Couldn't do it this year, I've moved to Scunthorpe 'properly' this weekend so I'm a bit busy getting straight. First one I've missed in a few years too. From what I've heard, it was a bit damp?
I felt a bit sorry for the lad on a Halifax Blue Sox scooter who was pushing it up Newton Road whilst maybe others 1000 raced past him. Don't know if he got it going but he looked a bit glum.
I'm still trying to get a photo of that and mine together, wish I'd been there to point and laugh
Seem to be a lot of RL scooters around at the moment - GB Lions, couple of Bradford Bulls ones, the Blue Sox one (I think it needs redoing along with the GB one!), a St Helens one, mine and a particularly cra Wigan one. Suspect there are probably more than football themed ones just now.
Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
I was actually under the impression that it ended last year, so it was a pleasant surprise to be passing so many of them between Leigh and Chorley yesterday afternoon.
