AVP Red Arrows Evening Ride

9 Pedallers taxied out of the Kings Arms last night for the 6.30 Thursday evening road ride.


Our destination was Lyme Regis to watch the 9 Red Arrow peloton make smoke trails in the sky. Last year the ‘South West Nemesis’ grounded the flyers but last night, despite some ominous looking clouds, they provided us with a full display, with even a rogue seagull giving them a lead out!



After the display, a diamond 9 of Pedallers, Clive, Rex, Steve, Bobble, Ed, Mark, Dawn, Barry and I navigated through the departing crowds out of Lyme and on to Uplyme. Here Mark & Dawn peeled off while the peloton rode on to Chez Barry for coffee and cake in a repeat last week’s mid ride stop for refreshments .. I think Steve volunteered to put on next week’s feed station!

Checking out Barry's new bike .. what a size!

Leaving Barry to clear up, the remaining 6 sprinted the return route back to Seaton in a vane attempt to burn off the cake calories to make way for the beer & chips which awaited us back at the Kings Arms!
