23/4 BBR- St George's day

The Knights and Dames did a damn good job on the St.George's day BBR on a pretty chilly day. Duncan led the ride with Andy "shove over will you" Coulter doing a fine job as back stop. Duncan was his usual somewhat staccato self in his quest to take Strava segments off Neil Smith, but managed to settle down later, mainly due to being knackered. Peter Brehme goes from strength to strength and Derek Millgate put in a very respectable time up Boreham Hill. Sue Landy and her daughter added to the mix, it's lovely when families come along. The bluebells are still in abundance especially at the bottom of Tilley Lane. We were joined by some non regulars. The highlight of the ride for me was one of the younger guys sprinting off away from me across the marsh. Considering I was doing about 25mph at that point it was most impressive. Chilley Farm stop was fun and the source of Andy C's traits became clear when he revealed he comes from Southport, so in my book he is a posh Scouser. We won't however hold it too much against him as it turns out he is actually a damn decent bloke, it just takes a while to realize it.
