Lovely ride, great to see so many long lost but not forgotten faces -Lewis, Paula, etc
Sorry I , missed the boat trip and the ride home. Look forward to next leisure ride
THANK YOU!!!
There was a whopping 13 riders out yesterday, which can only be explained by 2 words: boat ride. Too bad not all of us partook, but the Q to Q ferry runs all year long. Thanks to Colin for leading this ride, as it was scenic and flat with minimal stops, if you ignore the 2 hour lunch and two flats. What other surprises do future rides hold? Plane rides? Space X flight? Move over, Bezos, I’m keeping my passport valid for just those reasons.
