"B" Group Ride Wed 25 June 08

Ian has asked me to blog this:

I would like to record for the Blog please that I and I am sure the rest of the "B" riders had a super day today. we rode a few hills and were then taken to a fantastic mansion for an excellent lunch,beer,wine and a dip in the swimming pool. Many thanks to Bernard.

As the editor of Sou'Wester, I would like to add my congratulations to Bernard for being so generous in his invitation. I was not aware of the invitation, though I am told it was on the Blog. (been away for a week with Barbara and missed it). Personally as it happened I would have welcomed a shorter ride today than the excellent "A" ride by Pete Barnard, simply because having joined the KPRC today, I rode the ten mile Vet standard TT. I am doubly ashamed to say that I was beaten 4 secs by Toni De. He also did the long "A" ride and ended up with a 29min. 18sec time, which puts him so superior to me as he is 2yrs older. Toni however does not take it serious like me which probably means he is not so competitive. I will get him soon but I also have to beat him on standard which is probably by 30secs? Toni watch out there's a sniper about! Meanwhile I congratulate my elders whom I have much respect for.

P.S. to Pete Mitchell, this latter tripe should really be on the KPRC Blog, you have my permission to transcribe it if you think it merits anything. To me its just friendly rivalry and engenders a good club spirit.
