Title: Picked up a bike today and stopped off at MK BMX track
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on July 11, 2016, 10:51 PM

Myself and Mrs DTTDB went to the Stars & stripes American car show at Tatton Park last week. There was all sorts of stuff there including a few bikes. Mrs DTTDB saw a ladies shopper bike that caught her eye, a Puch pic nic. So after we got home I went straight onto ebay and found one for sale on a buy it now for £60. I offered £40 which was accepted. Result! The only issue was that it was collection only.... from Northampton - that's a 250 mile round trip. I was off work today, so drove down and picked it up. Seeing as I wasn't far away, I decided to stop off at a place many of us will recognise...

It felt strange being there and it being so quiet. The calm before the storm....

I see the second field is as wild as ever Andy. We could do with a few sheep on a rope tied to a pole in the middle of the field  :LolLolLolLol:

I WAS tempted, and I still had my pump in the car from the weekend, so could have pumped up the tyres. That would have made a great photo  :LolLolLolLol:

Can anyone let us borrow a flock of sheep/herd of cows to sort out that other field?

I think an afternoon with a herd of grass munchers on there and it'll be reet! .... ::)

I'm sure the "rad army" can work together to sort something out ... It really would add to everybody's benefit and enjoyment  :daumenhoch:
Happy to do my bit if needed  fistblump
