6 brave souls set sail from the port of Brackla this morning. Aboard HMS Amblers were Captain Ben, First mate Tom, Chef Mike, Warrant Officer Ross, Cheif petty officer Paul and a new Sea cadet Ben. It drizzled, it belted down, it poured, it pelted it even came down in stair rods. But we left anyway along the Tuesday route with a view to stop at Cafe Velo as usual.
The ride was fairly uneventful Ben is quite a strong rider. Tom had his comfort breaks. Then just before turning to Flemingston we encountered a car. Paul braked to avoid it. Mine weren't working quite as well as needed due to them being wet so I had 3 choices.
Hit Paul.
Hit the car.
Hit the hedge.
I chose the hedge. I (shall we say) fell off. I don't remember much more from here onwards until coming down the stairs at Cafe Velo to a hot latte and some fruit toast. The way home after that is a little fuzzy. I know Paul rode with me. No idea what happened to the others... I have been to A&E I have concussion. My helmet is beyond b*g*erd it's split and cracked. I'm glad I was wearing it.
Thanks to Paul for getting me home. Thanks to the others for keeping an eye on me on the way home. Hope to see you soon. Ben it's not always this dramatic so don't worry and well see you out again?
