Defying the Weather

Charlie’s return from Scarborough was anything but uneventful, mainly because of the headwind which blew the whole day long, but also the characters he meets along the way.  Here he comes across a racing cyclist from Newcastle who had ridden overnight in order to get to the start (4.30pm) of the Yorkshire Road Club ’50’ mile time trial at Wetherby.  Then the Bradford cyclist who had so many gadgets and extra’s on his bike he could hardly turn the pedals.  Charlie appears to have put him right as well!  And lets not forget Charlie’s Dad and his motorbike, so prone to breaking down that it beggar’s belief he didn’t abandon it in a roadside hedge!
