Well, I can honestly say my job can not get any better!Today I had organised a led ride from Green Park followed by a free BBQ lunch by the lake.
In the past we've always had trouble engaging both the employees of Green Park and the residents living in the surrounding area - so I wasn't too optimistic.
I arrived at 11:45 to see a gathering of around 9 riders and within 10 minutes this had grown to 20! It was a group of mixed abilities and we soon split them into 2 groups - faster and the not so fast! We promptly got underway at 12 noon, but was soon to be joined by a group of lads who had just finished their exams and wanted a blast on their bikes - and a free lunch! They were a great bunch and one even rode the 7 miles on his BMX and 2 brothers had borrowed the family tandem. It was just great to see all ages and all abilities getting on so well. So our raggedy peloton had reached a grand total of 30 and at the end of the ride we all tucked into a fantastic lunch by the lake - Thanks to Mike Brazell for the loan of bikes and the yummy food.
We'll be back.....!

It has to be said that Green Park always manages to pull off a good event for cyclists: last year I was lucky enough to go on the cycle-to-work ride from Reading station to Green Park and the free breakfast supplied courtesy of Pru Pim was truly magnificent.
