A LYRICAL BICYCLE RIDE

Saturday 2nd March 2019

Their bicycles are the fastest the world's ever seen,
From Goosnargh to Chipping for coffee and cream.
They have supersonic engines fuelled by a brew,
Passing Beacon Fell Hill and admiring the view.



They ride their bicycles around and around           
       Down every hill and up every mound.                   
       With birds abounding they spot a partridge            
And look forward to coffee at The Gibbon Bridge.
 

The return trip is harder with stomachs part full,
They find even the flat bits a bit of a pull,
But leaving Parlick behind as Goosnargh appears
It's been worth all the (blood?), the sweat and the tears.


And now as the day comes to a close,
Our bravehearted cyclists can only suppose
With food time beckoning up there ahead,
They meet Richard, Tom & Mary at The Stags Head.


With apologies to too many poets to mention, one can only congratulate the Longridge Cycle Group who keep
 "MOVING ON"!!!
