The Severn Bridge should have been awesome. Gladis' first crossing of this amazing structure. It was, however, hilarious and scary. Far from seeing a magnificent view.. I couldn't even see Wales!!! I really hope the fog had cleared by the time all the Harleys came over it later.. that being the whole point of the event!
Got lucky making it into Chepstow ok, and got lucky asking where to go, and got lucky recognising the CMA tent. Glad I had bathed Gladis when I was told to park her next to our stand. Scary moment trying to get her up the kerb with everyone watching.
Shocked to see Mike there. He is a well travelled young man. Still, think he was suprised to see me too. Lovely bloke, but then I like anyone who feeds me bacon butties on a Sunday morning!
My time on the stand was hilarious. The old gent Pete who was there had a knack for picking those people that lived in Chepstow for his attempts to hand out our map with the line 'do you know Chepstow?' Still it made me laugh, and made me brave enough to try to hand out some, and to talk to a few people. Very satisfying when someone takes a bible, or an interest.
Only a few of the bikes came past us...
Go brave girl!
So proud of Gladis amongst the other CMA rides..
Not exactly rushed off my feet in the helmet park in the church later, but good to meet CMA people. Failed miserably to find the geocache just outside the church, so had a small wander back up to the gate I'd ridden through earlier to find the one there. Social skills failed me at the end, they all went for a meal, I got left to ride home. Directional skills also failed me. Several miles before checking the phone map and pulling a U-ey.
Great evening in with Emsy.. take out (how dare the chippy be shut!!) and American Werewolf in London on lovefilm. Just as good as we remembered! Head on the bonnet still the standout moment hehe
