Inglewhite – In the Dry

He must have written up this run shortly after the event, because his excitement, enjoyment and enthusiasm all shine through until I wish for a return to my youth also.

And I can tell you why he didn’t start out with the run in the morning – his parents in those early days of his cycling career, would not allow him to start out if it was raining – well he could catch his death, couldn’t he ?  And he was only 19 years old.  But he made the most of what was left of the day, and it is a joy for us to be able to share it with him.

  1. Thanks John.

    I’m curious about all of Charlie’s night-time riding illuminated by a carbide lamp. Just how much light did the carbide lamps throw, and how reliable were they in inclement weather?
