What bike did you ride today?

-
Looks like a great day from coast to coast, morning to night, rides big and small.

I took the 41 down the canal to downtown Gilbert. It’s quite a scene change from the funky industrial parks the canal rolls past to get there. Tons of people and some on bikes. Hung out watching the guy making cornbread in the window at LoLo’s Chicken and Waffles and saw a bike with a strap on 2 cycle motor (BikeBerry?).

Caught a nice pic of the set at the tracks on the way there.

Out on the '53 BSA yesterday, 30 miles on a new route with the Oxford V-CC section.
Crazy day, lovely riding up hill and down dale, also included visiting some lovely villages, history and architecture lectures and regular quizzes. Started with homemade tea and cakes, and ended the same way. Not our usual type of ride at all, but really fun.

Another 25 miles on the 'Cycles Morot' today.
Cycled over to the nearby town of Abingdon - on - Thames today for their annual cycling festival.

Rode in the Vintage parade. Great to see some youngsters taking part, this lad is pretty proud of his '30's BSA.....

.....and rightly so! Lovely, original paint machine, his whole family were on old 'beezers'.
We also happened upon an event celebrating the founding of the 'Upper Thames Patrol', the WW2 section of the U.K. Home Guard, responsible for protecting the River Thames against a German invasion. Some great old military vehicles were on display, my personal favourite was this little beauty.....

In the background display I spotted this. Sound advice and information if you've got a
war era machine.....
