Ahoy Polar explorers

The pig sets sail for the Antarctic
Inspired by Scot's note book found on his body last Monday
Penguins not Polar Bears for us though

so fill your bottles " we may be gone for some time "

we are heading in the summer for the best of the weather

09.30 , 45 - 50 miles, 16 -17 mph

White shoes and socks are the thing. Sun glasses to stop the solar glare.
First to see a Penguin is the King

    7 Billion years in the making
    formed by parts of stars breaking

    Pirates live by wit and soul
    To sail the Pig makes them feel whole

    So throw all your cares away
    They can wait until another day

    Pirate set sail at 09.30

    Will grab an old blue bike and join you for part or all of the ride, if that's ok. Look forward to it.

    Large crew of 14 filled the Pig
    Good route to Ampthill and sharpenhoe on a fine sunny day
    50 miles at 16.7mph
    A few splits due to junctions and size of group but mainly ok

    Let's hope more fine weather to come
    Next week
    The meaning of life, the universe and everything
    Stay tuned

    Thanks for a very pleasant ride, think the splits were inevitable given the size of the group and busy roads but all home safely. Very kind to pass my abode so i could peel off for those extra brownie points,i would only have come 2nd in the sprint anyway

    Thanks to James for organising it and thanks to all for making it a great ride. Distance and speed were as advertised - ideal for riding the retro Gios from the 1970s.

    Look forward to seeing you all next time,

    Rupert
