Pictures from my VMCC morning meeting. There are too many to start adding 6 at a time to separate, (seperate?) posts so here is a link to my Dropbox account:

It appears you section is still doing well, mine is currently struggling. after a good start with nearly 30 bikes at our first Sunday run and reasonable numbers on Tuesday nights we are down to less then 10 on Tuesdays and the last Sunday run had 4. Not sure if its the fuel price or what is going on  *sad2*

It's a sad day if people won't spend ten quid for petrol for a run out with friends in lovely Summer weather.
Maybe time for them to move the old bike(s) on. :!.

I wonder if like me, the pandemic forced a break of habits regarding biking that has not returned.

My ride to the VMCC meeting was only 8 miles from home, through countryside. It was lovely to have fresh air blowing up the sleeves of my leather bike jacket.

I'm trying to get your comment. Is it referring to the hand dryers?
