Another short run out to the Meldrews meeting at the Blue & White Cafe at Smeeth. As expected after a lay off and the weather turning very autumnal (and wet) during the week, Pepe refused to start once the dials had done their flicker to check there was a semblance of battery power left.
Out came the dbPower unit and it was "boost-time". I had charged it but since its last use it was only down to 98%! It took a few goes to get the big-boy running and I left him in the garage ticking over as I got my gear on. It was a little chilly but once started he runs perfectly.
In the end there were five of us there for an assortment of breakfast and bacon sandwiches. I decided to ride a longer way home via New Romney to give the bike a few miles under the tyres. Once outside the cafe of course it was boost-time and then we were off. Down the A20, then Bad Munstereffel Way and home via Brenzett and the wide open roads across the edge of the marsh.
Not a bad ride and my jacket and gloves made sure I wasn't too cold.
