An early start for me 7:30 leaving home.

No Roger today still recovering from his fall.

Tess picked me up and we set of up the M6 & M52 to the start

in Brewood about 10 mile north of Wolverhampton.

With little traffic on the motor ways we were there by 8:30 for a 9 oclock start.

Numbers no signed on bikes ready sort out drinks and grub.
