That was quick. Less than a week after sending my report and pix this certificate arrived in the post. Hopefully my bit will appear in the August "Nacelle", the TOMCC magazine.

Not quite as planned as the extension of a trip to the dentist but as a separate run in its own right. Not that I got away with going to the dentist. That was done in the morning. Four minutes in the chair and £22. Kerrching! As it was sunny, rather than do nothing or watch TV, I got togged up. Changed the route on MyRouteApp to miss out the dentist stop and found that the prospective route became 70.5 miles. I set off in warm sunshine. So I wore my Joe Rocket mesh jacket.  Of course my waterproof jacket and pants were with me. Wrong. The first planned stop for a photo was  Walmer Castle . In the end going through the seaside village of Kingsdown, firstly the narrow road was blocked by a truck delivery beer to the village pub. And then by a huge truck with a digger on the trailer reversing into a new building site. Another load of millionaire homes to be built? By the time my phone recognised my face it was almost done .

This year is the 70th anniversary of the Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club. During the year the club is recording and rewarding members that plan and do a 70 mile ride either with a group, or individually.  It might not seem much but the 70 is the important bit. The ride has to be for that purpose and not a bit of another run.  The East Kent group are having an organised run from Laguna Triumph on Sunday June 2nd.  Sunday's tend to be "family" weekends for me with a wife and dog.  So. I have planned my own 70 mile route and I think it is fittingly East Kent based. Proposed Route I planned it on MyRouteApp and fiddled with it to achieve as near 70 miles as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to set off after the dentist (!) on Wednesday and incorporate a couple or three windmills and a Tudor castle or two. Fingers crossed for decent weather.
