My first proper CMA ride out.. the charity run from Anstey to the Victoria bikers pub in Coalville. Met up at the Nook then church service in Anstey. It was really good. Especially the donkey. Was a bit nervous when we made it back to the car park. Ian was saying I wasn't comfortable with doing the second man marshaling, while I was stood right behind him. So I had a moment of bravery and said I'd do it. Lots of prayer then, asking to not let me screw it up. Typically I was faffing, so nearly missed the start.. sneaked round the outside. Was all good though. Ride was really slow, but I don't mind that! And I did my pointing left part ok, was v happy to see Uncle Terry at the back, who let me back into the long snake of bikes.
Did regret lending Ian the loudhailer from school, when he sneaked up behind me, put it right in my ear, then hit the siren. I pretend kicked him. He deserved actual contact. Was great to chat to people (well, mostly I listen) and a nice bacon butty too. Colin commented that I was definitely getting the hang of this!
Home now, sorting out car booty (fear Animal hoody way too big) and chilling out to Grandad's old Bing Crosby records. Time for a read in the sun now. Chris Evan's second installment.
