I'll be out in the morning (very slow group) and will even bring the wife along...as long as someone helps me push her up the hills

Just Rachael joined me for the ride to the Brockham Bonfire. Although I've ridden through before and after many times I've never been to it before. Blimey a lot of people go, must have been thousands as the whole village was wall to wall people. This meant no pig bun and pint as queues were massive.

The bonfire is, well a big fire in the middle of the green. A bit more smoky than flamey than I was expecting but looked particularly good when they set the odd firework off in the middle of it.

The fireworks display though...WOW! The best display I've seen, went on for ages and was absolutely stunning. I'll post some pictures of it when I get a chance to take them off the camera.

Good company, nice bit of night riding (40 miles to add to the 55 of the CR giving a respectable total for the day), and a superb fireworks display. A good evening.

A truly spectacular fireworks display and bonfire, - I really enjoyed the evening and the night riding, it seemed really relaxed on the roads, as Andrew mentioned there were a lot of people, but it only added to the atmosphere - fantastic, Thank you to Andrew for his lights, ( Which were def, needed ) and for organising this, however he needs to be done for breaking the, Trade Discription Act: No pig bun, not pub joke
