Double up to Burnham 30

Out this morning with Geoff, another Old Git, retracing yesterday's route down to Burnham.  Several Old Gits are 'training' for some events next summer and the plan is to do some extra-curricular activities occasionally to build up the leg muscles.  This was one of them but only two of us made it.  We did the same trip as yesterday, that way the roads are quiet and there is more chance of having a decent chat.

The Bikes are Back

Nothing much to photograph on the ride, but diverted slightly at the end to capture the fact that the annual Beach Bike Race is in town.  An annual event, it is over the next couple of days and involves moto cross motorcycles and quad bikes racing the length of the beach over prepared hills and jumps. Tried to ride back along the promenade but it was full of official vans, vendors and bikes waiting to register for the event.

Get over it!

One of the manufactured 'hills'.  Carefully sculpted by a team of bulldozers and excavators, these are waiting for the big off in the morning.  Built of loose sand, they soon get wrecked and the machinery moves in at night to reconstruct them.  There are three this size, or bigger, and numerous smaller ones dotted around the course.  Good fun to watch.

A good day out, decent weather, refs at the Bay View Cafe and another 30 miles makes the 100 for the week.
