Duty calls: Being obliged to scrub in a new front tyre we had to sacrifice our evening and go for a night time ride. It's a tough life, but somebody's got to do it!

After finishing teaching my piano pupils for the evening David and I seized the moment to enjoy a warm(ish) and dry evening to take a steady ride to 'bed in' a new front tyre. As usual a ride became a trip out and a brew but we just can't seem to shake off the family. My daughter had sought a similar destination with a family friend as pillion and an impromptu party soon took over the evening. With all of the leathers, helmets, cameras, laptops and other assorted paraphernalia we soon took over a good portion of the chosen MacDonald's venue. Of course, we took the long way home… Oh yes - we know how to have a good time!
