they do a great job.
Funny you should say about the guys on carpe that do this that ride came near to my house I got stuck behind them no problem I noted the blood bikes as some were parked up further down the road at a pub in chipperfield .
I didnt realy know what it was about till i read the stuff on the motor home behind the rider Matt one show.
I t was nice to see the local children waiting up the road to wave .
Its a small world i must have seen these under cover carpe dudes.
