Saturday 12th. City partners ride

Rubberjaws and Mrs Jaws cycled over to Poms on Kilmore for the meeting of the group.  We arrived shortlly after Phatboy and his darling.  The Cook and the Intern had beaten them by seconds.  A drink or 2 ensued.  Silverfox and Mrs Fox arrived although Mrs Fox was only doing the first and last stops. Tinkerbell and Miss Tinks were next before Dozer and Mrs Dozer arrived all ready for action.  A bit of small talk and then we were off.  Phatboy imediately headed in the wrong direction but we got him under control.  We headed down Fitzgerald Ave towards Bealey turning left around the river.  Followed this back around towards the Fire station and then along the river to the old band rotunda.  A few false turns as road works and fences caused a few small issues.  Eventually rode past Margeret Mahy playground and into Victoria Square.  Down Armagh into new Regent past even more fences, then left into gloucester, left into Manchester and left into Peterborough.  Over Colombo before reversing and stopping at Mama Hooches.  A nice wee bar with a great selection of things to drink.  As we left there were oohs and aahs about the dog and a couple of photos.  Down Kilmore into Victoria St then a left and right and left and across to Hagley park.  A loop around here with a pit stop to empty some fluids before popping out the back of the hospital by the Curaters House.  Down to the museum and then down Worscester Boulevard and left into cambridge.  The idea was to stop at johnny sausage but ended up at Whit Bar.  Quite sterile place.  Mrs Jaws popped home for a break.  The rest of us then headed down Worcester to the Square then down High St, right up Cashel to restart and then down Lichfield to High St before riding past the Moores Place and around the block to Dux central.  Drinks and nibbles were then taken here.  The last official stop.  Mrs Fox and Mrs Jaws both returned to the fray.  People headed home with Rubberjaws and Mrs Jaws, The Cook and the Intern heading back to Poms where we all dined.  Phatboy reappeared after his family dinner and more drinking continued.  Eventually we arrived back at the Mancave for some laughs and a jolt from the earth.  From here we all headed home before the witching hour.  A great ride if I do say so myself.  I feel we need to do more family gatherings perhaps someone will host a pot luck dinner.  Food for thought!!
