enjoyable day, with no breakdowns to report! ( Phew! ) We'll be doing the same again next year, so watch out for it being featured in our 2016 diary! (Gawd, it will be Christmas before you know it! )

Take care and ride safe, and I hope to see you all again soon!

Yep, what a great day :riding:

As those that attended this ride are aware, we were photographed by a local journalist as we were leaving Wells (who just happened to be covering another story at the time) He told me that it will be featured in the September edition of a magazine titled: `Mendip Times` (yes, we`ve hit the big time!) which can be accessed on line: http://www.mendiptimes.co.uk. He also plans to include a brief write up mentioning our old mate Colin

The September edition will be available online from 25 August

Nice one Jim. Fantastic riding missing that squirrel, and as Ian said " good company".
