I've been out riding regularly recently but keep neglecting to post pictures, so I hope people can forgive me for posting them all today.
Out on the 'Minaco I' for 30 miles onTuesday, temporarily fitted with "porteur' bars; pictured near Blewburton Hill, Blewbury.....
...'Inconnu' pictured near the circa 1810 toll House in Dorchester on Thames on Wednesday, a 22 mile short V-CC ride in the early evening.....
...out on the 'Minaco I' again on Saturday, with 'drops' refitted. 54 miles to and from and on another V-CC group ride.
Pictured on Shillingford Bridge in the morning on my way to the start. It looks like a beautiful day (and it was) but it was only 1° Celsius at this point.....
...at my favourite coffee stop in Abingdon's Market Square, with the market just starting.....
...at the official start, one of the restored 'shepherd's hut" wagons on my friend's farm.....
...some of the lovely bikes out riding with us.....
...I particularly liked Mike's pre WW1 'Imperial Triumph' Semi-Racer model.
It features a 56 tooth chainring, a seatpost with integral detachable 'Lucas' oiler and a 'Rolex' stopwatch mounted on the bars, amongst other goodies.....
...thankfully the temperature had risen to 17° Celsius in the afternoon and with no wind it made for a great ride in wonderful company.
