Out on the custom '57 Raleigh this evening, 10 miles.
Took another detour along a footpath, had to walk it uphill to the marker post, ground too soft to ride on.....
We're all going to be using that great camera angle soon Pete!
Sat at the marker post for a good 20 minutes, watching a Hare, it eventually came within 15 feet of me but I didn't get my phone out to ruin the moment. You'll have to make do with this shot; zoom in and you'll see it.....
The downhill section from the top looked quite inviting through the wheat field.....
I was frustrated though by the deep tractor ruts every 30 feet, meaning a slower descent than I'd hoped for. The section through the bean field was a little better though.....
Eventually rejoined the road just over Cholsey Hill.....
Got home to find my friend Rob, struggling to start his '58 Lambretta, ready for our classic vehicle rally tomorrow.
He's been working on it all day. It's a ratrod speed machine, featuring a heavily modified 225 cc engine, it does over 90mph! Fast for a '50s Lambretta!
I parked the Raleigh, gave him a push start and helped him get it going! Sounds loud.....
Keep on riding!
