An "interesting" MEWBS outing this morning.
When I eventually rolled up to Spa, almost 2 minutes late, the peloton of DL, Huggy, the BFC, Bobb, the Hustler and ( in a rare outdoor outing) OD were all raring to go.
Tippers had called in sick having developed a rare wind allergy. We wish him a speedy recovery.
With the wind it was probably colder than we had expected. Nevertheless, still great weather for January.
We had a trundle around familiar lanes whilst discussing our usual highbrow matters. In fact I was engrossed in an in depth discussion with OD about elephant bikes when I decided to treat everyone to one of my bike/swimming interfaces. This time it was a large pothole hidden in a large puddle that caught me. Before I knew it I was over the handlebars lying in a soaked heap. It seems that fixed bikes have an ejector seat function that I wasn't aware of
Sometimes one fall isn't enough to entertain a difficult crowd. I threw another in for good measure, this time while static just after getting back on. I blame being cold and wet.
Entertainment over, it was off to our usual MEWBS dispensary for breakfast and Essex Energy Drinks (except OD who is being healthy and had a tofu sausage and nettle tea or something).
