MALLE MILE 2021

 

Hard to know what to say about the Mile, not a bike rally, not a race meeting, but undoubtably the friendliest bike event i've ever been to. Lovely people all trying to organise a huge number of racers ( i believe nearly 600) take part in events running up to 3 hours behind schedule but somehow it all seems to work. Please though, get a bigger bar for next year....and more food stalls.  I will be coming back !

As i was competing (queuing) i didn't get much chance to take photos but there were almost as many photographers as bikes so i'm sure you will find loads on Instagram/FB etc over the coming week. 

Of the pics i did take this lady pretty much sums it up, she is one of many happy girls all helping out non stop and always with a big smile. When you're hot and have queued for ages and your bike won't start because you haven't plugged your lanyard in a smiley face in white overalls shows up asking if you are enjoying yourself, and suddenly you are.

I had intended on racing the sprint, hill climb and Malle 100 but after some over revving on the hill and subsequent misfiring i retired for the day to spectate (and queue for a beer).

LIFE'S A BEACH

 

 

 

What looks like it could be a warm summers day at the seaside is Scarborough midday yesterday, 2 degrees C (35 F) . 8 girls (Ellis second right) fortified with Amaretto and Baileys hot chocolate were about to run up to their necks in the sea for charity. They go to University and pay for tuition, materials, accommodation and travelling with large student loans then have to raise the money themselves for the end of year event to showcase their work. They also raised money for a local Hospice. Family and friends held towels, coats and alcohol while the local press couldn't be arsed to show up. There was some screaming.

BURLESQUE STAR IN OILY FROCK SHOCK

 You will probably know by now that last years successful Hotrod Hayride Drag Race meet at Dunsfold will not be repeated this year, apparently due to the slim possibility that some Olympic Games dignitary/toss bag may wish to land there. There is an A Bombers style dirt hillclimb planned to replace it which will be equally as good but the sprinter isn't best suited for off road so has been retired to the shed from where nothing ever re-emerges. It does mean that i wont be wiping my oily hands on Anna's nice frock again though.

Although i always mean to go and see the girl do her stuff on the Saturday night i seem to end up sat outside on the grass drinking and talking unmemorable shite instead so this video is as much for me as for you. She is there again this year, what are the chances ?...

THE TUESDAY TRITON

GONE

Back in a week and a bit. I'll leave you with funtime Francoise

GUNS AND ENGLISH ROSES

Me 'n' Alioli are headed to the far north for a week tomorrow to live with puffins, back next Friday for a big weekend. 20 miles west is York Festival of Vintage, Ellie Prix-Warr and Lex-Ann Teek will be attending and spending, doff your hat if you see them.

25 miles the other way is Whitby Goth fest, looking happy is not an option.
