Only three Wheelers competed, together with six private entries, but what a night!. In what turned out to be ideal conditions there were some stunning times.

Not sure what to expect on my ride to the start. How many would be wanting to do 62 miles today? I was surprised at the turn out of twenty-one, a melange from all club ride groups. It did soon become clear that the majority had shorter ride ambitions. However, all agreed to follow the pre-audax audax route as far as Mill Green Tea Room, some 50km from Ware.

Well this was a ride and a half. First half of the ride went well, except when Peter Eldon decided to have a puncture. Peter was trying to be a martyr by telling us all to go on, whilst he fixes the puncture. No one gets left behind on my watch! We helped poor old Peter fix the puncture as he was all thumbs, and we went on our merry way. All went well. We got to Thremhall Park, the service was a little slow, but the food was lovely as ever.

Extinction Rebellion is over. What did we learn? First, club activities probably qualify for some form of green accreditation - all those emission free miles. Smug virtue signalling all round. Could we do more? - enforcing a rule on riding to the start! Secondly, they demonstrated the multifarious uses of superglue. So, if you arrive at the cafe and have forgotten your lock? No problem - just glue your bike to a nearby wall while you refuel.

Only 3 Wheelers plus one guest tonight on this difficult course.

The bank holiday weekend meant that the 'Wings' café at North Weald airfield were doing some much needed refurbishment. Knowing that the village café at Hatfield Heath have catered for us before on Easter Sunday, I booked us a table there. The café was unusually quiet, quiet in the number of customers not in noise level, although lacking the two motor mouths who were asked to keep it down a couple of years ago on the same Easter Sunday. We were in fact quiet in noise level too.

There needs to be an escape from the news at the moment - all that disunity and name calling, tempers flaring and relationships straining...the spat between the Cambridges and Sussexes has certainly grabbed my attention, and I am deeply concerned about the consequences. Real doom and gloom.
