Peter Semler, Paul Smith, Andrew Overton, Steve Pullen, Derek Moyle, Chris Mason, I and 1 guest Steve Marchant headed out past Silverstone to boost our adrenaline with the sound of cars racing.

 

All was going well, I even managed to get through Tingewick without a puncture (my 1^st puncture on this bike was in Tingewick). At Gawcott I was planning to go cross country to Padbury, but my Garmin changed its mind since this morning and decided to take us through the centre of Buckingham. A bit more confusion led to us going on the A413 to Winslow rather than the village route, but on the upside, it was quicker.

 

A pleasant stop at the Jenny Wren cafe and we made a quick exit as Team MK arrived. At least I thought we made a quick exit. We headed out of the village on the A413 and turned right, to find we were 3 missing. We stopped, waited, waited some more, so I headed back to see the exocet shoot past back down the A413. Luckily, his 2 followers spotted me on the right turn and the exocet had to make a quick u-turn. It turned out Andrew’s chain had come off and got jammed, causing the delay.

After re-grouping, we headed North, but 1 rider’s knee was suffering so 2 of us slowed up and the other 5 carried on, never to be seen again (I hope you made it back home safely guys!).

 

1 more drop off on route and Andrew and I made it back to base, alone!

A very enjoyable ride, thanks to everyone!!
