Coming back from a very enjoyable, if not windy ride, by consent we tried out the new Buckingham Winslow cycle track. The track being silk smooth and downhill Mike and I were making excellent progress when a van going in the same direction as us started tooting,the driver then wound his window down and shouted . ' I think one of your mates is in trouble.' Retracing our route we found Keith engaged in repairing a puncture . When we informed Keith what had taken place he said he'd had no interaction with said driver?
Conclusions are: Wearing club kit certainly has it's merits.
As rider leader I had forgotten the golden rule of never losing sight of the last rider.
And finally, the actions of the hitherto unknown driver added something to our ride.
