A big thank you to ALL that contributed to making Bai’s memorial ride a wonderful event. I particularly enjoyed the gluten free apple crumble, thank you. πI wrote this poem at the lunch stop and read it out at the afternoon tea. For Bai……
There was a young cyclist called Bai. Who wore lycra, and others would cry.
Oh, My God!
So up the hill he would go. With all his mates in tow.
But now a tragic twist. He is sadly missed.
Bai, now cycles a cloud. And we all look up and feel proud.
