Bugs arrived promptly at 6 and as we were setting off we get word that Abba is on his way. We waited by the footbridge and saw him riding down the street, bottle of beer in hand. At least he put it in someones recycling bin. We set off on the road ride (due to the bum hand), down thru Waltham, then the Poly tech, up High St and thru the Square. Not much to look at really and very few people about. Past the Arts centre and then a figure 8 of North and South Hagley Park. Pretty quick blast round here except when we got the head wind. The basket of the 3 speed was like a sail. Round the river we went, Abba causing an Asian girl to jump out of his way into my path, I swerved just in time to allow Bugs to run over her. (He actually missed her just). Over the Bridge of Remembrance where we tried to run down a bus load of Asians. Round the river and lo and behold what do we see. pomeroys. We stopped for a quick drink which became 2. Chatted with the owner about sponsorship. We may get some shirts yet. Also said our farewells to Skye who is returning home to Canada. Abba chatted about his favourite shower styles and we discussed normal everyday human behaviours. Sick puppies we ride with. The word is that Bugs will host drinks at his place on New Years Eve. Bring you spa clothes if you wear them.
Merry Xmas to one and all.
