If you look carfully just above the Brooks B17 you can see an old WW1 biplane on final approach. A Hurricane came later but I was on the road already
I am what they call an "Anglophile", here in the breakaway colonies.

Typically I ride with a group of like-minded souls called the "Gentleman Cyclists", who put on the Lake Pepin 3-Speed Tour, and the All British Cycling Event (ABCE, obviously). I've got to say, your photos here are an absolute delight during these crazy times. They confirm to us that history is not dead, and that you folks prevented greedheads from erecting condos over that hallowed ground. One of my dreams is to take a trip to England and cycle through some of your history, and take lots of photos along the way. Maybe someday...

Cheers, mate!
