note to cliveo,
on both of the jersey rides I've been on, everything's been roses until we get to chelsea, not sure whether it's the over officious security guards, with no sense of humour, or the nouveau riche tone being set by the billionaire owner and location. But once again Chelsea proved to be a humourless stop on the journey to jobsworthness.
Told to get off our bikes and not ride them, fair enough, then told we couldn't walk our bikes from one gate to the other, because there was a no bike policy. Ride on road to other gate, first guard has informed second guard of our arrival, told we can't walk our bikes to get our photo taken in front of stand, and then had to remove ourselves because we were getting stroppy, getting stroppy involved ramaye trying to have a conversation with 2nd security guard, who was having none of it, and just continued to parrot the same statement over and over.
Got to say until there's some sort of change in attitude, Chelsea's got to be relegated from the jersey ride. It's a sunday for fuckssake, we're in, we take a photo we're out. We will endanger no one, and not be leary...
Apart from that, great day, the list of bedwetters is so long, it stretches to stamford bridge. Good to see the true fans out on their bikes. Great weather, nice company, good quick bits. And the tour at the end, Go On! CAV!!!
Good times..
