2012-08-19 - Herne Bay - A Fixed-Wheel Joint

I've tried that before, Colin, and it didn't work because unknown to me the ride had two punctures before it even left London. I waited for quite a while and left; they must have swooped through literally minutes after I gave up waiting. Chances are that they're just delayed somewhere.

After a bit of hanging around including a breakfast stop I eventually met up with the ride just before Sittingbourne. Luckily Chainbreaker was updating the thread so I had a rough idea of the bunch's progress.
A great ride with some stunning scenery, a glorious sunset, beer and pizza (thanks CB), Reculver Towers, slaloming through the holiday makers, their kids and dogs along the seafront, great company, groupsave goodness on the train and much more besides. In fact the only downside to the day was ending up in the same carriage as the world's most annoying kid. "How much was your bike mister, how much were your shoes, how did you get those little pedals on mister, can I try your hat on, etc. ad nauseum..."
