This was to be my first
Preston Wheelers Christmas lunch so I was unsure about what we were going to
be doing etc. All I knew was that we were to ride out for our lunch in
Chipping before riding home. Well what can I say. Today was excellent. From
the ride to the meal everything was great. After riding to Chipping over the
Trough we made our way into the pub. Here many of the riders decided that
pints were in order to refill on the liquids that we had lost on the run in
to Chipping!! We found ourself a nice little spot in the pub where we waited
for the other members to arrive. Some of these had been in the other group
and had taken a slightly slower pace to the lunch. Others had found their
own way there either in the car or or on a bike. We sat talking and laughing
for ages before Jose and Myself decided that it was time to make a move over
to the Cafe for our lunch. We were all escorted upstairs to a brilliant
little room which had been decorated for Christmas. The tables had been set
out with crackers and hats for everyone. The atmosphere was brilliant and
when the meal came we were all very impressed. A full Christmas lunch was
had by many. Halfway through the meal you could see people beginning to
wonder how they were going to get themselves home after eating to much!!
There was a certain Gethin Butler who had drunk what he says was 1 and a
half pints who was starting to get a bit giddy. Luckily for us all the
coffees were served to sober him up!! After the meal we made our way back
over to the pub to collect our bikes before setting off back home. Can I say
a big thank you to Roy Freeman who organised this great event and it would
not be possible without him. Can I also thank everyone at the Cobbled Corner
Cafe in Chipping for a great meal. The company and the atmosphere was
brilliant today so thanks to everyone that came along. I look forward to
seeing you all again next year for another brilliant Wheelers bash. Have a
look at the pictures from this event in the
