Pancake Run - Feb 17th.

Well, we got 23 bikes at the start. 22 after a while (Bigus Mickus had another engagement and shot off into the distance). The route was good, the weather was fine (if a bit cold for the passengers) and the run was fun.
Lunch was taken at the Strines Inn - we ate outside but it was cold. We lost a 4 bikes at this point due to prior commitments. The rest of us carried on.

We had one snapped clutch cable - Gary went straight home rather than enjoy Normas pancakes - the rest of us ended up at Syke and had warming cups of tea and coffee with the pancakes.

Anyway, lots of kudos to Gary for organising a good run on nice roads. And thanks to everyone who turned up. So, some pictures to keep you amused. From myself and Malcolm's cameras.
