Report from Rod Hann
Sunday 17th December 2023, saw the running of the South Dorset Sections ‘Mince Pie Run’. A dry but chilly day (well it is December) saw 19 entries meet at The Three Compasses at Charminster. We set off at 10-30am on a leisurely 30-mile route which stuck to mainly bigger roads in an attempt to keep relatively clean.
One minor road broke that rule and was a bit messy. Nice views of the beautiful Dorset countryside took everyone in a northerly loop and ended at Leigh. Several members also arrived in cars, making the total attendees around 25.
Carol had made copious amounts of mince pies, sausage rolls, etc. which with hot drinks were consumed at leisure. Once refuelled everyone made their own way home.
A good turnout for this time of year with at least four different Sections represented. One entrant, unfortunately, broke down on his way home but was soon collected and recovered to his home, so all’s well that ends well. That completes another year so look forward to some more good riding in 2024.
