Dorset Miles, Communication Breakdown!


The first Sunday in January always asks a few questions, How Much do you want it? the most pressing. Christmas sparkle has gone, the sun is in the southern hemisphere, someone has turned the lights out and they won’t come on again till March and it is cold. Eleven are up for it at Bear Cross, those that rode through the festive season sit smugly on the front; those that got distracted suffer in the wheels. “It’s my first ride for ten days” , “I’ve had a cold” gets little sympathy! Heading north from Wimborne Minster the conversation is brisk, just another typical day on the bike:
“CAR UP”, “STEADY”, “ON THE LEFT”, “WATCH THE GRAVEL”, “STEADY”, “ CAR DOWN”,”HOLES” “HORSES” “MORNING” “STEADY”, “PISS STOP” “IS IT OFFICIAL?” "LOOK, ITS THAT TANDEM TRIKE AGAIN"...... “CAR BACK” “SINGLE OUT LADS” “COMING THRU”, “OI ASSWIPE YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US!!”,......”STEADY”, “ON THE RIGHT”,”PUNCTURE”, “NO ITS OK, THOUGHT I HAD BOTTOMED OUT”,”STEADY”, “LEFT”, HOLES, “I’M FIVE BEATS OFF MY MAX!”, “IVE GOT A GEL IF YOU NEED ONE?” “STEADY”, “ SINGLE FILE”,”OIL”, “STEADY”, “YOU NEED TO GET SOME MUDGAURDS IF YOU ARE WANT TO COME OUT WITH US AGAIN”, “CHEERS LADS, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK”
