What a turn out !!!!

Fine and dry weather

The "Real mates" turn out in force to make it a lucky 13…but disappear before beer

No Palmer Boy  (half term) but ...his stunt double gets even more like CP by getting the beer in

Pete loses all disc bolts on charity lane descent & knackers the hub (see pic)….Eric, Luc and Alex all donate a couple to get him back on the trail. Teamwork , eh ? ad

Maypole and TT's Landlord at the Smivvy go down well
