Chaps & Chappesses,

8 riders made this cracking 18 mile run on Saturday. 2 Dahons, 2 Bromptons, 1 Pashley Micro, 1 Moulton 'F-type', 1 New Street & my GoBike. Thanks for a great day. :roflmao:
A huge apology for the terrible hue of the photos (I've broken the screen on my digi-camera so I have little control over the settings!
Here is a PDF of my report (http://www.long-john.com/smallwheels0106.pdf)

Hi Chop,

That certainly looked like a great day! :)

Even though I live in Swindon, and have both a Twenty and a Brompton, I have never been on one of these rides. I should really go on one, one day...

Your report has given me a bit more incentive.

And there I was, going to drop a hint to Litle Pixel, that all that was missing was a Twenty!

At least he is trying to make the Swindonians feel at home, with his accent! ;)
Though, I think it should be more,"Burt Swindern be long whey from Lundern..." :D :D ...Sorry Pixel! :o

Is it still held on the last Saturday of every month?

PS. I could even take my Twenty, if you like?

3rd Saturday actually, and as for Little Pixel, I suppose you think Swindon's in Wales then? Our train got diverted via Gloucester for engineering works. Almost missed the ride departure time!

The whole town of Swindon was built entirely as a staging post for trains running from london to wales so I guess it's half-way... So where are all the london-centric small-wheel rides? :)

Start a London area ride yourself, stick something on my A to Z and let The folding Society know (Velovision too) it only takes one person to get the ball rolling :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :lol:
