I've been riding to work and back this past week, but in the dark my phone camera isn't too good so I've not bothered taking any photos.
Out on another V-CC ride yesterday, during daylight.
A cold (2 degrees Celsius) day, but this was our annual 'mince pie ride', postponed from a couple of weeks ago due to snow & ice, so some very nice machines were being ridden. A 15 mile jaunt through the Vale of the White Horse, with a great pub lunch in the middle.
I was out on my Rochester, but you don't need to see that again so I didn't bother with any photos of it.
Here then is a selection of some of the bicycles being ridden.

1890s Howe 'Path Racer'.....

Some really special machines were out being ridden, not least this William Morris ( local boy done good - later started Morris Garages, from whence MG cars get their name). One of only 3 known examples.....

Absolutely stunning 1901 Raleigh Cross Frame. This has original twist-grip brakes with internally sprung handlebars.....

The centre section remains rigid, the outer 6 inches either side rotate on the internal springing, giving approx. 1 inch of travel.
Superb engineering, can you spot the joint.....

That's a genuine Raleigh mascot of Sir Walter atop the handlebars too.

Miserable day, but a fun ride.....
