Easy riders Wednesday 26th September - Weybridge

Sunny days, blue skies, ice-creams. (Or the story of Ron's bell)

If you see Ron on his maroon AW Cycles machine please take note of the historic artefact attached to his handlebars.  If you are a radio listener you may have heard Ron demonstrating the mouth-watering tinkle of the ice-cream vendor's bell across the airways of the UK last week.  His bicycle bell was once attached to an ice-cream cycle cart that sold ice-creams on Wimbledon Common.  The bell broke and Ron's mate paid out 7/6 for a new one giving the old one to Ron which he duly mended and has used on his bicycle ever since.  Ron's voice has also been heard across the loud speaker system in Sainsbury's at North Cheam reciting The Listeners by Walter de la Mare but that's another story....      

For those interested in the ride, there were four takers, two were lost temporarily on Penny Lane (later retrieved), lunch at the Flower Pot was very good.  The rain did enhance the autumnal colouring in Bushy Park.  Thanks for an entertaining day as always with the easy riders, Brian, Malcolm, Ron and Cliff (watch that man as he now has enough for a cheap weekend in Paris).
