MONDAY RIDE
Basically the day for packing to go home but not before there was a well organised freewheeling exercise this was won by the Rice |Man John Slinger on his Ambrosia purchased from the Eric Lear Collection. Paul Reid gave an exhibition of mounting and dismounting an 1880 English Ordinary, followed by a demonstration of a bicycle which when pedalled forwards or backwards the cycle still drove forwards. One or two others had to have a go, my wife was duly invited to mount an Ordinary and being of an adventurous nature accepted.
