An email invitation to this event prompted us to see what it was like. The start was at the clubhouse with signing on between 9 & 10am and as the clubhouse is only a 15 minute drive from home we didn't have to be up too early.
We arrived just after nine and parked up with the other early arrivals in the lovely grounds of this fine clubhouse.

As number 16 our start time was 10.16 so we had plenty of time for meeting old and new friends.
The run was 55 miles over some great roads and the weather was scorching. It was the first time this year that I was driving in shirt sleeves. I wish they had been short sleeves as I was roasting most of the day. Somebody in the club must have some serious influence with the weather gods!
Old Numbum handled the day with ease, apart from a slight misfire when we stated up after stopping for a cuppa. The heat soak from the hot engine caused a bit of vapour lock in the carbs but it didn't last long.
We arrived back at the clubhouse just after two and the barbeque was up & running for those who wanted to partake of a burger or sausage. After a bit more chinwagging it was time to head for the short trip home.
All in all, a great day and our thanks go to all who made it happen.
