The First EAR Rideout Of The Year.
 

The boys and girl from the EAR all met up at Red Lodge today for the first time since last year. Here's a few pictures of what we got up to. :) Excuse the rough panoramic shots, my hands were freezing. :D

A nice panoramic shot of all the bikes at the transport cafe.

Just as we got to the train crossing the gates went down then the Police helicopter flew overhead pretty low.

A quick pick while the gates were down.

We were all then given raffle tickets and we were all confused as to what we could win. Then some pointed out the chicken a meat on the side of the bar. Needless to say nobody wanted to win this raffle. Mike come close on 2 occasions but the new guy Marco number was picked. His prize, a lovely uncooked breakfast. :lol:

Nice one Seggons. I think we should make it an annual event, and include that pub every time!
It was good to meet everyone today. Despite the cold (and it was bloody freezing. I've only just warmed up!) I enjoyed myself a lot. Let's plan another one :)

Thinking about the "local pub for local people" still makes me chuckle too!
I can remember sitting there thinking "please don't win" but then also thinking " please let Mike win a turkey" :D

All time classic random pub action!
