We\u2019re out en masse today
An extra bike enters the fray
Lapwing and curlew
A solitary cuckoo
Nature at peace and at play<\/p>

Twice up the Glenmore Pass
Once, a white van up my ass
As I descend at thirty
He starts to get shirty
Nearly runs me into the grass<\/p>

The return is a much gentler climb
No hooligans behind this time
Drivers polite
No need for a fight
And certainly no need for a crime<\/p>

We return to the ritzy Spa Club
And gatecrash the outdoor hot tub
It\u2019s more than we\u2019re worth
So back down to earth
Caravan, cheap wine, homely grub\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
