Bristol Show contd.) Other notable bikes were Alan Hibbard’s 1914 Wall Auto Wheel, Roy Best’s super Berini M13 ‘Egg’ and equally good 1968 Raleigh Wisp (which was his Dad’s bike), Geoff Hudspith’s crowd-magnet, the ever-improving Hudspith Steam Bicycle and John Davies’ latest restoration, his truly magnifi cent 1969 Garelli Monza sport moped. John’s efforts were rewarded with second Overall in Show Continental machine. 18 Above: left- Geoff Hudspith’s steam bicycle, right- John Davies and his prize-winning 1969 Garelli Monza �� Fruitcake Frolic- S.Staffs 7/3/10 ‘Nippy’ Bob Jeffcoat How time fl ies! It doesn’t seem possible that it’s 12 months since last we delighted in Liz’s fabulous fruit cakes, but, at least this year, it was a beautiful day – not a cloud in sight, excepting the blue smoke from 23 thunderous exhausts, of course! A splendid turn out of 23 widely varying machines, with riders to match, started off on our jaunt through some of Shropshire and Staffordshire’s country lanes, spangled with swathes of snowdrops along the verges, past picturesque country cottages and villages, eventually arriving at Patshull Fishing Lodge, where we stopped for a range of mouthwatering fi lled baps and hot tea and coffee – much needed by most, as, despite the glorious sunshine, it was proving to be a very cold day. Suitably refreshed and rested, we eventually restarted our engines, and followed Paul Harris’s scenic route back to base at the Bradford Arms, where, true to form, Liz’s specialities were displayed and distributed … gorgeous!…a fi tting reward for everyones efforts! Our thanks go to Paul for the route, Liz for the administrational duties and the scrummy cakes, and Jon, Hazel, Rhys , Dave and Liz for back-up….can’t wait for next year, now!
Out of the 23 starters, only two riders were unable to complete the ride, when John’s Power Pak cut out and refused to restart, after just half a mile’s running, and Glynn’s Triumph’s kickstart turned into a fl ailing machine, and, though it could have been classed as part of the country scene, was deemed too dangerous to continue, still, better luck, next time.
