Write Up 29th October 2017 Wye Valley & Forrest of Dean Autumn Colours Run

[Nodzed]

Well this was how it all started (see pics below) A fantastic get together arranged by our own @Mrs Mint, thank you Pauline for arranging the pre-cruise meal and all the hassle that goes with it, you are a star xx

The cruise, well it was a great day, the weather held out (sort of) the leaves played their part and there wasn't to many cyclists on the road
Great to see some new faces on the Wye Valley cruise @Roalfie @Lazzzydog @TaffDaddy @colb @Dalek @Mr C and passengers (sorry if I have missed anyone) plus all the usual culprits that would turn up to the opening of an envelope

Just a few mentions of extra thanks
My sis Sandra and partner Mick that led Group 1, it was her first and she was terrified, she did a sterling job xx
Gary @mid life crisis and Anne for leading Group 2 (your turn for a cruise next mate)
Steve @Low Rider Steve @Bozzy and Dave @Mint for being sweepers Many thanks

I will email both the Anchor and the George (Sue & Christina) our thanks (I think the lunch went down well)

Footnote:
Its not the organisers that make a good run out its the people that travel to, then take part, then travel home again that makes the day so great, soooo a huge thanks to all that came and supported the day THANK YOU

Niall

Great night last night , but wake most of the night as an selfish wedding guest decided to have a crafty cigarette in their room setting off fire alarm at 2.50am ( new time ) but having breakfast now and looking forward to a great day thanks to the organising of @Nodzed ( my favourite Welsh person) x
