The absence of PtD\u2019s assertive leadership lead to an outbreak of road rage. Eric however was  keen to keep the faith and accompany, MTB only, 3 sheds and arrived suitably hardtailed and able to go both ways. But it was raining so no off road team tonight.<br \/>\nThe true roadies were lead by Coley on his tongue and toothbrush clean vintage steed, all Campag and contrasting mongrammes. Mr I was riding a \u201creal racer\u201d on loan from Stunt and Eric was pedaling as fast as he could to keep up with the smoothies.<br \/>\nSo what happened \u2013 well we rode our bikes round lots of lanes and ended up at the Legh Arms in Prestbury.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maccaustinsorguk\/14025203928\/in\/set-72157644672818186\/player\/\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nEnthusiasm to stay on the Belgian theme rather waned at the prices of the \u201ccraft lagers\u201d which reflected those of the local property. The Robinson\u2019s proved better value as did the food with the Gammon getting a very reasonable verdict. The conversation was focused on kit requirements for a self-sufficient and wet few days abroad. El Pres volunteered for a bag inspection and passed with flying colours, possibly even to the point of being over trouser\u2019d.<br \/>\nThe arrival of El Pud, long lost and fresh from the rejuvenating sights of the Capital returned the conversation to the base level but only after tales of carbon and steel incompatibility.<br \/>\nWhilst it was by no means a conventional TNR, Slim was heard to giggle late into the evening and after a particularly ribald repost from someone, \u2013 \u201cthis is turning into a real Thursday night\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words by Eric, Pics by Pete Crew; El Pres, Butty, Stunt, Slim; all Crossed, Coley, Mr I; full lycra, Eric keeping the faith with some nobbles In the pub; Dunc, El Jellied Eels.?
