The motor assisted ride, using the cycle carrier proved successful.

Last minute adjustments.
After loading 4 cycles on the the carrier at the HBCP, we drove to Swallow in N. Lincs & met with David, Athena & Pete & cycled to Louth for lunch.
Great route and weather for mid April.
Slightly marred by the 1 hour queue to return back over the Humber Bridge, as their card processing system is so slow, (what happened to cash & tickets ??).
