Thanks to all who turned up for the ride to meet the guys from the Ipswich group. Turned out my 36 mile route was a tad longer and actually took 1 3/4 hours but it included most if not all the road types that Essex has to offer and the punters seemed happy. I counted them out and they all got to the meet so I must have done something right oh and big thanks to Rex who performed an excellent sheep dog impersonation to keep them all on the straight and narrow! Particular mention to Simon Harris who managed to get his Bonny running in time to join us. He did spend a bit of time at the stop securing all sorts of things back on that had come loose during the ride though. Watch out Mr Back - he’s after your trophy methinks.

Cheers

Simon.
