Tuesday 15th April

Tinkerbell sent a text out to meet at Phatboys for a town ride as the weather looked bleak. Bugs arrived to find Dozer waiting, then The Cook arrived, Phatboy came out into the drizzle and Tinkerbell arrived. 1st Night ride for us all. Headed around the river working our way towards Hagley Park. Arrived at the Armagh St entrance. Turned right and did one complete lap of North and South Hagley. Arrived back at Armagh St entrance with about a minute between the 1st and last guy. Lap two, same order, same loop, about 14-15 minute lap. Thought the runners were saluting us but really they were blinded by our lights. After a bit of texting Phatboy decided to head home while the rest of us did a 1/2 lap and finished at Oxford Terrace. Followed the river though town working our way towards Pomeroy's. Stopped for a nice pint, crackling and Chips. Then back on the bikes and Dozer headed for home, Tinkerbell headed to Phatboys, Bug's and The Cook headed down Linwood Ave towards Home. Nice 1st night ride with a little drizzle. Home by 8.30.

Meanwhilst, at 6.30 ish, the Mellon Pharmacist took his pooch out to Bottle Lake and spun around there under lights with him...  After a stop over at Parkland's Fresh Choice for some beverage purchase, he too was home not long after 8.30

And the following night, without dog, Nelsie and Mellonpharmer went out there again, this time doing a larger, but faster, loop.
