In the 3.5 years since moving to Chester, I have never punctured once, but this time I punctured and wasted 2 further tubes trying manically to fix it. Zrfh!!<br /><br />The "support crew" were marvellous - Dave H, Dave Pipe and Clive ... doggedly persistent and very patient. I was just so upset that I had made them very late for lunch and made them miss out on all of the other festivities and frivolities that this very special ride presented.<br /><br />In the end, I had to call for my wife's broom wagon to come out and collect me. But I was reminded of the CER Club's excellent ethic by Dave Pipe, who said: "You don't come out on many Club runs, do you? (Sadly, I don't.) In this Club, no one ever gets left behind." What a lovely ethic that is and a true embodiment of what CER is all about.<br /><br />I was so disappointed not to have completed the day's miles and enjoy the camaraderie, the company and the conversation. <br /><br />But hopefully there will be many more rides to come as CER moves into its second decade with lots more stories to air and loads more laughter to share.<br /><br />Bryan, you a true gent, a one-off and I think everyone agrees that CER is everything you hoped and wanted it to be - a great Club, with great people, who simply look out for each other ... as Steve Tan will testify.<br /><br />Long may the Club continue and shine ever brightly as we all look forward to and share in the future.<br /><br />'Cos in this Club, no one ever gets left behind...jonbvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477783761237238213noreply@blogger.com
