Old fools ride again
Another Old Fools trip has been and gone, too old to remember what number it is but it was very good fun. This time it was London's turn for a bit of foolishness, starting in Harrow, then Rom and a final zoom around London. Well it didn't go quite according to plan, Geoff was late so we managed to get to Harrow just in time to get behind Tim as they left for our weekend in Rom.
Oh well will have a look at Harrow next time if it hasn't been redeveloped. A good bit of tomtom action got us to central Romford and the preiere inn we were all staying in. Who'd of thought of a long weekend in Romford? After a quiet evening of Essex watching the next day brought some very sunny weather, perfect for getting a good bit of sunburn at the legend that is Rom skatepark.
I hadn't been there since I was about 15, it did seem a bit smaller from what I remember but still a fantastic relic of a bygone era of park building. We all had a great zoom about with the moguls being my favorite of the day, just great to be hanging out with people who grew up there like Billy Stupple and just having some good old fun. Highlight was doing trains down the snake run, I think we had about 30 people in it at one stage.
We didn't fancy Rom for our second night so headed to (some where else in Essex) to try and fit 15 bikers and 1 girl into a pub / bar / restaurant for some grub. Strangely enough not that easy but the local Curry house accommodated us all in the end. Then back to Romford for silly stories, a bit more Rob Ridge the musical and more Essex watching. All good. Rain closed play for the next day and we all headed home but a fantastic day at Rom catching up with everyone, Thanks to Steve W off the telly and Tim Ruck for helping sort it all out and see you all on the next one with any luck back down in Cornwall.
