Ride report Wed evening, 15 May – Lone Mole leaves the burrow

I wasn’t expecting to see anyone at the garage as I rode up Eastwick Road at 7.30pm, my forum post eliciting a sole response from Kev telling me that it would be ‘Dark side only’ for him.  It was clearly an omen that he ended up stuck on the M25, and I don’t think managed to get a ride in … Read the rest…
