More Martians Descend on us

One of the pleasures of living here is the opportunity to meet so many interesting people.   Sometimes they have bicycles between their legs and wear funny hats.

Meet the Pie Team  (as opposed to the Sky Team)

They are on a coast to coast cycle ride and have raised sponsorship money for the Great North Air Ambulance, Butterwick Hospice and the RNLB among other causes.   They have been going for seven years and are by no means the fittest on the road.   Indeed one of this years riders had only been a member for four weeks and was recovering from heart surgery.   The aim is to improve their fitness to have fun and enjoy friendship; they eat well during the day and dine in excellent establishments, drink well in the evenings and enjoy fine accommodation, all at their own expense.   Most are on the wrong side of forty. 

They are headed for Whitby and have my utmost admiration.
