APMC Leicestershire Lanes Run - Thursday October 3rd 2024
Chris Chant once again organised this run on Thursday October 3rd and as a welcome contrast to the torrential rain the previous day we were blessed with a fine day and brilliant sunshine.
The sun brings out the flowers and similarly the sun also tends to bring out the motor cycle riders. Eleven o' Clock saw the car park at the Appleby Inn with a wonderful turnout of probably 40 machines with riders outside enjoying the sun and chatting or inside having a welcoming hot drink.
Route sheets were distributed and by the relaxed start time of 11.30 am riders left to enjoy a 40 mile ride through mostly quiet Leicestershire lanes and passed by three local reservoirs at Thornton, Swithland and Cropston. Moving on, riders rode through the Charnwood Forest area that affords some of the best countryside in Leicestershire before the route turned back towards the Appleby Inn for the pre-ordered lunches and refreshments.
Thanks again to Chris and all who took part.👍
