Kelso Bikefest 2004

Kelso Bikefest…..Sun 18th July 2004
This was my first major trip on my trike and first real motorway mileage.
I know my trike was over-geared due to putting larger wheels on it, but this was the day i found out exactly how over-geared it was.
My journey from Birmingham to kelso a journey of 265 miles.
at approximately 40-50 mph depending on the if the road was uphill downhill or flat
A journey google says should take 5 hours and 2 minutes turned into a 9 hour ride and the the 2nd worst ride i had ever undertaken, now whilst my trike was comfortable and built around my disability, on this journey it did not help. and after this, there was the repeat journey back down to look forward to.
kelso was your average show/rally and the people who you went with made it what it was, but it is so memorable because of that journey.
