Operation Old Rosie Cyle Ride
As you may know Shelagh Tasker is going to be cycling through Cambodia soon, so Ed suggested whe might want to get some practice in by coming on our regular Old Rosie Cycle ride, various emails went back and forth along the lines of:
Shelag: I haven’t got a bike.
Ed: you can go on the back of my tandem
Shelagh: I haven’t cycled that sort of distance before
Ed: You only need to do the outward half of the ride – catch the train to Swanwick, I will meet you on the tandem, you can get the Gosport ferry back home.
Now I work in Whiteley and cycle from Fareham to work, so I said to Ed “I will meet you at Swanwick station and cycle to your house with you and Shelagh”
Nothing ever goes exactly to plan, as I was cycling down the approach road to the station Ed texted me to say that Shelagh had missed her train and would be driving to his place. Later at Ed’s, Jo phoned to say that she had a puncture.
Eventually the gang was all assembled, a spare bike was loaned to Jo and we were off!
So what’s the deal with the photo then? I hear you ask. Well as you can see I wore my new Homer Simpson cycling jersey on the ride and it caused great hilarity when Jo spotted that it made me look like I had a couple of boobs in a rather odd position. Dare I wear it again on an IVC cycle ride?
