Meldrews' Sunday - August 20th

Today was Suzi Triplo day to go out on a ride. As she hadn't been started for a few weeks it took a few stabs on the kickstart to get her started.

Once on the road following Cal it seemed like she was unwilling to pull that easily. A little sluggish.

We made it to Jo's and sat outside in the sun. Today there were five of us to enjoy a chat and a breakfast.

Around noon we all set off for different rides around the area and home.

My first stop was at the old church on Romney Marsh - Thomas Becket at Brookland.  The church and surrounding fields has been in several TV programmes and movies. Usually something by Dickens. 

I turned around on the lane to get a good view of it in the background.

From there it was head had to the A259 and home. Some roads are a little gravelly in the centre, some muddy and some in cow🐄 exhaust..... 😉

I managed to avoid any of the latter. 

As I arrived in New Romney and filtered to the front of traffic waiting at a red light for road works, I came up behind a pair of Harleys. The Sportster of maybe 2005 vintage ridden by a woman. She had a nice jacket with the usual HD badge. I trailed behind them until almost home. 

Suzi still seemed a little sluggish to accelerate bit cruised easily at 50 to 60mph.

Another short ride out and hopefully put some leccy into the battery for next time.
